"It
Must Have Been Love" is a power ballad written
by Per Gessle and
performed by the Swedish pop duo Roxette.
The ballad became
the duo's 3rd #1 hit in the United States,[1] and is
one of their best-selling releases, leading the single to be
certified gold in a number of countries.
The song, included on the
soundtrack to the hugely popular film Pretty Woman, rivals "The Look,"
"Joyride," and "Listen to Your Heart" as the song
most closely associated with them. In 2005, Per Gessle received an award from BMI after the song's four millionth radio
play.
