ABBA Just Dropped A Brand New Single 43 Years In The Making

With the news of their reunion continuing to delight fans around the globe, Swedish pop legends ABBA have just shared a brand new, and also very old, track with the world.

Just A Notion was originally penned five decades ago, but unfortunately never made it on to any of the band's releases at the time. Now, it's been dug up once more, and reimagined by the group a full 43 years later - at least as far as the group can remember.

“Wikipedia says this track was recorded in September 1978, which sounds about right," band member Björn Ulvaeus explained. "That puts it in between ABBA the Album and Voulez-Vous, and it would have been included in the latter had we not decided against it."

He continued, "why did we decide against it? In hindsight, I don’t have a clue. It’s a good song with great vocals. I know that we played it to a publisher in France and a couple of other people we trusted and as far as I can remember they liked it very much. So it’s a mystery and will remain a mystery.”

Of the newly updated version, Ulveas added, "Benny [Andersson, fellow band member] has recorded a new backing track to which we’ve added drums and guitars, but all vocals are from the original 1978 tracks. In a way, it demonstrates what we plan to do with ABBA Voyage in 2022. There, we will have a live band playing, but all vocals will be from the old recordings.”
