But she received the happy news that everything was as it should be.
– My heart reacts quite quickly to different things, she says.
When Aftonbladet prays Petra Marklund41, put a plus on life right now, she gives the highest marks to everything.
Earlier she was worried that she had heart problems, but luckily everything was fine.
Thus, she gives her health five plus.
The health 
– My lively heart was exactly as it should be. It’s just that it’s a bit of a double whammy sometimes. So I have to say that the health is actually very good as well.
What does a lively heart mean? Is it just a double whammy sometimes?
– My heart reacts quite quickly to different things. I guess I’m a sensitive person. I always have been and still am. I think it’s a fairly typical trait of an artist.
– I also have newly operated vocal cords, which was a pain. And then after the operation, they are back again and feel even better. We run a five there.
The economy 
/
– I would probably have to say a fourth or fifth. We have a damn good time here. Everything else would be very strange if you said. I’m fine. So I must be grateful.
The love
– I am a parent of small children. Then it can be crowded. But considering that I am, I have to say that it is a five. I will say five on everything. You know what, I’m a grateful woman here!
The career
– I have to say five. I actually have to say that. I think I’ve never been in a better place songwriting-wise, soul-wise, touring-wise. It has sort of happened in Norway as well. And I’m out with my band. And we’re like the best gang ever, we have a lot of fun together.
The Norwegian national team has used Marklund’s song “Händerna mot himlen” in social media and now it has become the country’s unofficial WC song.
– This has caused it to explode in Norway. And it hasn’t done it before. So now half of the tour has been in Norway and I’m kind of there all the time.
– I think that’s the whole point of being able to age as an artist and work for many years. That you sort of find your nuggets of gold and save them. Being an artist and songwriter has never been so much fun.
The future plans
– I say five. I think life feels fun. And then there are lots of things that you can really notice around the world.
– But if you don’t believe or hope for anything, everything is lost at once. So I choose to drive on.
