Rickard Göransson is a Swedish songwriter, producer, and musician. He was the lead guitarist for American alternative rock band Carolina Liar. He has written and produced for artists including Ariana Grande, Jessie J, Nicki Minaj, Avril Lavigne, Ellie Goulding, Enrique Iglesias, Nick Jonas, Charlie Puth, and Selena Gomez.

Due to underwelming performances in charts and live tours, the band initially thought of disbanding in 2011. Eventually, Rickard, alongside brothers Johan Carlsson and Peter Carlsson were recruited by Max Martin to become songwriters and producers under the newly-branded studio MXM Music and Productions in 2012.
