The story behind the song

This song, originally titled "It's Better Now," is a track from ABBA's Voulez-Vous album, featuring Agnetha Fältskog on lead vocals. It comes from a period when the group, made up of two married couples, saw their personal relationships reflected in their music, often leading to more introspective lyrics. The song captures a feeling of renewal, like finding things are "as good as new" after a period of difficulty.
