In 1993 Ace of Base came from out of nowhere to top the charts with their debut hit "All That She Wants". Their less remembered follow up "Wheel Of Fortune" only managed to get to number 20. Then came this which didn't even make the Top 40. One may have thought that was them finished and largely remembered for one song.
Then in 1994 they reached number 2 with "The Sign" and followed this up with the number 5 "Don't Turn Around". They were back in business it seemed, so this record was re-released. It fared better than the original release, but only by 2 places.
Why this only made number 40 is a mystery. It certainly got its fair share of radio play. It also came from a chart topping album of the same name. Maybe that's why, people bought the album instead.
All of their hits to that point had come from the "Happy Nation" album and they had a further one in early 1995 with "Living In Danger".
They had several more hits with the last to date coming in 1999. The most successful of these was the number 5 "Life Is A Flower" in 1998.
