The producers initially turned down 'It must have been love' but changed their minds after re-editing the film.įound: Melody Maker, Den Haag, June 16, 1990 'Christmas for the broken hearted' was re-recorded with Marie Fredriksson replacing a single Christmas-referenced line in the song and adding some instrumentation and background vocal overlays to enhance the sound.

Gessle has claimed that the two-year-old recording was chosen because Roxette did not have time to compose and record a new song while touring. In 1990, the song was included in the movie soundtrack for 'Pretty woman'. The song started its life in 1987 as 'Christmas for the broken hearted', a top 10 hit in Sweden but unreleased in other territories. It became their third number 1 hit in the USA in 1990, peaking at number 3 in the Dutch Top 40 and the UK singles chart. 'It must have been love' was written by Per Gessle and performed by Roxette.
