Line 25:
* [[Intercourse With You]]: While rare compared to the songs about love and general happiness that make up the majority of the band's oeuvre, there are some examples of this too, "Sleeping In My Car" probably being the most obvious.
* [[New Sound Album]]: "Have a Nice Day" veered into this territory, the uptempo songs in particular featuring a lot more electronic instrumentation than the fans were accustomed to.
* [[Non -Indicative Name]]: The title track of the album "Crash! Boom! Bang!" is a ballad. Not even one of Roxette's signature power ballads (see below), but an honest-to-goodness ballad, in 3/4 time and with violins.
* [[Power Ballad]]: A staple of the band's oeuvre. "Listen To Your Heart" is a pretty well known example. Per Gessle has explained that it was intended to be a homage to the [[Arena Rock|FM radio tunes]] that were big in America during the eighties.
* [[Throw It In]]: The introductory lyrics to "The Look" were guide lyrics - words just scribbled down just to have something to sing to the tune while working on it - Per couldn't come up with anything better and decided to roll with it, saying, "Everyone gets lucky sometimes."
