"Joyride," written by Per Gessle, was the first single released from Swedish pop duo Roxette's 1991 album Joyride, the follow-up to the group's highly successful Look Sharp!. The single "Joyride" topped the charts across Europe, in Canada and in Australia, but only reached number 4 in the United Kingdom. It spent a week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, in the May 11 1991 issue. The Roxette song Joyride is both about love, and about traffic.
