Wikipedia article




"'Tro'" ('"Faith"') is an alternative rock song written by Swedish singer-songwriter Marie Fredriksson, released on 11 October 1996 by EMI as the first and only commercial single from her fifth studio album, 'I en tid som vr' (1996). The song is about belief, although the lyric does not reference religion. The track was featured as the theme music to Colin Nutley's film 'Snt r livet' , who also directed its music video.

The song peaked at number eight and spent 29 weeks on the Swedish Singles Chart, making it the longest-charting single of her entire career, including her work as part of Roxette. It also performed well on Swedish radio, peaking at number eight on the Swedish Airplay Chart and at number twelve on Sveriges Radio's "Tracks" chart. In a 2018 online poll of Roxette fans, "Tro" was dubbed the fifth best song of Fredriksson's entire solo discography.
