"Life Is a Flower" is a song by Ace of Base, released as their first single from their 1998 album Flowers. The song was released in the US with different lyrics, titled "Whenever You're Near Me", and in a different key. It peaked at number 1 in Hungary and within top 10 in Denmark, Finland, Italy, Scotland, Spain, Sweden and the UK. "Life Is a Flower" was certified silver in the UK by the BPI.[2]

Music video

Two music videos of "Life Is a Flower" were shot. The first one was not finished and has never been released. It was rejected by the record label, although they had invested a lot of money in it. Scenography didn't fit to the happy message of the song and it was found too dark and heavy. The second music video was officially released and is much more colourful and funny. Part of the storyboard was created by Jenny Berggren herself. Ace of Base also brought some elements of scenography on their own, like a washing machine.
