Aqua - Roses Are Red 1996
"Roses Are Red" is a song by Danish-Norwegian dance-pop group Aqua. It was released in September 1996 as their second single — their first under the name of Aqua, as their debut single had been released under the name of Joyspeed. The track would also later feature on Aqua's debut album, Aquarium (1997). The single reached number 1 in Denmark, number 2 in Norway and number 5 in Sweden. Unlike the subsequent singles from Aquarium, "Roses Are Red" did not achieve widespread distribution or airplay outside Scandinavia.
In 2025, it was announced that Aqua the Musical, featuring the group's music and story, will premiere in 2028 in Copenhagen at The Royal Opera House. On 18 May 2026, the group announced on social media that they were breaking up, this one being their third split.
"Roses Are Red" received a total of 70,1% yes votes! Previous Aqua polls: #28 "Turn Back Time".
