Yaki-Da was a Swedish pop duo consisting of Marie Knutsen and Linda Schönberg. The group was created by Jonas "Joker" Berggren of Ace of Base, who took on production duties for their debut album and composed the majority of its tracks.

Their initial album, Pride (1995), included the prominent single "I Saw You Dancing", which reached number 54 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and climbed to number 11 on the Billboard Dance Charts. The duo found more substantial commercial acclaim across Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

Their follow-up record, A Small Step For Love (1998), was released without Berggren's participation and saw limited availability primarily in Europe and South Korea. This album featured one single, "I Believe", accompanied by a music video shot at an airport in Korea.

An important note is that the track "Show Me Love" from the Pride album, originally penned and produced by Berggren, was subsequently reinterpreted by Ace of Base for their 2002 release, Da Capo.
