Carola entered Melodifestivalen 2008 as part of the duo '' Johnson & Häggkvist '' with Andreas Johnson . Their first single was called " Lucky Star " which became popular on the radio . In the melodifestival in February , they sang " One Love " , written by Carola , Johnson and Peter Kvint . They were the early favourites to win the whole show , taking part in the second qualifier . They qualified for the Second Chance round , missing out on an automatic final spot . Though widely tipped to qualify for the final after all , they did not even proceed from the first voting round in the Second Chance programme . Although '' One Love '' did not become an enormous success , the song '' Lucky Star '' which they released a few months prior to the contest did sell well , and topped the Swedish charts for weeks .
