Remember the first time you heard “It Must Have Been Love” and felt your heart swell? Roxette had a magical way of crafting songs that lodged themselves in your brain—and your soul.

But beyond the chart-toppers like “Listen to Your Heart” or “The Look,” there’s a treasure trove of underrated gems you’ve probably forgotten (until now).

Here are five Roxette hits that’ll hit you with a wave of nostalgia—and remind you why this Swedish duo was pure pop perfection.

1. “Dressed for Success” (1988)

Before they conquered the U.S., Roxette was already a force in Europe, and this sassy bop was their breakout.

With its infectious synth riff and Marie Fredriksson’s powerhouse vocals, it’s a song about ambition—and dressing the part.

Fun fact: The band’s label initially dismissed it as “too Swedish” for international audiences. Joke’s on them—it became their first U.S. top-20 hit!

2. “Dangerous” (1989)

Ever heard a song that makes you want to strut down a dimly lit alley in slow motion? This is it.

Per Gessle’s raspy verses and that moody saxophone solo make it a noir-pop masterpiece.

Behind the scenes: The band recorded the demo in a tiny Stockholm studio, convinced it’d be a flop. Instead, it became a global smash.

3. “Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)” (1991)

If heartbreak had a soundtrack, this power ballad would be on repeat.

Marie’s voice soars over aching lyrics and a chorus that’s impossible not to sing along to.

Bonus trivia: The song was almost cut from their “Joyride” album for being “too sad.” Thankfully, cooler heads prevailed.

4. “Sleeping in My Car” (1994)

A rebellious, high-energy romp that proves Roxette could rock just as hard as they could ballad.

The song’s playful lyrics and gritty guitars make it feel like a joyride (pun intended) with the windows down.

Did you know? It was banned by the BBC for its “suggestive” lyrics—which only made fans love it more.

5. “Wish I Could Fly” (1999)

A late-career stunner that blends dreamy pop with orchestral grandeur.

Marie’s haunting vocals and the song’s cinematic production make it one of their most underrated tracks.

Behind the music: It was inspired by Per’s fascination with airplanes—and the longing to escape life’s chaos.

So, which of these Roxette deep cuts hit you hardest?

Whether you’re rediscovering them or hearing them for the first time, one thing’s clear: Roxette’s magic never fades.

Now go forth and blast these forgotten bangers—your inner ’90s self will thank you.
