Description
1994 Dutch pressed cd single
Fireworks was the third single to be released from Roxette’s fifth studio album, Crash! Boom! Bang!. The song achieved moderate success in various European countries, peaking within the top 20 in Austria and Finland and reaching number 30 on the UK Singles Chart. The song was the only internationally released single by Roxette to be omitted from their career retrospective The Rox Box, which included every other single released by the duo up to 2006, and it has never appeared on any of the duo’s compilation albums—excluding the Jesus Jones remix of the song included on Rarities (1996). In an interview with The Daily Roxette in 2009, Per Gessle was asked why the song was ignored on compilations, saying: I guess it just wasn’t big enough. There are so many other tracks that kick its ass. And on The Rox Box, we decided to use demos and other uplifting stuff instead.
