Sleeping Single

The song Sleeping Single, with its 4:38 duration, is part of the album Look Sharp!, released by the Swedish duo Roxette. This work, the group's second studio effort, saw the light of day on October 21, 1988, two years after their debut with Pearls of Passion. The recording took place between March and September 1988 at EMI Studios in Stockholm and Trident II Studios in London. While commercial success in Sweden was immediate, reaching number one and achieving a 6x platinum certification, the duo's true international breakthrough came with this album. Look Sharp! became the turning point for Roxette, achieving platinum or multi-platinum certifications in various territories.

Four of its singles achieved notable commercial success, and in the United States, the album went platinum. Songs like The Look and Listen to Your Heart topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The duo, formed by Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle, has sold 75 million records and singles throughout their career, establishing themselves as one of Sweden's most successful groups. Global fame solidified in 1989, driven by The Look and their contribution to the soundtrack of the film Pretty Woman with It Must Have Been Love.
