Joyride is the third studio album by Swedish pop rock duo Roxette, released on 25 March 1991 by EMI as the follow-up to their international breakthrough Look Sharp!, as well as the non-album single "It Must Have Been Love", from the soundtrack to Pretty Woman. The album was recorded over an 11-month period in Sweden. The duo experienced considerable pressure from their record label to deliver a successful follow-up album, and resisted pressure to relocate to Los Angeles and work with experienced American producers. The album was a critical and commercial success upon release, with a retrospective review for AllMusic calling it "the work of two pop artists at the top of their game." Joyride topped the charts in seven European countries, and was certified multi-platinum in several territories. It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in Argentina, Austria and Germany. The title track, "Fading Like a Flower", "The Big L.", "Spending My Time" and "Church of Your Heart" were released as singles. The band toured extensively to support the record, performing to over 1.7 million people across four continents during the "Join the Joyride! Tour".
