Ace of Base - All That She Wants (Extended Remix)from the album 'Happy Nation' and 'The Sign' (1992)

"All That She Wants" is a song by Swedish group Ace of Base. It was released in Scandinavia in August 1992 by Mega Records as the second single from the group's first studio album, Happy Nation (1992), and in the following year, it was released as the first single from the 1993 album The Sign in North America. Produced by Denniz Pop with group members Jonas Berggren and Ulf Ekberg, the drum beat was inspired by the Kayo song "Another Mother". Berggren and Ekberg also wrote the lyrics. "All That She Wants" is a reggae-pop song that describes a sexually promiscuous woman, with the word "baby" being synonymous with "boyfriend". The song was first recorded in 1991, but went through many revisions before it was officially released. The song was a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in many countries, including Denmark, Germany, the UK and Australia. It spent 13 weeks at the top of the Danish singles chart. The single was certified platinum in the United States, where it peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and was one of the best-selling singles of that year. Following its release on 31 August 1992, "All That She Wants" quickly climbed to number one on the Danish chart while "Wheel of Fortune" was still sitting at number two. The song became a commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in at least thirteen countries worldwide. It was certified platinum in the United States, after peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Keen to rush out an album for the Christmas market, Mega Records pressed the band for an album and it was hastily recorded, mixed, and released within a few weeks. Denniz Pop would go on to co-produce all officially released versions of the song that were available at the time, notably a more uptempo version of the song, dubbed the "Madness Version". This version features entirely different vocals and more spoken-word sections. Ace of Base would later collaborate with Denniz Pop on "The Sign" and multiple tracks on the band's sophomore release, The Bridge. In 2014, the original demo version of the song was released as a bonus track called "Mister Ace (Demo 1991)" on the remastered version of the album The Sign. "All That She Wants" reached the number-one position in thirteen countries: Australia (3 weeks), Austria (6 weeks), Belgium (2 weeks), Canada (2 weeks), Denmark (13 weeks), Germany (8 weeks), Greece (10 weeks), Iceland, Israel, Italy (9 weeks), Spain (2 weeks), Switzerland (2 weeks), and the United Kingdom. In the latter, it peaked in its third week at the UK Singles Chart, on 16 May 1993. It spent three weeks at the top position on the chart after debuting as number five. The song peaked at top three positions in most other places where it was released. "All That She Wants" peaked at number two on the Eurochart Hot 100 in June, being held off the top position by Snow's "Informer". The song was a very successful radio hit in the United States, peaking at number one on the US Billboard Top 40 Mainstream chart. On the Billboard Hot 100 and Cash Box Top 100, it peaked at number two and three, behind Janet Jackson and Meat Loaf. On the Canadian RPM Dance/Urban chart, it peaked at number one for 4 weeks.
