The story behind the song

ABBA, one of the most successful pop groups in history, was formed in Stockholm in 1972. Composed of two married couples, their personal lives and relationship changes often found their way into their music. This song, appearing on a compilation released after the group disbanded, adds to their enduring legacy. It plays like an anthem of self-assuredness and belonging.
