"Turn Back Time" is a song by Danish dance-pop group Aqua, released as their seventh single overall, and the sixth from their debut album, Aquarium (1997).

The song was also included on the soundtrack for the 1998 film Sliding Doors, starring Gwyneth Paltrow, and was released across the world throughout 1998, starting with the United States in January.

She added that the ballad is "relying less on Euro-pop cliches than their previous two singles, it shows that Aqua can write songs which move beyond the cartoon world of their stylists.

"[5] Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report felt that it "[was] time to take it downtempo, and this standout track from Aquarium contains all the elements necessary to quickly float to the top.

"Turn Back Time" entered the top 10 in Ireland and Sweden and was a top-20 hit in Austria, Belgium, Italy and the Netherlands, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where it peaked at number 12 in May 1998.

[11] Pop Rescue said "Turn Back Time" is the best song of their career, adding that "here, Lene shows off her vocal range beautifully, and it's great to hear her pitched against the soft beats, piano, and gentle synths without some randomly thrown in 'eye-pee-eye-ohs.

"[13] The accompanying music video for "Turn Back Time" contained footage from Sliding Doors, and was therefore a departure from the campy and humorous style by the group.
