Hello Saferide is a Swedish twee pop band fronted by songwriter Annika Norlin. According to Norlin's MySpace, the stage name "Hello Saferide" was "inspired by an intelligent bus driver in a drug-addicted small town, don't ask."[1] The Swedish-language version of the band's bio[2] identifies the town as Willimantic, Connecticut.

Based on the Internet success of the song "Highschool Stalker," Hello Saferide was signed to Razzia Records in 2005.

In 2007, Norlin released a Swedish-language album under the band name Säkert![3] ("Yeah, right!"). The album won her two Grammis awards in 2008, for best female pop act and best lyrics.

Annika Norlin is a journalist, right now hosting the Swedish music radio show Musikjournalen Live Session[citation needed]
