Opening the show is the electronic The Visitors. It’s the title track from ABBA’s final album from 1982. It was also their final single.
When the song was first released, the song’s meaning wasn't revealed. Since then, they have acknowledged the opening ABBA Voyage song was a protest about the Soviet Union.
You’d be forgiven if you weren’t familiar with Hole In Your Soul. The rock ’n’ roll number appeared on their 1977 ABBA: The Album record. It’s based on the song Get On The Carousel from their mim-musical The Girl with the Golden Hair.
When ABBA made their first trip across the pond, they performed SOS on American Bandstand and Saturday Night Live. The SOS worked as it seemed to save the band from fading into obscurity. It was their first international hit since Waterloo and is still celebrated today.
One of ABBA’s first break-up songs, Knowing Me, Knowing You is a heartbreaking ballad that explores the end of a relationship. It predates the eventual divorce of the band’s couples, but it probably should have been a sign of things to come.
The first song from the Voulez-Vous album - the Latin-infused Chiquitita - is about love, support and encouragement. The title means “little girl” in Spanish, and it tells of a friend asking their friend to trust in them to help. Like many of the ABBA Voyage songs, it’s the perfect sing-a-long number. And for younger audiences, you may even recognise a TikTok trending sound at the end.
Originally written as a solo single for bandmate Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Fernando was rerecorded by the band for their 1976 compilation album Greatest Hits. It’s the only ABBA single to have sold more than 10 million physical copies.
The hit song is possibly ABBA's most famous. It inspired ABBA’s long-standing West End musical, Mamma Mia! and the immersive dining experience Mamma Mia! The Party.
Featuring an on-again, off-again relationship, the exasperated tune about an unfaithful partner hit the number one slot in five countries worldwide. Now, it’s a party song and karaoke favourite. It’s one of the ABBA Voyage songs that’ll get you out of your seat.
The first male-led tune from the ABBA Voyage songs, Does Your Mother Know? is beloved the world over thanks to its rocking instruments coupled with the soft lyrics and vocals. Are you going to dance with them, honey?
ABBA’s longest-ever recorded song. Eagle has a sultry, seductive tune that was sadly not a commercial success.
The upbeat song was never meant to be a single. But after a remixed version became a hit nightclub tune, the band released it in 1981. The electro-disco number features a vocoder and a harmoniser device, proving ABBA has always been ahead on the technical front.
A tribute to their home Stockholm, Summer Night City features vocals from all band members. Agnetha Fältskog initially felt the song didn’t fit the ABBA sound. The others thought it was a lousy song. However, the crowd loved it, and it was another hit for the band.
The disco tune is filled with irresistible beats and heart-wrenching lyrics. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! tells of a woman who believes her loneliness is darkness and that a romantic relationship will bring her back into the light. It was a top 10 hit globally, with many countries seeing it reach number one.
Continuing their propensity to feature other languages in their song titles is Voulez-Vous. It’s a hypnotic, up-tempo disco anthem. When you hear it, you can’t help but shimmy and shake, making it the perfect dance floor hit.
Like many ABBA songs, When All Is Said And Done deals with the complexities of romantic relationships and choosing to split. It was one of the band’s final singles.
One of the ABBA Voyage songs written specifically for the Voyage album and show, Don’t Shut Me Down was released in 2021. It was the first album to be released by the band in 40 years. Critics commented on the song’s West End feel, making it the perfect addition to the concert.
Released as a dual single with Don’t Shut Me Down, I Still Have Faith In You is an ode to the band’s friendship. The second of the ABBA Voyage songs written for a contemporary audience, the music video served as the first glimpse at the ABBAtars, and it was watched 4.4 million times in the first 24 hours.
The song that started it all. Waterloo was ABBA’s 1974 Eurovision Song Contest entry. It won the competition and rocketed them to international success. The catchy pop song hit number one in the UK and eight other countries.
Despite the affection held for the melancholic song, it wasn’t an instant hit. After a lukewarm release in 1978 and a subsequent release in 1983, many view it as a farewell song from the band.
Is it even a party if Dancing Queen isn’t played? The disco hit became ABBA’s and New Year’s Eve’s signature song. The celebration of freedom, individuality and letting loose, it’s a favourite among fans and their most enduring song.
The last of the ABBA Voyage songs is the powerful, vulnerable and heartfelt The Winner Takes It All. The dramatic number was the band’s fifth biggest hit. The perfect goodbye, the song deals with the final farewell to a lover after a break-up.
