“One Wish” – Roxette’s long-awaited new single
Written by tevensso on July 26, 2006 to Releases.
STOCKHOLM (UPDATED) - 
Roxette’s forthcoming single is titled “One Wish” and is described by Per as an uptempo song… and a duet. “It’s short, thank God!” The single is slated to be released September 20 in Sweden and September 22 in Germany, as previously reported. Per also confirms that the B-side is indeed “The Rox Medley.” The single has the catalog number 0946-3718902.
Per is probably the only one who thinks it’s great that the song is short…
Update: Per’s let us know that since people seem to be concerned with the length of the new song, “…it’s 2:59 or 3:01 – depending on the mood!”

Yes!! Can’t wait to hear it.
Because it’s Roxette - and ONLY because it’s Roxette - I’m going to overlook this cheesy title and assume the song kix ass... let’s hope radio promo begins soon!!
roxtexanet said on July 26, 2006 18:17:
Okay, so let’s start the countdown...
I say it leaks to the net by August 8th and will be released to radio on August 14th... anyone other bids?

I’m gonna bet that it’s already out on various download sites, all fake naturally.

they are coming back and with an uptempo track !!! this are the best news we had in a long long time!!!
:)))
We only have to wait a few weeks, and i’m sure we will find a crapy mp3 with the song recorded from a strange radio station and with a nice dj saying things on top of it that none of us undestand.
:)

Hmm I would have thought it was a ballad title - but then Per defied expectations with the title “Crash! Boom! Bang!” I can not wait ! Release a snippet soon please !!!!! Thanx for the info TDR - where would we be without you?

*lol* do you waited with this info till the 1st fan discovered the title on his own? ;-)

Perhaps you got that order from EMI/Gessle to keep the news as long as possible or it is just a big coincidence :-)
I’m really looking forward to this news single, the title sounds great.
I’m a little surprised that it’s not a ballad (you know at the end of the year there just ballads *g*), but I like it being a uptempo-song with both voices :-)

Maybe the short comment refers to squeezing the track onto the “Roxette Hits” cd. Just a thought.
Sascha said on July 26, 2006 18:36:
Woohoo, finally some news! :-D
As I read the title I thought: “Oh, a ballad! No surprise for a pre-christmas album.” But it’s up-tempo! And a duet!! Best possible combination. I only hope that it’s more melodic and a bit longer than ON with it’s 3:00. And a few remixes would be a nice upgrade for the single. Maybe they’ll release a ballad single in december...
*goes singing possible tunes: One wish – na nana na na. One wish – na nana na na...* :-) :-D ;-P

coyboyusa said on July 26, 2006 20:16:
ok i think i am dreaming, they havent had an uptempo duo in ages this is freaking fantastic but what is with you guys posting fake single sleeves ?
tevensso (moderator) said on July 26, 2006 20:23:
The sleeve is just for fun, awaiting the real one.
sunsue said on July 26, 2006 20:30:
ONE wish!!? I’ve still got several ;-)... But soundz amazing :-)!!!
...NOT only PER’s happy about a short single, also the radio stations will be: the shorter the better... So let’s hear it twice or a hundred billion times instead!
room-service said on July 26, 2006 20:36:
@Judith: That says everything ;-)
So everybody can praise me for getting this info today *g*
You insiders are so mean to us ;-) I’m wondering how long you would have kept this secret, if I haven’t accidentally found out something about it.
harriej said on July 26, 2006 21:06:
How short is the song exactly?
Hopefully longer then 30 seconds...
Otherwise the snippet is the whole song;)
pwbbounce (moderator) said on July 26, 2006 21:08:
Finally!!!!! Can’t wait to hear the song. Hope it’s not too short, minimum has gotta be 3 mins really. But that doesn’t matter!!! New Roxette Song!!!! YAY!!!!!!
I really really thought it was gonna be a ballad, I’m so happy it’s gonna be a up tempo song
m-cvk said on July 26, 2006 17:55:
Cool!! An uptempo song + duet....many fan’s prayers have been heard :-)
I guess the other song recorded is ’myth’... if I remember it correctly it was mentioned by Mr Gessle that it was going to be recorded for the new Greatest Hits album As Per once told this song has his lyrics and Marie’s music...must be a ballad than.
Can’t wait to hear the new songs!!
