"Don't Turn Around" is a popular song written by Albert Hammond and Diane Warren. It was originally recorded by Tina Turner as the B-side to the single "Typical Male" in 1986. Warren is said to have been disappointed that Turner's record company treated the song as a B-side and never included it on one of her albums. However it has since been included on the rarities disc of the 1994 compilation The Collected Recordings – Sixties to Nineties. As well as featuring in the Tina (musical) in 2018.

It has been covered by a number of artists, most notably Aswad in 1988, Ace of Base in 1994 and Milow in 2017. This song was also recorded by Soul Artist Luther Ingram and released in 1987 as a 45 on the Profile Label in the US.

In 1993, Swedish pop group Ace of Base recorded a minor key version of "Don't Turn Around" for their US debut album, The Sign. It was also included on the re-release of Happy Nation the same year.

Background and release

{{quote box|width=30%|align=left|quote=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.|source= —Jonas Berggren talking to Billboard about the song.[3]}}

Arista Records suggested that Ace of Base should make a cover of "Don't Turn Around" for their The Sign album. Band member Jonas Berggren hadn't heard the Aswad-version, but he liked what he heard and decided to record a cover with Ace of Base.

The song reached number four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the UK Singles Chart. The song was the third most popular song in the United States in the summer of 1994.[4] On the Eurochart Hot 100 "Don't Turn Around" entered at 27 on April 9 and it took almost three months to peak at 7.

"Don't Turn Around" peaked within the top ten in a total of 13 countries: Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. The song also was a top 20 hit in Belgium, France and Switzerland.

"Don't Turn Around" also contains a rap segment made by band member Ulf Ekberg.

Critical reception

Billboard wrote about the song: "Swedish pop phenomenon will, once again, blaze up the Hot 100 with its slick, lightweight reading of a tune popularized by Aswad. Thin but inoffensive vocals are laid over the kind of synth-smart pop/reggae arrangement that top 40 programmers regularly subscribe to."[5]Cash Box wrote: "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, a song made popular in reggae circles by Aswad. Will follow the likes of Big Mountain, etc., up the charts with its easy-listening, synth-flavored mix of reggae and lightweight dance. A no-brainer for radio programmers and a potential summertime smash. One has to wonder. "What's in the water over at Arista?!"[6]

The Gavin Report wrote: "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!"[7]

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 1 twice, first on June 4, followed by July 23. Both times it held on to the top spot for two weeks. Together with "The Sign", "Don't Turn Around" monopolised either the number 1 or 2 spot on Border Breakers for 36 weeks.[8]

Impact and legacy

Rolling Stone listed "Don't Turn Around" at number 16 in their "20 Biggest Songs of the Summer: The 1990s" list in July 2014.[9]

Several reviewers has noted that "Don't Turn Around" might have inspired Lady Gaga for her 2010 hit single "Alejandro". Lindsey Fortier from Billboard compared "Alejandro" to "Don't Turn Around" in her review of Gagas single.[10] And in 2014, when "Don't Turn Around" was ranked number 16 by Idolator in their ranking 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?"[11]

Music video

Ace of Base filmed a music video for the song directed by Matt Broadley, showing scenes of a couple leaving each other intertwined with scenes of the band on the beach and in a beach house. It was shot in Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida in December 1993.[12] Some parts of the video are in black-and-white, but the scenes with Ace of Base-members are in colours. The video begins with the group performing inside the beach house. Towards the end all four members walks along the shore. Broadley had previously directed the music videos for "All That She Wants" and "Happy Nation".
