Songfacts®:

  • Ace of Base scored again with this up-tempo hit, which became an international success. It's a very upbeat song that has a gospel influence. The song has had staying power: it was the first to be played the night that the Florida Marlins won Game 7 of the 1997 World Series and it has been featured in the motion pictures Night At The Roxbury and I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. However, it was also the last original Ace of Base song to crack the Top-40 in the United States (their cover of Cruel Summer hit #10 in 1998). The group went on hiatus in 2003, but began performing again in 2007. >>>
