So, in 1975, Bjoörn and Benny
wrote this beautiful solo song i
n Swedish for Frida,
which they released, and it becam
e a huge success.
Of course. You know.
So the guys thought, hmm,
why don't we release it in Engli
sh, but with ABBA?
And they did, and it became an e
ven bigger success.
Anyway, since we are a Swedish ba
nd,
I'm gonna sing the first part in
Swedish.
