The radio-friendly single " Life Is a Flower " was certified the most-played track on European radio for 1998 and sold more than 250, 000 copies in the UK, peaking at number 5 ; the colorful video of the same name was produced and directed by Andreas Neumann.
British label London Records had requested the band record the 1983 hit " Cruel Summer " by Bananarama and it was selected as the second European single.
Deciding that " Life Is a Flower " was " too European in nature ", Clive Davis pushed " Cruel Summer " as the lead-off single for the United States and it took Ace of Base back into the US Top 10 for the first time in four years, being certified gold.
The album was also renamed Cruel Summer and featured a different tracklist to the European release.
Davis persuaded a reluctant Linn to record a Billy Steinberg ballad " Everytime It Rains " and " Life Is a Flower " was re-recorded as " Whenever You're Near Me " and was the second single, but it could only peak at number 76.
" Travel to Romantis " and " Always Have, Always Will " were further hits in Europe while " Everytime It Rains " was issued as a single in the UK along with a re-packaged edition of Flowers released only in the UK.
