Pearls of Passion was Roxette's first album, released on October 31, 1986. It was rereleased on CD on October 31, 1997 with some previously unreleased or single-only bonus tracks.

Neverending Love, Goodbye To You, Soul Deep and I Call Your Name were released as singles. It Must Have Been Love was later used (with the reference to Christmas changed to a neutral winter reference (It’s a hard Christmas Day was replaced with It’s a hard winter’s day)) in the movie Pretty Woman. Soul Deep reappeared on their album Joyride in 1991 and So Far Away was recorded again for Tourism in 1992.

The album was followed by a compilation of re-mixes of those same songs, titled Dance Passion.
