<… 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.

One Day
Ace of Base Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not easy but we made it (in)to an art.
Joy until the morning do us apart
Without love, without names
[Chorus]
One day, one day of my time
That's what it takes for you to love me
And again and again that melody
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
One day, one day of my time.
All forgotten with the break of dawn
But our story lingers on
I'm leaving with my passion full withdrawn
With your essence already gone
[Chorus]
Maybe cos I'm a gambler.
Tired of this Bodegas
Some say I'm a rambler
Searching for my Vegas (searching for my Vegas)
One day is all I need (is all I need)
[Chorus x2]
The lyrics of Ace of Base's song One Day convey an emotional and introspective narrative of a sinner with a broken heart. The singer acknowledges the difficulties of their past and how they have transformed them into an art form. The first verse is a reflection of their joyous experience with love, where they hope for a lifelong commitment until "morning do us apart." However, things take a downhill turn, and the second verse talks about the morning after, where everything seems forgotten, and the passion that once existed is withdrawn.
The lyrics in the chorus suggest that the singer is willing to give their all to attain love, but it would only take one day to earn it. This repeated line emphasizes the importance they place on love, and the inspiration drives them to continue the melody repetitively. However, the lyrics also suggest that some parts of the singer's life will always remain inaccessible to others, "you're never gonna reach that part of me, oh."
In the third verse, the singer reveals that they have developed an addiction to gambling, and they are over it. They desire to break this toxic cycle and find a place where they belong. In conclusion, the lyrics of One Day communicate a desperate desire for love, as well as an internal conflict between the desire for love and the pain of losing it.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm a sinner with a broken heart
I have committed wrongs and my heart is shattered
It's not easy but we made it (in)to an art.
Although it's challenging, we've turned it into a skill
Joy until the morning do us apart
We experience happiness until morning separates us
Without love, without names
We are without love and anonymous
All forgotten with the break of dawn
Everything is abandoned when the sun rises
But our story lingers on
However, our narrative persists
I'm leaving with my passion full withdrawn
I depart with my emotions profoundly retracted
With your essence already gone
While your spirit has already departed
Maybe cos I'm a gambler.
Perhaps because I'm a risk-taker
Tired of this Bodegas
I am weary of these mediocre experiences
Some say I'm a rambler
Some believe I'm a wanderer
Searching for my Vegas (searching for my Vegas)
Looking for my ideal destination
One day is all I need (is all I need)
I only require a single day
One day, one day of my time
One day, a portion of my precious time
That's what it takes for you to love me
That's the necessary amount of time for you to develop feelings for me
And again and again that melody
Repeatedly hearing the same tune
You're never gonna reach that part of me, oh
You will never access that part of my being
One day, one day of my time.
One day, a fraction of my time
One day, one day of my time
One day, a segment of my time
