## Ace of Base version

"Don't Turn Around" Scandinavian CD single; artwork also used on other European releases with different title layouts Single by Ace of Base from the album Happy Nation (U.S. version) and The Sign B-side "Young and Proud" (EU) "Dancer in a Daydream" (NA) Released March 14, 1994 Recorded 1993 Studio Tuffs, Gothenburg, Sweden Genre Reggae fusion[22][23] synth-pop[24] Europop[24] Length 3:50 Label Arista (US and Japan) Mega (Europe) Songwriters Albert Hammond Diane Warren (rap segment by Ulf Ekberg) Producers Tommy Ekman Per Adebratt Ace of Base singles chronology "The Sign" (1993) "Don't Turn Around" (1994) "Living in Danger" (1994) Music video "Don't Turn Around" on YouTube

In 1993, Swedish pop group [Ace of Base](/source/Ace_of_Base) recorded a [minor-key](/source/Minor-key) version of "Don't Turn Around" for their US debut album, *[The Sign](/source/The_Sign_(Ace_of_Base_album))* (1993). The song, produced by [Tommy Ekman](/source/Style_(Swedish_band)) and Per Adebratt, was the follow-up to the group's successful single, "[The Sign](/source/The_Sign_(song))", and was also included on the re-release of *[Happy Nation](/source/Happy_Nation)* the same year. Their version was released in March 1994 by [Arista](/source/Arista_Records) and [Mega Records](/source/Edel-Mega_Records), reaching number one in Canada, number four in the US and number five in the UK. It was the third most popular song in the United States in the summer of 1994.[25] Its accompanying music video, directed by [Matt Broadley](/source/Matt_Broadley) and filmed in [Florida](/source/Florida), received [heavy rotation](/source/Rotation_(music)) on music television channels in both Europe and the US. "Don't Turn Around" was nominated in the category for Best Cover at the [1994 MTV Europe Music Awards](/source/1994_MTV_Europe_Music_Awards).

### Background and recording

I thought it was too much in major. We thought, 'If [Arista] really wants us to do it, why not?' The lyrics were good. We thought if we can transform it a bit into minor, in the chorus and so on, it could be OK.

— [Jonas Berggren](/source/Jonas_Berggren) talking to *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* about the song.[26]

After the huge success of the band's European debut album, *[Happy Nation](/source/Happy_Nation)*, American label [Arista](/source/Arista_Records) wanted to release it with some new tracks for the US market. They suggested that Ace of Base should make a cover on British [reggae](/source/Reggae) [group](/source/Band_(music)) [Aswad](/source/Aswad)'s 1988 version of "Don't Turn Around". It was recorded and produced at Tuff Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden by [Tommy Ekman](/source/Style_(Swedish_band)) and Per Adebratt.

This version by the band would also contain a rap segment made and written by band member [Ulf Ekberg](/source/Ulf_Ekberg).

### Critical reception

[AllMusic](/source/AllMusic) editor [Stephen Thomas Erlewine](/source/Stephen_Thomas_Erlewine) stated that with singles like "[All That She Wants](/source/All_That_She_Wants)", "[The Sign](/source/The_Sign_(song))", and "Don't Turn Around", "it's easy to see why they were hits – the beat is relentless and the [hooks](/source/Hooks_(music)) are incessantly catchy."[27] In a retrospective review, [Annie Zaleski](/source/Annie_Zaleski) from *[The A.V. Club](/source/The_A.V._Club)* felt that Ace of Base gave the song "a brisk, breezy vibe that verges on tropical".[28] [Larry Flick](/source/Larry_Flick) from *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* magazine wrote that the Swedish pop phenomenon "will, once again, blaze up the [Hot 100](/source/Hot_100) with its slick, lightweight reading of a tune popularized by [Aswad](/source/Aswad)." He added that here, "thin but inoffensive vocals are laid over the kind of synth-smart [pop/reggae](/source/Pop_reggae) arrangement that [top 40](/source/Top_40_radio) programmers regularly subscribe to."[22] Troy J. Augusto from *[Cash Box](/source/Cashbox_(magazine))* commented, "Can these Swedish hitmakers make it three-for-three? You can bet on it, with the release of the next single from the quartet's smash *[The Sign](/source/The_Sign_(Ace_of_Base_album))*, a song made popular in reggae circles by Aswad. Will follow the likes of [Big Mountain](/source/Big_Mountain_(band)), etc., up the charts with its easy-listening, synth-flavored mix of reggae and lightweight dance." He also deemed it a "potential summertime smash", adding, "One has to wonder. "What's in the water over at [Arista](/source/Arista_Records)?!"".[29] [David Browne](/source/David_Browne_(journalist)) from *[Entertainment Weekly](/source/Entertainment_Weekly)* remarked that "the jauntily forlorn" song is "preeminent [Europop](/source/Europop), all brassy hooks, rushing beats, and exuberant singing that brings to mind Swedish cheerleaders in an [ABBA](/source/ABBA) cabaret."[30]

