We couldn't have imagined that “christmas song” would end up as our biggest hit! ? #roxette #itmusthavebeenlove
♬ It Must Have Been Love (From the Film "Pretty Woman") - RoxetteOriginally titled “It Must Have Been Love (Christmas for the Broken-Hearted),” the song was reworked for the big screen when Hollywood came calling.
Rather than write something new, Gessle suggested revisiting their holiday tune waiting in the wings. The lyrics were adjusted, seasonal references removed, and the rest is sweeping ballad history.
“Before we knew it, the movie was huge,” Gessle says. “So, of course, this song was a big, big song for us.”
Pretty Woman, a modern take on the star-crossed lovers story, stars Gere as a wealthy executive who hires a sex worker, played by Roberts, to spend a week with him — only to fall for her. Roxette’s hit underscore the characters’ farewell, as say their goodbyes — and, ahem, settle their bill — both left alone before the grandeur storybook ending, of course.
