In 1982, Lyngstad chose Genesis drummer and vocalist Phil Collins to produce the album Something's Going On and unveiled the hit single and video "I Know There's Something Going On" in August of that year.
The single became a number-one hit in Belgium and Switzerland and was a Top 10 hit in Australia, Austria, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, South Africa and Sweden.
The track also proved successful in the US, peaking at No.
13 (and spending almost four months on the Billboard Hot 100).
Sveriges Television documented this historical event, by filming the whole recording process.

The promotional videos and clips for "Shine" are included in Frida – The DVD.

She arranged and financed summer camps for poor children in Sweden, focusing on environmental and ecological issues.
Her environmental work for the organisation led to the decision to record again.
The album Djupa andetag (Deep Breaths) was released in 1996 and became a number-one success in Sweden.
