"När löven faller" is a song written by Carola Häggkvist (lyrics) and Ingemar Åberg (composer). Carola Häggkvist applied for Melodifestivalen 2003 with the song, where it was first accepted. But when Carola Häggkvist said she didn't want to perform it on stage herself, the song was rejected since rules require the one singing at the demo recording to be prepared to perform the song at Melodifestivalen.[1]
