Former Norwegian pop duo M2M surprised fans as they teased a clip of the two artists reuniting.

In an Instagram post on Sept. 22, Marit Larsen and Marion Raven were seen singing an acoustic version of their song The Day You Went Away.

"Let's give this story a better ending," the duo wrote in the caption.

The pair included a specific lyric in their cover, "I remember, date and time, September 22nd, Sunday, 25 after nine," denoting the time and day they posted the cover.

Peter Zizzo, one of the songwriters and producers of The Day You Went Away, felt nostalgic with the reunion cover of the duo.

"You guys look so unchanged that I was only pretty sure this wasn't a clip from 20 years ago," he commented on their post.  

The duo has yet to confirm their official comeback, but they launched a website with a signup.

In 1999, the duo's song Don't Say You Love Me was chosen as the soundtrack for  Pokémon: The First Movie and appeared in its closing credits.  

In 2000, M2M released their debut album Shades of Purple, which included some of their greatest hits Pretty Boy and Mirror Mirror.  

The duo went on their solo careers in 2002, with Marion dropping her solo alt-rock album Here I Am in 2005 and Marit debuting her solo album Under the Surface in 2006.
