The recording of the song was marked by a dispute between the band members but this apparently contributed to the strength of Marie's performance :-
"I was so mad when I did it. Everything about that session went wrong, we argued about the arrangement, we changed the key, I was dead tired of the song when I went in to do a guide vocal. Did it in one blast and suddenly realized, "hmm... this is it" —Marie Fredriksson, Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus! liner notes.
"Dressed for Success" peaked up at #14 on the American Billboard Chart. "Dressed for Success" was also a top 10 Australian hit in September 1989. The track entered the UK Singles Chart for the first time in July 1989 peaking at #48, but after the re-release soon after the success of "It Must Have Been Love" it peaked at #18 in November 1990. It reached the top five in Canada, Italy, Sweden, and Switzerland.
