Det vackraste is a song in Swedish about love. The song was originally sang by Swedish pop singer Cecilia Vennersten and finished 2nd in the Swedish Melodifestivalen 1995. The song was awarded with a Grammis for "best song", in concurance with among others Jan Johansens "Se på mig", the winning song of the Melodifestivalen 1995.

"Det vackraste" was written by Nanne Grönvall, Peter Grönvall and Maria Rådsten. Those, who are the band One More Time, also recorded the song in an English language version in 1997, now with the name "Living in a Dream".

In 1999 Belgian artist Dana Winner recorded another English language version of the song. Now it was named I'll Sing a Song Today, and was not about love, but about nature.

In 2005, ten years after the original performing by Cecilia Vennersten, a cover version on the original text was recorded by Swedish pop singer Lotta Engberg on the album Kvinna & man, which is the name of the folk song/pop inspired album she recorded with Jarl Carlsson.
