Mamma Mia - ABBA - MP3 instrumental karaoke

For groups with long and storied careers such as Swedish pop pioneers ABBA, it can be hard to pin down a single “definitive” song. Having produced a staggering amount of hit singles, one of the songs that rises to the top is the group’s 1975 single “Mamma Mia.” Curiously, this song was originally not meant to appear on an ABBA album, having been offered by the group Brotherhood of Man (who turned it down). The song was eventually used as the opening track on ABBA’s self-titled third album, but it was actually the final song from it to be released as a single. “Mamma Mia” was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Stig Anderson, and was produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. It takes its name from the popular Italian expression of surprise, and the song’s lyrics portray the rekindling of a relationship that had once ended. “Mamma Mia” hit Number 1 on the UK singles chart, and was an international success for the group.