Dave Sholin from the *[Gavin Report](/source/Gavin_Report)* noted that "for their third time at the plate this sensational pop foursome is about take a trip around the bases with what is another surefire home run!"[31] In his weekly UK chart commentary, [James Masterton](/source/James_Masterton) wrote, "Ace of Base's version borrows from the Aswad arrangement but transform it still further from being the simple pop song it was originally into a mournful [ballad](/source/Ballad), dark and mysterious. Whether it is as big as past hits is open to question but it gets my vote for simply daring to reinterpret the track so drastically. Are you listening Big Mountain?"[32] Ian Gittins from *[Melody Maker](/source/Melody_Maker)* said, "Ace of Base half-want to be slick, [Culture Beat](/source/Culture_Beat)-style Eurocheese, half-want to be Abba, and find a surprisingly pleasing halfway house."[33] Mario Tarradell from *[Miami Herald](/source/Miami_Herald)* described it as "innocuous".[34] Alan Jones from *[Music Week](/source/Music_Week)* gave it a score of four out of five, adding, "The Aswad chart-topper is stripped of much of its melody, and given a heavily percussive workover in order to fit the Ace of Base mould. Fans of their sound will heartily approve, and another Top 10 hit seems inevitable."[35] *The Network Forty* praised the song as "another bonafide smash" and "pure pop".[36] Bob Waliszewski of *[Plugged In (publication)](/source/Plugged_In_(publication))* found that "Don't Turn Around" and "The Sign" "demonstrate strength in the wake of romantic rejection."[37] [*The Rolling Stone Album Guide*](/source/The_Rolling_Stone_Album_Guide#Fourth_edition_(2004)) described it as "a funky [Diane Warren](/source/Diane_Warren) song".[38] Chuck Campbell from [Scripps Howard News Service](/source/Scripps_Howard_News_Service) called it a "reggae-paced" number.[23]

### Chart performance

"Don't Turn Around" was a huge hit around the world and remains one of Ace of Base's more successful songs. It reached number one on the *[RPM](/source/RPM_(magazine))* Top Singles chart in Canada, and both the US *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* [Adult Contemporary](/source/Adult_Contemporary_(chart)) chart and the [*Cash Box* Top 100](/source/Cash_Box_Top_100_Pop_Singles). In Europe, it made it to the top ten in Austria (8), Denmark (4), Finland (3), Germany (6), Iceland (10), Ireland (8), the Netherlands (7), Scotland (8), and the UK, as well as on the [Eurochart Hot 100](/source/Eurochart_Hot_100), where it peaked at number seven in April 1994, in its 13th week on the chart.[39] In the UK, "Don't Turn Around" reached number five in its third week at the [UK Singles Chart](/source/UK_Singles_Chart), on June 19, 1994.[40] Additionally, it was a top 20 hit in Belgium (13), France (17), Sweden (11), and Switzerland (14). Outside Europe, the single also peaked at number two on the *RPM* Dance/Urban chart, number three in Israel, number four on the US *Billboard* [Hot 100](/source/Hot_100), number eight in New Zealand and number 19 in Australia.

### Airplay

"Don't Turn Around" entered the European airplay chart Border Breakers at number 20 on April 2, 1994, due to crossover airplay in Central Europe and peaked at number one twice, first on June 4, followed by July 23.

Together with "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around" monopolised either the number one or two spot on Border Breakers for 36 weeks.[41] On the European Adult Contemporary Radio chart, it peaked at number 10 in May 1994.[42]

### Impact and legacy

"Don't Turn Around" received a nomination in the category for Best Cover at the [1994 MTV Europe Music Awards](/source/1994_MTV_Europe_Music_Awards) in Germany, but lost to [Gun](/source/Gun_(band))'s cover of "[Word Up!](/source/Word_Up!_(song)#Gun_version)".[43]

In 2014, *[Rolling Stone](/source/Rolling_Stone)* ranked it number 16 in their "20 Biggest Songs of the Summer: The 1990s" list.[44]

Several reviewers have noted that "Don't Turn Around" might have inspired [Lady Gaga](/source/Lady_Gaga) for her 2010 hit single "[Alejandro](/source/Alejandro_(song))". Lindsey Fortier from *[Billboard](/source/Billboard_(magazine))* magazine compared "Alejandro" to "Don't Turn Around" in her review of Gaga's single.[45] In 2014, when "Don't Turn Around" was ranked number 16 by [Idolator](/source/Idolator_(website)) in their list of "The 50 Best Pop Singles of 1994", they wrote: "From its spoken-word intro to its insanely catchy pan flute hook, the song encapsulates everything perfect about pop of that era. I can't be the only one who thinks Lady Gaga was inspired by this immortal classic for her own single, "Alejandro," can I?"[46]

In 2019, *Billboard* magazine ranked it at number 168 in their list of "*Billboard*'s Top Songs of the '90s".[47]

In 2021, [BuzzFeed](/source/BuzzFeed) ranked the song number 22 in their list of "The 50 Best '90s Songs of Summer".[48]

### Music video

Ace of Base filmed a music video for the song, directed by Swedish-based director [Matt Broadley](/source/Matt_Broadley), showing scenes of a couple leaving each other intertwined with exterior scenes of the band on the beach and interior scenes filmed in a house in [Coconut Grove](/source/Coconut_Grove) in Miami, Florida, in December 1993.[49] The lighthouse in the video is located in Bill Bags Cape Florida State Park on [Key Biscayne](/source/Key_Biscayne), one of Miami's barrier islands. Some parts of the video are in black-and-white, but the scenes with Ace of Base members are in sepia color. The video begins with the group performing inside a sun-soaked red great room in a 1910 era mansion in Coconut Grove. The outdoor scenes were filmed on a beach in key biscayne. The brunette also descends a staircase in the house, that is not on the beach, it is in coconut Grove, and toward the end, all four members walk along the shore. It received [heavy rotation](/source/Rotation_(music)) on [MTV Europe](/source/MTV_Europe) and was A-listed on German music television channel [VIVA](/source/VIVA_(German_TV_channel)) in May 1994.[50][51] Three months later, it was A-listed also on France's [MCM](/source/MCM_(TV_channel)).[52] Broadley had previously directed the videos for "[All That She Wants](/source/All_That_She_Wants)" and "[Happy Nation](/source/Happy_Nation_(song))". "Don't Turn Around" had generated more than 48 million views on [YouTube](/source/YouTube) in December 2025.
