"Wheel of Fortune" is a song by Swedish pop group Ace of Base, released as their first single from the debut album, Happy Nation (1992).

"Wheel of Fortune" is a reggae flavoured dance-pop song written by bandmembers Jonas Berggren and Ulf Ekberg.

The song peaked at number-one in Norway, and was a top-10 hit in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain and Switzerland.

[3] Upon the release, Swedish Göteborgsposten described it as a "dance-song with some "Bad Boys" (Inner Circle) and Dr. Alban rhythms, but with more pop direction."

[4] Andrew Balkin from Kingston Informer noted that "the Aces go downbeat" on "Wheel of Fortune" and "Happy Nation", stating that both songs "have a soul/dance feel about them and wouldn't be out of place on the dance floor, or setting the mood in a smoky club.

"[6] In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton described it as "poppy dub-reggae",[7] while Pan-European magazine Music & Media described it as "oriental-tinged".

[8] Alan Jones from Music Week gave the single four out of five, writing that the group "return with another subdued reggae singalong that also suggests Opus's "Live is Life" hit.

"[9] Eric Torres from Pitchfork felt the band were "essentially nailing their formula on the first go: enthusiastic synth melodies, weaving percussive rhythms, and the Berggren sisters’ swooping voices.

"[10] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update deemed it "another Boney M-ish inane non sequiturs filled Swedish pop lurcher".

[16] Additionally, the song entered the top 10 also in Austria (6),[17] Belgium (5),[18] Germany (4),[19] Spain (6),[20] and Switzerland (5),[21] while it was a top-20 hit in Finland (15), Iceland (11) and Ireland (18).

The video was later made available on Ace of Base's official YouTube channel in 2010, and had generated more than 37 million views as of August 2023.
