Her solo career began with *Het vind* in 1984, which featured the top twenty hit "Ännu doftar kärlek."

Fredriksson achieved significant success with her third solo album, *Efter stormen*, in 1987, which topped the Swedish charts and included the hit single "Efter stormen." Her international breakthrough with Roxette came through hits like "The Look" from *Look Sharp!* (1988) and "Joyride" from *Joyride* (1991). During this period, Fredriksson released the solo single "Sparvöga" in 1989, which became her highest-selling single. Her most successful solo album, *Den ständiga resan* (1992), was both commercially and critically acclaimed, featuring four music videos directed by Jonas Åkerlund.

Fredriksson returned to solo work with *I en tid som vår* in 1996 and later released her eighth solo album, *Nu!*, in 2013. In 2002, she survived a brain tumor and subsequent treatment, after which she released her first English-language solo album, *The Change*, in 2004. She also released a covers album, *Min bäste vän*, in 2006. Her final single, "Där du andas," topped the Swedish charts in 2008. Fredriksson continued with Roxette until her death on December 9, 2019, caused by complications from her earlier brain tumor diagnosis.
