<… 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.

Come to Me
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Dance Music Playing)
You're looking through my face
Why don't you notice me
I'm hungry
People are passing by
Exchanging glances
Come in the nights to come
You are my date but you don't know it
Me and myself and i are going to get you
Sooner or later
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
I got a lot to give,
And i'm gonna give a lot my baby
I got a lot to give
I'm giving you my love
I'm giving you my love
Standing here all alone
Going through all our levels now
I'm changing the highest one
Commitments to follow
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
I'm a stranger in the night
Without you all alone
I'm dancing with myself
It's a long way yet to go
I'm longing for your touch
To hold you forever on
And on and on and on
Come come to me, come come to me
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
Come come to me, come come to me
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
Come to me, come to me
Come give me all your colours
I can see the shades of life
With you i'm feeling free
In Ace of Base's song "Come To Me," the singer is expressing their desire for someone they have been admiring from afar. However, despite being a stranger to the singer, there is an intense connection in the way they exchange glances, and the promise of something more to come "in the nights to come." The singer is determined to make this person theirs, even if they are unaware of their intentions. There is a longing for connection evident in the phrase "I'm a stranger in the night/Without you all alone," which highlights how the presence of this person would bring so much joy and light into the singer's life. Throughout the song, there is a sense of vulnerability as the singer shares their innermost feelings and the depths of their desire.
One theme running throughout the song is the use of colors as a metaphor for the different shades of life. The singer wants this person to come to them so they can see all the colors of life and feel free. The repetition of the phrase "Come give me all your colors" is a call for this person to let go and be open with the singer, so they can experience everything together. The singer is offering their love freely, saying "I'm giving you my love," and is willing to change and make commitments to be with this person.
In summary, "Come To Me" is a song about desire and connection, expressed through the metaphor of colors. The singer is longing for someone they have been admiring from afar and wants them to come to them so they can experience all the colors of life together and find freedom in their love.
