The Centre of the Heart

About The Centre of the Heart

"The Centre of the Heart" is a song by Swedish pop music duo Roxette, released on 19 March 2001 as the lead single from their seventh studio album, Room Service. An uptempo electropop song, it was written by Per Gessle and originally demoed in January 1998 during sessions for their previous album Have a Nice Day (1999), as it was also originally intended for that album before the song became an outtake. The song's music video was directed by longtime collaborator Jonas Åkerlund, and is the most expensive music video ever produced by Roxette. The track became one of the duo's biggest hits in their home country, spending four weeks on top of the Swedish Singles Chart. It also performed well in Spain, and charted moderately in several other European territories. The single was backed by an exclusive b-side, "Entering Your Heart", along with several remixes by StoneBridge. more »

What am I gonna do when I get a little excited,
A little in pain' tell me
What am I gonna say when I find the centre of my heart
Is a suburb to the brain'
