"Happy Nation US Version"  is the 3rd Album released from their first studio Album, released world-wide on September  25. 1993. This Album was created to include Ace of Base's 3 new songs released in the USA with very high success with the release of the  first single "All That She Wants" reaching #2 on the top charts followed by "The Sign" single reaching the #1 spot in the Hot 100's chart, then "Don't Turn Around" reaching #4 Spot and "Living In Danger" #20 on the charts. "Happy Nation US Version" was released with high sales expectations and to counterfeit US imports of "The Sign" Album to the rest of the world. The Album includes the song "Hear Me Calling and a Remix of "Happy Nation" that were not on the previous 2 album releases.  In various countries the American Album "The Sign" was released instead of "Happy Nation US Version" and only South Africa and Brazil released the exact tracklisting of "Happy Nation US Version" under the title "The Sign".
