The album was released on 21 October 1988, two years after their debut Pearls of Passion (1986). The album became an international hit, reaching #1 in the group's native Sweden and being certified 6x platinum. In the United States, the album reached #23 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum. It spawned the major hit singles "The Look" (U.S. #1), "Listen to Your Heart" (U.S. #1), "Dressed for Success" (U.S. #14), and "Dangerous" (U.S. #2). Because of the worldwide success of the album and its singles, Look Sharp! is considered as Roxette's breakthrough.

"The Look", "Chances", "Dressed for Success", "Listen to Your Heart" and "Dangerous" were released as singles.

I guess I should stop drinkin'
They're closin down the bar
I missed my bus to nowhere
So now I'm standin' in the dark
I think it might be tuesday
By now you're getting dressed for work
And I wish i could come home to you
I hope by now you've found someone to treat you just how you deserve
[Chorus]
And I sing I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give,
I don't wanna give you up
Well I don't wanna give you up
I swear to god I'm freezin'
But it's a July afternoon
I search the sky for reasons
But every painted cloud ive ever seen still makes me think of you
And the second hand seems restless
Cause its been movin' awful slow
And I'm all out of useful questions
And I've got no explanation why i ever let you go
[Chorus x2]
This cocaine makes me anxious
And all this liquor makes me sad
I don't sleep much in the evenings
So I spend my afternoons in bed
I wish you could forgive me
I wish that you would take me back
Cause by myself I'm broken
And you're the only thing I ever loved that really loved me back
So I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give,
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna give you up
And I sing I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give,
I don't wanna give you up
I don't wanna give you up
Well I don't wanna give you up
Well I don't wanna give you up
Well I don't wanna give you up
Well I don't wanna give you up
