Oh my pretty pretty boy, I love you – like I never ever loved anyone before. Those words could sum up the soundtrack of a generation, a sweet echo of youthful innocence that M2M gifted to fans around the world.

If you’re part of Gen Y, this isn’t just nostalgia, it’s a warm invitation to rewind to those carefree days when pop was simple, heartfelt and utterly charming. Last year, something unexpected happened: M2M reunited after 22 years, sparking excitement among ’90s music lovers with news of a tour marking the 25th anniversary of their formation. They played their first comeback show in May at the Thunder Dome in Muang Thong Thani, and they’re coming back this November.

M2M is the brainchild of two Norwegian singers, Marit Larsen and Marion Raven, whose initials lent the duo their name. Their rise was swift, fuelled by distinctive voices and catchy melodies that felt fresh and effortless. Their debut single, ‘Don’t Say You Love Me’, dropped in 1999 and found its way into Pokémon: The First Movie – an unexpected yet perfect boost that propelled them beyond Norway’s borders.

The following year saw the release of Shades of Purple, a 14-track album that cemented their global appeal. Songs like ‘Mirror Mirror’, ‘The Day You Went Away’, ‘Pretty Boy’ and ‘Everything You Do’ became international hits, topping charts and soundtracking teenage bedrooms everywhere.

This isn’t a show that’ll fade into the background; it’s one you’ll remember long after the last note has played. Here’s what you need to know before the night starts.
