Ace Of Base – All That She Wants

“All That She Wants” is a song by Swedish group Ace of Base. It was released in Scandinavia in 1992 as the second single from their first studio album, Happy Nation (1992), and in the following year, it was released as the first single from the 1993 album The Sign in North America.

A music video directed by Swedish director Matt Broadley was produced in November 1992[61] to promote the single. Danish actress and singer-songwriter Christiane Bjørg Nielsen [da] appears in the video as the title character. The video was filmed in Nielsen’s apartment in Copenhagen in one day, on a budget of $2000.

The video, shot in sepia tone, depicts the band members performing in a cramped apartment, interlaced with shots of a woman getting ready to go out. She goes to a bar where she meets a man. They talk and then she takes him home to her. Though Jenny has no vocals in the song, she lip syncs the vocals during the chorus. Ekberg noted, “The video is also an explanation for the song, because in the song you don’t know if she found a guy or not, but [the video shows] a happy ending.”

Ekberg later said that MTV pushed the “All That She Wants” as they “loved the video because it was so clean.”

The song was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in many countries, including Denmark, Germany, the UK and Australia. The single was certified platinum in the United States, where it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the best-selling singles of that year

Lyrics
She leads a lonely life
She leads a lonely life
When she woke up late in the morning light
And the day had just begun
She opened up her eyes and thought
Oh, what a morning
It’s not a day for work
It’s a day for catching sun
Just laying on the beach and having fun
She’s going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
So if you are in sight and the day is right
She’s a hunter, you’re the fox
The gentle voice that talks to you
Won’t talk forever
It is a night for passion
But the morning means goodbye
Beware of what is flashing in her eyes
She’s going to get you
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants is another baby
She’s gone tomorrow, boy
All that she wants is another baby
All that she wants
All that she wants
