AQUA - ROSES ARE RED

Overview: This was the first single that Aqua ever released with Universal Music. First available on 16/09/1996 (only in Denmark), it was an instant success and deserved several nominations for Aqua in the Danish Grammy Awards. Because of the excellent results of this single and the following My Oh My, Universal tried to promote Aqua in other countries. Promo vinyls were distributed around Europe and even in USA, becoming a club hit. In mid 1997, the single was re-released with a new cover in selected countries: Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway, Sweden and UK. It was even imported to Australia. In 1998, Roses Are Red was re-released again in Italy, and promoted in Canadian radios. In most releases, the Radio Edit length is mislabeled as being "3:43", instead of the correct "3:33".
