The band took part in Melodifestivalen 2012 with "Baby Doll" written by Mårten Eriksson, Lina Eriksson and Susie Päivärinta and made it to the final after winning a spot from the "second chance" round alongside Thorsten Flinck & Revolutionsorkestern.^[1] In the final they finished in sixth place.

In 2015 Top Cats started their own record label TC entertainment.

At the new label, Top Cats released the Kick Down record that was recorded in King's side studio in Gnesta.

Two years later, the band released its first EP "in the middle of the night", which was partly recorded in the band's private studio, located in a barn in northern Värmland.

New music is recorded in 2018 and as the first single, Piece of my Heart was released in June.
