Tore admits that the new method of working gave him one or two near heart failures.

The song is featured in the romantic comedy Never Been Kissed and in the end credits of the thriller The Thirteenth Floor.

Both the drum and guitar parts were recorded in a "'70s-style dry room" [3] while the vocals were recorded in the attic of the studio. [5] Myopic record companies who can't see the value of long‑term artist development should stop to consider the career of The Cardigans. Now on their fourth album, the band are currently Sweden's biggest music‑industry export earner, and have proved beyond doubt that the only way for a record company to transform a local act into an international one is to give it time to evolve and develop. The Cardigans' current status also, however, owes a great deal to another long‑term relationship — with producer Tore Johansson, who has produced all of the band's records since discovering them five years ago. Angular guitars edge their way in cunningly, too, providing some of the album's finest moments - notably 'My Favourite Game' and 'Do You Believe', which is possibly a cynical response to 'Lovefool': "Do you really think that love is going to save the world?/Well I don't think so". Still, it's all too rare when real emotion, rather than canned sentiment, is allowed a look-in. Hence the tinny drums and saccharine vocals of 'Marvel Hill' and the faux-gospel Celine Dion schmaltz of 'Higher'.Peter Svensson and Magnus Sveningsson, both heavy metal musicians, formed the group on 31 October 1992 in Jönköping, Sweden, with drummer Bengt Lagerberg, keyboardist Lars-Olof Johansson and lead singer Nina Persson. [4] Persson did not want to be a musician growing up, having an interest in art instead, which resulted in her attending art school. "I never really strived to be a musician; I was just, sort of, recruited into this band. I was bored out of my mind in this small, safe place (Jönköping). I was like, 'Awesome, I get to hang with fun guys.'" [5] Sverigetopplistan > Sök Alla Listar > Årlistar (inkl samlingar) > Album > 1999 > Visa!". Sverigetopplistan (in Swedish) .
