The story behind the song

"ABC" is a playful and upbeat song that likens the simplicity of learning to love someone to the ease of learning the alphabet. It captures the youthful energy of The Jackson 5, who were known for their dynamic performances and were among the first African American performers to cross over into multiple genres. Released in 1970 as the title track to their second album, it showcases their signature Motown sound. Playing this song feels like a joyful declaration of young love, simple and pure.
