Always Have Always Will was a popular hit by Swedish pop band Ace of Base. Heavily inspired by the Motown sound of the mid 1960s, the intro samples the intro from the Supremes track "Where Did Our Love Go".

The song was released from the album Flowers in many parts of the world, but at different times.

The video to the song was directed by the band members themselves. It used footage from recording sessions, concerts and appearances of the band all across the world.
