<… Read Full Bio ↴Swedish pop group Ace of Base was formed in Göteborg, Sweden in 1990.
The band's original lineup consisted of Ulf Ekberg (Buddha), and siblings Jonas Berggren (Joker), Linn Berggren and Jenny Berggren; the two Berggren sisters left in 2007 and 2009 respectively, and were replaced with Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson.
Ace Of Base broke through internationally in 1993 with the hit 'All That She Wants' and one year later with 'The Sign' worldwide. Their album 'Happy Nation' (released as 'The Sign' in the USA) went on to sell over 20 million copies.
Their second album, "The Bridge" released in 1995, was well received with the hit single 'Beautiful Life' breaking away from their reggae-pop sound into a more pop-dance sound. It seemed clear that with music tastes rapidly changing, the hype about the band died down, much to the relief of blonde singer Linn who decided to hand over power to her sister Jenny for their third album. "Flowers", also known as "Cruel Summer" in America. It was released in 1998 and was not as popular as their first two albums.
Their fourth album, "Da Capo", was released in 2002. Whilst well received by fans, Da Capo received little publicity from the new record company Universal after Mega Records ceased to exist in 2001.
In October and November 2005, the band performed several concerts at the "Night of the Proms" show in Belgium, their first orchestated work. Jenny, Jonas, and Ulf performed four of their biggest hits to the audience: The Sign, All That She Wants, Beautiful Life & Life Is A Flower.
In 2007 Ulf Ekberg confirmed in an interview that Malin Berggren has officially left the band and that she would not be involved with any future projects. The group had already been performing mostly without Linn as a trio for a decade before her departure.
Since 2007 the band is on tour, performing in Europe and Asia. A global world tour is planned for 2009.
On November 2008 Ace of Base issued a new Greatest Hits compilation. The 3-disc set includes one CD with the hits, a second CD containing remixes, and the third disc, a DVD containing all the music videos. Three new remixes, "The Sign 2009", "Wheel of Fortune 2009" and "Don't Turn Around 2009" are included. "Wheel of Fortune 2009" were released worldwide on 24 October 2009 as the lead single of the Greatest Hits album.
In 2009, Ulf Ekberg and Jonas Berggren were joined by two new vocalists, Clara Hagman and Julia Williamson. The band released their fifth album, The Golden Ratio, in September 2010. It entered the German album charts at #20 (with All For You and The Golden Ratio both entering the Top 40) and at # 100 in Switzerland. The band plan to release "The Golden Ratio" in the UK in 2011.

All For You
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thought I could
So far what I told you, you misunderstood
It used to be so good
What went wrong with us?
I remember a night in Montparnasse
You gave me a painting it made our hearts
When we still were young
I won't give it up
Can't you see I'm not strong enough? ooh
Don't call my bluff
A sunny sunny day
[Chorus]
I'm doing it all for you
But you're letting me down
You better turn around
I'm doing it all for you, all all for you
L amour est neant
Hand in hand on our journey
Set for love
You and me against the world
Never apart
So naive I could be
I thought our love
Would last
I won't give it up
Can't you see I'm not strong enough? ooh
Don't call my bluff
A sunny sunny day
[Chorus: x2]
When I'm singing the groove for you
All all for you
Come to me, honey
Help me understand
About your feelings, about your plans
Just one more chance to hear my prayer
Ah
Ah
All for you
Uh
Uh
All for you
[Chorus]
All for you
I will do the thing tomorrow
All for you
Babe I'm gonna regret my sorrow ?
All for you
I will do the same tomorrow
Babe I'm gonna
regret my sorrow
In these lyrics, the singer is expressing their love for someone, but also their frustration and disappointment with the way things have turned out in their relationship. The first verse references an attempt to write a love song, which was misunderstood, demonstrating the breakdown of communication between the two people. The second verse recalls a happier time in the relationship, with a specific memory of a meaningful gift given in a picturesque location. However, the chorus makes it clear that the subject of the song is not reciprocating the singer's efforts, leading to a feeling of being let down.
The repeated refrain of "I'm doing it all for you" emphasizes the singer's dedication and commitment to the relationship, but also underscores the one-sided nature of their efforts. The final lines of the song indicate a sense of resignation and acceptance that things may not change - "All for you, I will do the same tomorrow, Babe I'm gonna regret my sorrow."
Overall, the lyrics of "All For You" capture the complicated emotions of a relationship that may have once been strong, but has since faltered due to a lack of mutual effort and understanding.

