'Vi ska vinna!' was written in 2001 by Daniel Bckstrm, Stefan Enberg, Marko Kristian Lehtosalo ("Markoolio") and Hans Schumacher and performed by Markoolio together with the band Excellence. It was the fight song for Sweden during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States. The song appeared on Markoolio's 2001 studio album 'Tjock och lycklig' and was released as a single on 28 January 2002, peaking at number three on the Swedish Singles Chart.

The song received a Svensktoppen test on 9 February 2002[http://www.sr.se/p4/svetop/2002/020209sv.htm Svensktoppen - '9 February 2002'] but failed to enter chart.[http://www.sr.se/p4/svetop/2002/020216sv.htm Svensktoppen - '16 February 2002']

The single version featured rewritten refrain lyrics, replacing "Vi ska vinna, vi ska ta dom, vi ska gra kttfrs av dom" ("we'll win, we'll get them, we'll make ground meat out of them") with "Vi ska vinna, vi ska ta dom, vi ska gra losers av dom" ("we'll win, we'll get them, we'll make losers out of them") following the September 11 attacks of 2001 in the United States. The lines "Jag har sagt upp mig frn mitt jobb, s jag inte missar n't nr Ludmila ker bob" ("I've quit my job, so I don't miss anything when Ludmila rides the bobsliegh") were also changed, following the November 2001 Ludmila Engquist doping scandal.
