Mamma Mia, here we go again!

Back in the 1970s, charts were dominated by a Swedish group who made palindromes cool. Now, almost 4 decades later, ABBA has announced that they are heading back into the studio!

The band is made up of Agnetha Fältskrog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstrad. The name “ABBA” was derived from the first letters of each of their names.

The foursome shot to fame in 1974 by winning the Eurovision Song Contest — giving Sweden its first victory in the global competition.

In an Instagram post, the group reveal that they have already recorded a new song called I Still Have Faith in You, as well as one other whose name has not yet been revealed.

“The decision to go ahead with the exciting ABBA avatar tour project had an unexpected consequence. We all four felt that, after some 35 years, it could be fun to join forces again and go into the recording studio. So we did. And it was like time had stood still and that we only had been away on a short holiday. An extremely joyful experience! We may have come of age, but the song is new. And it feels good.”

We think the band itself said it best: “Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!”
