"When You Tell the World You're Mine" is a song recorded by Swedish singers Agnes Carlsson and Björn Skifs. The song was performed at the Wedding of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, and Daniel Westling on June 19, 2010. It was also the official wedding song, written especially for the occasion and as a gift to the bridal couple. Before the ceremony, the title and everything concerning the song was a secret, and it was not until the actual performance that this information was revealed.
The lyrics was written by Jörgen Elofsson, who has worked with Agnes before, and the music was written by Jörgen Elofsson & John Lundvik as the official wedding song. As a tribute to Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland engaged Elofsson to compose a song that express what we feel when we fall in love with someone. The single and EP is a part of the official wedding series, which is sold exclusively through ICA and iTunes.
The EP contains, except from three different versions of "When You Tell the World You're Mine", a selection of the music performed during the wedding ceremony in Storkyrkan. A part of the revenue from the single is going to the Crown Princess Couple Wedding foundation, to prevent alienation and improve good health among children in Sweden.
Right after the arch bishops speech, Agnes and Björn Skifs performed the song together with the choir of "Storkyrkan" and the orchestra. This marked the end of the ceremony, before Victoria and Daniel walked out to the porch and behind closed doors, Prince Daniel was awarded the Royal Order of the Seraphim, before leaving the cathedral.
