I don’t know but in the paper sleeve for the single it says that the solo is by Per... OMG... Per can play tapping tecnics :DDDDDD
For those guitar addicteds (me included)... here’s what you get when you complain :) Per playing tapping :D

it don‘t kicks me enough but it‘s o.k. have to listen it more times. maybe the kick comes then.
Sanna said on January 31, 2003 12:12:
I like it but there are many better songs than this and I wish Marie’d sing more in it.. sorry just my opinion:)
Pikappa said on January 31, 2003 12:17:
i really like it....it really kicks a$$...that’s what i call POWERpop rox...it reminds me the energy of the joyride times. More Marie would be better but anyway don’t forget what are the circumstances...
Well done Per!
Pascal said on January 31, 2003 12:24:
It’s a very good song, but honestly said, I expected a bit more after hearing the 30 sec snippet.
Will it be a charttopper? Don’t know... maybe with a flashy video...

@tevensson: couldn’t have said it better! I *LOVE* this... I think they’ve perfected the style they started on “Have a Nice Day,” combining loops and synths with guitars for songs like “Crush On You” and “7Twenty7,” but then CRANKING those guitars and bringing back the solos as in the “C!B!B!” days. I’d say that this song offers the best compromise for those fans who prefer the older, “rockier” sound and those who love the newer sound that we’ve been hearing on “HaND” and “Room Service.” Gessle strikes yet again!
Katuska said on January 31, 2003 12:57:
I think, this song needs loads of promo and it must be a huuuuuuuuuuuge hit! Everything depends on the promotion!
I LOVE IT!!!
gyllene_tjej said on January 31, 2003 12:59:

RoxQC said on January 31, 2003 13:15:

Sascha said on January 31, 2003 14:01:
This is a *G*R*E*A*T* song!!!
Now I’m waiting for CD-quality... ;-)
tinytim said on January 31, 2003 15:02:
It will make reaaally well in the charts, no doubt...
But it’s too danceable...dunno...I expected something more rocky, than “beaty”, like that...
BUT ANYWAY I LOVED IT...OH THOSE GUITARS TICKLE MY EARS...
Rich-UK said on January 31, 2003 15:04:
Absolute quality... great guitars, bouncing beat, awesome 80s, perfect programming and er. PURE POP!! - I know already that this is one of Roxette’s best songs: GO GESSLE... and a perfect lead single for the pop hits - excellent stuff!
Agus said on January 31, 2003 15:33:
Great song! Absolutely Gessle-ish, don’t you think? Now let’s hope for the right promotion and for a good video.
I know those of you, guitar lovers, will have fun trying to find out the tabs for the guitar riffs at the end of the song... :D
sommartider said on January 31, 2003 15:36:
IT’S F*** GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
full of guitar, sample sounds and a chorus so agresive. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!
JoyRidErno said on January 31, 2003 15:44:
This is PERfect song to listen to while driving car!
Best uptempo song since SIMC!
Jackeill said on January 31, 2003 16:07:
i’ve jsut downloaded.... simply kicks ass :) who said it sounds like song from rs ?? it’s a twatg song with some electronics! whole new roxx album should sound this way......
LoneGunman said on January 31, 2003 16:13:
Yuhooo

Boy_on_the_moon said on January 31, 2003 16:14:
What a song! And no one can complain!!!! It’s pure pop, there are guitars and it’s a absolutely dance-song :-)))))))))))))))999
thomasc said on January 31, 2003 16:21:
Well I have to say I’m really pleased with it. When I first heard ATAY I wasn’t that impressed (at first) but after hearing ON for the first time I really think it’s fantastic!! Can’t wait to hear the other tracks on The Pop Hits.
Oh and for all those doubters who said Run To You would not be included - HA!!! I told you so!!!!!!
onlywhenidream said on January 31, 2003 16:25:
I think ON just shows what a completely wicked craftsman Per is. He can go from writing something like ATAY to ON. Pure genius!!
“I’m living in a box - I’m living in a carboard box”....ooops, sorry, wrong song!
he he
roxtexanet said on January 31, 2003 16:32:
@Boy: Believe me, people will complain... anything short of a re-release of “Sleeping In My Car” and people will complain. But not me (-: OpNox freaking ROX!
bunny said on January 31, 2003 16:42:
Awesome uptempo comeback from roxette, i wish there’s more marie in the song though
coyboyusa said on January 31, 2003 16:54:
ok let me say as an up front rock song it kicks major ass...dynamic bass line returns...rocking solos with a danceablitlity..but dammit per must their be such crappy verses betweeen the awesome chorus...i have an odd feeling one of the songs on the cd is gonna be like breathe....the single they never but should have relased...4 stars out of 5 from me....my brothers gonna kill me for putting it on his pc
QuaKeD said on January 31, 2003 19:02:
I can’t complain! :) It’s a little heavier that what im used to, but I really like it...
wendy said on January 31, 2003 20:37:
Dunno,i really dunno...Hate the chorus,......
Nopes,not my thing....i think.....maybe when i’ve heard it more.......
ted_roxette said on January 31, 2003 21:00:
ITS GREAT!!!! better than I excepted but Per is Per!
its a new Joyride a new HIT!!!!! love it
tjej said on January 31, 2003 21:21:
Definitely better than the last couple of singles. Great to skip Marie for once. She’s too muck “plingplingplong” for my taste. He has always been doing rockier stuff, which I like more... Question of personal taste I guess. Hope he continues in the same direction!
marre said on January 31, 2003 22:07:

Santi said on February 1, 2003 22:43:
OPPORTUNITY NOX sounds like if it was taken from KENT’s (a great Swedish band) last album called “VAPEN OCH AMMUNITION”. :p
