The only time I ever heard this song was on AT20 (AC). It debuted the week that the chart went all whacky. Then it was played again during the year-end Top 60 of 2000.
Anyway, this is one of my favorite Roxette songs. It's so upbeat that is seemed more appropriate for CHR rather than AC.

If not for the weird chart, I might never have heard it (then again, I don't remember how it goes, since I was trying to figure out what the heck was going on with the chart). I don't remember hearing it on the Top 60 of 2000, though, since it was in the first half, which was pre-empted by non-stop Christmas music. As I recall, though, the song was pretty good. |

This is a great song! Among their best if not the best. I still listen to it on occasion as it's on my Best Of The Max 1994-2004 MP3 CD.

Great song. Shame pop never played it.
This was Roxette's last major UK hit, peaking at #11.

This is a good song. Too bad it didn't do much here in America. :(

Roxette need another Greatest Hits collection just so I can hear this song on it! They do. They released two "The Pop Hits" and "The Ballad Hits" a few years ago. Between them they comprise all their singles. Or you could just get the "Have A Nice Day" album |

I just remembered this song a few weeks ago and dug through cd's to find it to listen again. I was going crazy trying to find it. It just randomly got into my head. What a great song. It's a shame it didn't impact here in the States.

I like it. The melody has this "come hither" sort of forbidden quality to it that sucks you in especially at the start. It may not be well known like their older stuff but this was still good.

It debuted on the AC version of American Top 20 that week when there were 7 debuts. I thought it was great and wish it would've hung around longer.

It did get to #48 on R&R Pop; probably would've done better if not for being released on the small label Edel America. The only hit I recall they managed was their first release, Jennifer Paige's "Crush".
