"Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave)" is a song by the Swedish pop duo Roxette, released as the second single from their third studio album, Joyride (1991).

Composition and style

According to Ultimate Guitar, the song is written in common time with a moderately fast tempo of 105 beats per minute. It is a piano-based rock ballad in the key of F which modulates a step up to G halfway through the song. The track follows a basic chord sequence of Am–Em–Am–C–G–Am–Em–D in each verse. The first two lines of each chorus have a progression of C–F–Am–G–C–F–G–C, with the second half of the chorus amending the sequence to a shortened C–F–Am–G–F–G. The bridge consists of three repetitions of Am–G–C–D followed by a progression of E–E7–Am–C–G–Am.[1] Roxette later recorded a Spanish version of the song for their 1996 compilation album Baladas en español.

Critical reception

Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote about the song: "In a Top 40 world starved for true Pop music, the arrival of a new release by these two Swedish melody makers deserves bells, whistles and every other type of fanfare imaginable. Choosing a favorite from among their dazzling catalog of hits is an impossible task, and once again Per and Marie top themselves with an outstanding example of what hit mass appeal music is all about."[2]

Commercial performance

Although not as successful as previous single "Joyride", the song was a top ten hit in numerous countries.[3] It remains the duo's highest-peaking single ever on the Irish Singles Chart, peaking at number four. "Listen to Your Heart", "It Must Have Been Love" and "Almost Unreal" all peaked at number five. On the UK Singles Chart, the song peaked at number 12. It charted highest in North America, peaking at number two in Canada and on the US Billboard Hot 100—where it was held off the top spot in both countries by Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You".[4]

Music video

The music video was shot mostly in the Gamla stan area of Stockholm, and features images of Stockholm City Hall.[5]
