<… 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.

My Deja Vu
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
my deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
We'll get the magic back again
My deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
I want to see you dancing naked
But when I try to reach your fingers
You just vanish into air
I want to feel you with my senses
'Cause I'm almost sure the texture
Of your skin
is gonna tell me who you are
My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you
My deja vu
I want to hold you like I used to
I want to feel you in my blood
I wonder why I do confess this
To myself all the time
I know the time is working against us
But I'll long for you the rest of my whole life
Like a prisoner of hope
My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you
I have tried to get to know you
To get you off my mind
It feels like going back in time
And snap, I see your figure once again
My deja vu everything is up to you
If you do want me you know where to search
My deja vu you're my obsession
My deja vu it's always you
My deja vu you're my obsession
The Ace of Base song, My Deja Vu, is a love song that describes the singer’s obsession with a person from their past. The singer believes that they have experienced a deja vu, which has sparked their obsession with this person. The repetition of the phrase “my deja vu” creates a sense of nostalgia and longing. The singer addresses this person directly, saying that if they want to be with them, they know where to search. The singer wants to recapture the magic they once had and desires to see this person dancing naked, wanting to share an intimate connection with them.
However, the singer feels frustrated as they cannot seem to reach out to this person. Every time they try to touch, this person disappears into thin air, leaving the singer feeling disconnected and longing even more. The singer believes that the texture of this person’s skin will tell them who they are, emphasizing their deep obsession. They want to hold and feel this person like they used to, but they know that time is working against them. Despite this, the singer will always long for this person and feels like a prisoner of hope, hoping that they can be reunited once again.
