A*TEENS CELEBRATE SWEDISH POP LEGACY WITH A MODERN TAKE ON ROXETTE’S ICONIC HIT “THE LOOK”

Following their globally celebrated comeback, A*Teens are back with their brand-new single “You Got The Look”, out today on June 5. The single follows the massive success of “Iconic”, the group’s first new music in over 22 years, which became one of the biggest pop comebacks of the year.

The gold-certified single ”Iconic” quickly climbed to #1 on Spotify, the Swedish Singles Chart, and the Swedish Radio Chart, marking A*Teens’ first #1 single in Sweden since “Mamma Mia” in 1999. “Iconic” has also seen major international success across several markets, including the US, the UK, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and South America.

– Not having released a new song in over 22 years and then receiving the incredible response that ‘Iconic’ has gotten so far feels both emotional and overwhelming. The fact that the song also became our first #1 in Sweden since ‘Mamma Mia’ truly makes it feel like things have come full circle, says A*Teens.

The group now follows up that success with “You Got The Look” — a modern take on Roxette’s global hit “The Look”. The original song became an international smash, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and topping charts in countries including Germany, Italy, Australia, Norway, Switzerland, and the Eurochart Hot 100. This year also marks Roxette’s 40th anniversary, and both Roxette and A*Teens have played important roles in the Swedish pop phenomenon with major international success, making it feel natural for A*Teens to put their own spin on one of Sweden’s most iconic pop songs.

– We are incredibly proud to release ‘You Got The Look’. Together with the producers, we truly feel we managed to make the song our own. Honestly, it feels surreal to have been given the opportunity to open Roxette’s treasure chest. ‘The Look’ is one of the greatest Swedish pop songs ever made. Being able to celebrate the Swedish pop legacy in this way is a huge honor for us, says A*Teens.

“You Got The Look” was written by Per Gessle, Hanna Hedman, Alicia Ericson, Kristoffer Fogelmark, and Albin Nedler, and produced by Alicia Ericson, Josef Vallander, Albin Nedler (Avicii, Selena Gomez, Martin Garrix, MØ, One Direction, DNCE, 5 Seconds of Summer, Foster The People), and Kristoffer Fogelmark (Harry Styles, Selena Gomez, Hailee Steinfeld, One Direction, Axwell Λ Ingrosso, Martin Garrix, Avicii).

Per Gessle of Roxette says:

– Time passes and pop music, just like everything else, evolves. I’m happy that A*Teens managed to create a modern and vibrant version of ‘The Look’ 38 years after it was born. Quite magical, really!

A*Teens were formed in 1998 and quickly became internationally recognized for their unique interpretations of ABBA’s timeless hits. The group topped charts not only in Sweden but also achieved major success in the US, South America, and Asia. They toured alongside artists including Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears.

Their debut album “The ABBA Generation” has sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and achieved gold or platinum certifications in over 22 countries. With hit singles such as “Upside Down”, “Halfway Around The World”, and “Can’t Help Falling In Love” from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch, the group has sold more than 6 million albums globally.

Following their celebrated reunion in 2024, A*Teens continued their comeback with live performances around the world throughout 2025, with concerts and tours in Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the UK, Spain, and Norway. During the same period, the group also released a new version of “Dancing Queen”, produced exclusively for Marvel’s blockbuster film Venom: The Last Dance.

Now, A*Teens continue building on their global comeback with new music and an upcoming summer tour.
