"Unspeakable" is a single from Ace of Base's 2002 album Da Capo.

Chart performance

The single peaked at number 3 in Israel, 14 in Finland, 45 in Sweden and 97 in Germany.

Music video

A music video was produced to promote the single. The video was directed by Daniel Borjesson. This was the last Ace of Base video to receive participation from Malin.

The video features a taxi driver driving a Citroën DS cab through Stockholm during a night shift, listening to the song on his car's radio.[1] The band members are then projected on several buildings throughout the city. The driver ends up picking up two passengers, but doesn't realize they are Ulf and Jenny, who start singing along during the ride. Eventually, the taxi driver arrives back home at the morning light, then turns on the TV, where the music video is playing, finally showing the driver. As the song ends, the driver has passed out on the couch.
