The song of the same title by Roxette, as well as the music video shot in 1990, are quintessential to some of the things I love the most: the aesthetic of the 80s and 90s, strong women and power ballads. Roxette, in my opinion, perfected the genre of the power ballad. And the singer, Marie Fredriksson, even if I didn’t see her image as many times as I did other celebrities, stayed etched in my memory. Especially in one particular instant in the video for It Must Have Been Love, where she, with her strong shoulders and minimal white dress and cool hair, is hugging herself and tilting her face down as she gazes at the viewer and sings. For whatever reason, the combination of this gesture and her look in this one instant stuck in my memory as an embodiment of strength and confidence, while also showing that she feels small and lonely.
