Roxette je švédske pop rockové duo, ktoré tvorili Marie Fredriksson a Per Gessle. Obaja umelci boli v Švédsku známi už pred vznikom skupiny — Fredriksson ako sólová speváčka, Gessle ako skladateľ a hlavný spevák skupiny Gyllene Tider. Po celosvetovom prelomovom úspechu s albumom Look Sharp! (1988) dosiahli štyri hity na prvom mieste amerického rebríčka Billboard Hot 100, vrátane piesní The Look, Listen to Your Heart a It Must Have Been Love.
Album Joyride vyšiel v marci 1991 vo vydavateľstve EMI ako pokračovanie ich medzinárodného úspechu. Nahrávanie prebiehalo vo Švédsku počas 11 mesiacov, pričom duo čelilo značnému tlaku zo strany vydavateľstva. Album sa stal ich komerčne najúspešnejším počinom s viac ako 11 miliónmi predaných kópií na celom svete a upevnilo postavenie Roxette medzi najvýraznejšími predstaviteľmi populárnej hudby začiatku 90. rokov. Medzi hlavné single patria titulný singel Joyride, Fading Like a Flower (Every Time You Leave) a The Big L. Táto slávnostná reedícia obsahuje celkovo 50 skladieb na troch CD, vrátane demo verzií a alternatívnych mixov.
V čase vydania albumu tvorili duo Marie Fredriksson a Per Gessle.
