In a recent development, pop duo M2M have reunited after more than two decades since their disbandment in 2002.
On September 22, Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn shared a video on Instagram to give listeners an acoustic version of their hit song, “The Day You Went Away.”
The post’s caption includes the exact lyrics as “Sunday September 22, 9:25 AM” and the video was posted at 9:25 AM that same day.
While an official announcement about their comeback and new music has yet to be made, Larsen and Ravn have created an Instagram account and a dedicated website with a sign-up form.
The website has the message “Let’s give this story a better ending…”
M2M, originally from Oslo, Norway, first rose to fame with their breakthrough song “Don’t Say You Love Me” in 1999.
On social media platform Reddit, fans expressed excitement for the reunion. One user commented, “Their voices are so clear and sweet, like a sweet river flowing through my head. And their songs are just pure, happy bubblegum pop!”

“This is pretty exciting news, I’ve followed their individual careers for years so it’s hard to believe they’re collaborating again after all these years,” another wrote.
A third said, “Oh my god, this wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card,” while a fourth wrote, “I’m going crazy. They were my childhood. They were famous for the first Pokemon soundtrack when I was 14 and I loved Pokemon. I’m married now. Just seeing them back together brings back so much childhood nostalgia.”
In 1999, M2M contributed to the original soundtrack of “Pokémon: The First Movie” and later released the album “Shades of Purple” which sold 1.5 million copies.
“The Big Room”, their second album was released in 2001 and after that, the two decided to explore their own paths.
Ravn released his debut solo album, “Here I Am,” in 2005, while Larsen released his debut solo album, “Under the Surface,” in 2006. Since then, both musicians have continued to release new music and go on solo tours.
