Spending My Time


"Spending My Time" by Roxette is a pop-rock ballad typically performed in the key of F major. Released in 1991 as part of their album "Joyride," the song was written by Per Gessle and performed by the Swedish duo Roxette, consisting of Marie Fredriksson and Per Gessle. Known for its heartfelt lyrics and emotive melody, "Spending My Time" explores themes of longing, heartbreak, and the passage of time. Interestingly, the song was originally intended to be a Christmas single, but its release was delayed until after the holiday season due to production issues. With its introspective tone and Fredriksson's powerful vocals, "Spending My Time" became one of Roxette's signature hits, earning critical acclaim and commercial success worldwide.
