The band toured extensively to support the record, performing to over 1.7 million people across four continents during the " Join the Joyride! Tour". " Joyride", " Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)", " The Big L.", " Spending My Time" and " Church of Your Heart" were released as singles. It remains one of the best-selling albums of all time in Argentina, Austria and Germany. The album was a critical and commercial success upon release, with a retrospective review for AllMusic calling it "the work of two pop artists at the top of their game." Joyride topped the charts in seven European countries, and was certified multi-platinum in several territories.
The duo experienced considerable pressure from their record label to deliver a successful follow-up album, and resisted pressure to relocate to Los Angeles and work with experienced American producers. The album was recorded over an 11-month period in Sweden. Joyride is the third studio album by Swedish pop duo Roxette, released on 28 March 1991 by EMI as the follow-up to their international breakthrough Look Sharp! (1988), as well as the non-album single " It Must Have Been Love", from the soundtrack to Pretty Woman (1990).