Tried to write you a love song
I attempted to express my love for you through a song
Thought I could
I believed that I was capable of writing a love song for you
So far what I told you, you misunderstood
I realize that the things I've said to you have been misunderstood by you
It used to be so good
Our relationship used to be great, but something went wrong
What went wrong with us?
I'm unsure of what went wrong, and I'm searching for answers
I remember a night in Montparnasse
I have a memory of a special night in Montparnasse
You gave me a painting it made our hearts
You gave me a painting that made our hearts feel connected and in sync
So I cherish all moments
I hold all of the special moments we've shared very dear
When we still were young
When our relationship was still in its early stages
I won't give it up
I won't give up on our relationship
Can't you see I'm not strong enough? ooh
I feel weak and vulnerable, and I need your support
Don't call my bluff
Don't assume that I'm not serious about my love for you
A sunny sunny day
A beautiful day with sunshine and blue skies
I'm doing it all for you
I'm putting in all the effort for the sake of our relationship
But you're letting me down
You're not reciprocating my efforts, and it's disappointing me
You better turn around
You need to make a change and show me that you're committed
I'm doing it all for you, all all for you
I'm doing everything I can for you, with my whole heart and soul
Hand in hand on our journey
Together, we're on a journey in life
Set for love
Our journey is centered around our love for each other
You and me against the world
No matter what, we'll always have each other's backs
Never apart
We'll always be together, not physically apart
So naive I could be
I was foolishly innocent and optimistic about our love
I thought our love
I believed that our love for each other
Would last
Would never fade away
When I'm singing the groove for you
When I'm performing the music that represents my love for you
Come to me, honey
Come to me, my love
Help me understand
Please communicate with me and help me understand your feelings
About your feelings, about your plans
Tell me everything about your emotions and your future aspirations
Just one more chance to hear my prayer
I'm pleading with you for just one more chance to express my love and commitment
Ah
Ah
All for you
My devotion and efforts are all for you
Uh
Uh
All for you
My love for you is the driving force behind everything I do
All for you
Everything I do is for the sake of our relationship
I will do the thing tomorrow
I'll keep trying and working on our relationship, starting from tomorrow
Babe I'm gonna regret my sorrow ?
I don't want to feel regretful about not doing more for our relationship
I will do the same tomorrow
I'll continue putting in effort for our love tomorrow and every day after

"All For You"
Tout pour toi
Liaison dangereuse
[Verse 1:]
I tried to write you a love song I thought I could
So far what I told, you misunderstood
It used to be so good
What went wrong with us
I remember our night in Montparnasse
You gave me a painting made of us
So I cherish our moments when we still were young
[Bridge:]
I won’t give it up
Can’t you see I’m not strong enough
Don’t call my bluff
A sunny, sunny day
[Chorus:]
I’m doing it all for you
But you’re letting me down, you better turn around
I’m doing it all for you
a-a a-All for you
L’amour ou le neant
[Verse 2:]
Hand in hand on our journey we’re set for love
You and me against the world, we were never apart
So naive I could be, I thought our love would last
[Bridge:]
I won’t give it up.
Can’t you see I’m not strong enough
Don’t call my bluff
A sunny, sunny day
[Chorus:]
I’m doing it All for you
But you’re letting me down, you better turn around
I’m doing it All for you
a-a a-All for you
I’m doing it All for you
But you’re letting me down, you better turn around
When I am singing the blues for you
a-a a-All for you
[Mid 8:]
Come to me honey, help me understand
About your feelings, about your plans
Just one more chance to hear my prayer
[Chorus:]
I’m doing it All for you
But you’re letting me down, you better turn around
I’m doing it All for you
a-a a-All for you
I’m doing it All for you
But you’re letting me down, you better turn around
I’m doing it All for you
a-a a-All for you
[B-Hook:]
All for you
I would do the same tomorrow, All for you.
Without no regrets no sorrow

@5Porygon
Thank you Ace of Base for all your music that you made. You are one of my most favourite music interpretes.
@carlossantavilla2997
Jonas and Ulf made a great job by keeping the group alive. The original girls made history, but these ladies have the same esence when they sing together and sounds like a very solid Ace of Base song. Reinvention is good when you keep the vibe as much as intact as possible.

@Club54life
@BORIS Maybe Clara Hagman?
@elcin.recebli
I think you’re a bit late, this ‘reinvented’ line-up doesn’t exist for, like, 10 years ☺.
@naturewithus1047
Yeah we get it, I miss the sisters too, but thanks boys for keeping the music alive you two are and always have been the consistent backbone and heart of the band. Looking forward to any new material from AOB! You rock!
@rkashef1
They already broke up...
@jodalok7084
When Ace of Base is your life you are happy to see them again. With or without the original members. This album brought shine into my life again. 2009 was a terrible year to me. I really thought about suicide and wanted to die. When I heard they will comeback I was very happy again! :) Thank you Ace of Base. Julia and Clara! ❤🌷 I wont forget how did you help me!
