Abba fans rejoice! Another cover album is heading your way.

There’s no question that people just love hearing covers of Abba songs and come September they’ll get ten new covers of the Swedish pop group’s hits.

Actress and music icon Cher has confirmed that she will be releasing a new cover album inspired by her performance in the recently released film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Her new found inspiration means that music, Cher and Abba fans alike will be able to enjoy her new album titled Dancing Queen which includes hits like “Waterloo,” “Mamma Mia,” “Chiquitita” and “Fernando.”

Cher released a teaser video on Wednesday, a snippet of her version to the hit song “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” The complete track was released on Friday.

“I’ve always liked ABBA and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times,” she said in a statement to E! News. “After filming Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined but I’m so happy with how the music came out. I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”

Dancing Queen will include ten tracks and will drop on September 28. Check out the video below:
