That same year, Robyn returned home to Sweden and discovered the electronic music brother-and-sister duo The Knife while browsing through a record store. Robyn described the album as a "big compromise" and was upset because she "was going backwards" and not "doing what wanted to".
The previous year she had released her third album, Don't Stop the Music, but felt disillusioned by the label's attempt to market her as the next Christina Aguilera in the United States. In 2003, Robyn left her record label, Jive Records, because of the lack of artistic control offered to her by the label. Five singles were released from the album: " Be Mine!", " Who's That Girl", UK number one song " With Every Heartbeat", " Konichiwa Bitches" and " Handle Me". The album received a nomination for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 2009 Grammy Awards. It was released Internationally in 2007, two years after it was originally released. The album debuted at number one on the Swedish Albums Chart in 2005, becoming Robyn's first-ever number-one album on the chart. It also marks Robyn's first album release on her own record label, Konichiwa Records, which she founded in 2005. The album represented a departure from Robyn's previous urban and R&B musical style, and explored synth-pop and dance-pop music, with inspirations from electronic duo The Knife and rock band Teddybears. It was released on 29 April 2005 by Konichiwa Records. Robyn is the fourth studio album by Swedish singer Robyn.
