THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL
“…I’ve played all my cards
& that’s
what
you’ve done too,
nothing more to say,
no more ace to play...”
ABBA consisted of 2 couples. By the end of the group, both had split. "The Winner Takes It All" features lyrics written by Bjorn Ulvaeus. His marriage to fellow bandmate Agnetha Faltskog was over and no doubt helped him pen such a powerful break-up song. The fact that his ex wife performed the dramatic lead vocal added to the song's impact. Benny Andersson composed the music and co-produced the track with Ulvaeus.
The song was included on ABBA's 1980 album 'Super Trouper' as well as being selected as its lead single. In Britain, South Africa and some European countries, the disc reached #1. It also topped the US Adult Contemporary Chart. The single made the Top 10 in America, Canada and Australia.
