"It Must Have Been Love" is a song written by Per Gessle and performed by the Swedish pop duo Roxette. The ballad became the duo's third #1 hit in the United States, and is one of their best selling releases, certified gold in a number of countries.
The song was included on the soundtrack to the film Pretty Woman. In 2005 Per Gessle received an award from BMI after the song's four millionth radio play.
"It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken Hearted)", the song's original title, was first released in 1987 after EMI Germany asked Roxette to come up with an intelligent Christmas single. It went on to become a Top 10 hit in Sweden, but EMI Germany decided not to release the track.
This version of the song was not part of a Roxette album until the 1997 re-release of Pearls of Passion, where it was included as a bonus track. The B-side to "Christmas for the Broken Hearted", "Turn to Me", also featured as a bonus track.
Your foul I'll be Do all you ask of me And if you should make me wait I'll try to be patient
