"Glorious" is Andreas Johnson's song through and through, words and music, and the Swedish singer-songwriter released it on WEA in April 1999, taken from his second album, Liebling. It took its time crossing borders, landing in the top 10 in the UK and Italy in early 2000, and then television adopted it.

Sky Sports picked it to open Ford Super Sunday and Ford Football Special, its Premier League programs, running it from August 2000 until May 2001, and advertisers kept coming back to it: Vauxhall, Volvo and, in 2004, Nutella, whose campaign sent it back onto the French singles chart at 16.
