"Joyride", written by Per Gessle, was the first single released from Swedish pop duo Roxette's 1991 album "Joyride", the follow-up to the group's highly successful "Look Sharp!". The single topped the charts across Europe, and in Australia, Canada and the United States, where it spent one week at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, their last to do so, in May 1991. In the UK, "Joyride" peaked at #4.

During the 1994 Stanley Cup playoffs this became the intro anthem to the Vancouver Canucks as they took the ice before each game.
