Secret Service is a Swedish pop band formed in Stockholm in 1979. The group quickly established itself with a string of hits throughout the 1980s, becoming one of the most recognizable acts within the European new wave and synth-pop scene. The band's core members have included Ola Håkansson (vocals), Tim Norell and Ulf Wahlberg (keyboards), with a supporting cast of changing musicians throughout the years. Notably, Håkansson's deep, distinctive voice and Norell's songwriting and occasional use of the pseudonym Norell Oson Bard have been significant factors in the band's lasting appeal.

Secret Service's music has been characterized by a blend of catchy melodies, romantic lyrics, and sophisticated synthesizer arrangements. They gained international fame with hits like "Oh Susie," "Flash in the Night," and "Ten O'Clock Postman," which have since become timeless classics within the genre. Throughout their career, the band has continued to release new music while retaining their signature sound, as evidenced by their more recent releases such as "Together We Stand," "Secret Mission," and "Mama Tell Me Why." Their ability to adapt to contemporary music trends while remaining true to their roots has allowed Secret Service to maintain a loyal fan base and enjoy enduring success well into the 21st century.
