Smile DK

Smile.DK is a Swedish pop music group with Malin Kernby and Veronica Larsson as current member. The band Smile.DK is well-known around the world partly due to their song "Butterfly" in Dance Dance Revolution.

History

Despite what the name suggest, Malin, Veronica and former member Nina are not Danish; they are all from Sweden. They marketed their album in Denmark, hence the ".dk" tag.

Veronica and Nina first formed their band as Smile and published their first album Smile in 1998. It received wide attention, especially in Japan. Several songs in this album were included in EMI Dancemania compilations, of which one of the songs, "Butterfly", was eventually licensed by Konami into the first version of Dance Dance Revolution. Since then, Butterfly has become the most popular song in Dance Dance Revolution's history.

After the first album, Nina left Smile and started a solo career and Veronica replaced Nina in Smile. The band name was also changed from Smile to Smile-dk.

The single "Kissy Kissy" from their second album is also a popular track in the dance game EZ2Dancer.
