Swedish broadcaster SVT has made the 32 song titles for Melodifestivalen 2003 public. Names of songwriters and composers are also public, the names of the artists are not yet officially confirmed.

Several in Sweden well-known artists submitted songs for the Swedish national selection. Although the names are not yet officially released, some performers are songwriter or composer too. As their names are officially released, it's not very difficult to guess the names of the performer.

Some songs will most likely be performed by these artists: 15 minuter will be performed by Dee Snider, singer of the group Twisted Sister. Sanna Nielsen, who entered Melodifestivalen last year, will probably sing All That It Takes. Jan Johansen, who represented Sweden in 1995 at the Eurovision Song Contest, will sing You. Carola, who represented Sweden in 1993 and 1991, will sing Autumn Leaf. Popstars 2002 winners Supernatural will sing TKO. For the song Tills jag mötte dig Tommy Nilsson (Eurovision Song Contest 1989) and Geir Rönning are possible candidates to perform it. Runners-up of last year's Melodifestivalen, Mendez, will perform Carneval. Peter Sahlin will sing Television and Crazy In Love will be performed by Jill Johnson, who represented Sweden at the Eurovision Song Contest in 1998. Evig kärlek will be performed by the Swedish Eurovision representative of 1996: Nanne Grönvall.

Sahlene, who represented Estonia at the Eurovision Song Contest of 2002, will sing Stop Look Listen. Nina and Kim, former singers of the band Friends – they represented Sweden at the contest in 2001 and broke up last year – will sing Give Me Your Love. Hanna and Linna, who participated in Melodifestivalen last year, will sing Nothing Can Stop Us together. The winner of the Swedish Fame Factory (which has a lot in common with Operación Triunfo) Andrés Esteche will sing Just Like A Boomerang. Maria will be performed by Östen med resten, who participated last year in the Swedish national selection.
