S.O.S. - ABBA - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Swedish pop powerhouses ABBA were at a turning point in 1976, with the release of their self-titled third studio album. It had been a couple of years since they had a worldwide hit to match the success of their breakout single “Waterloo,” and the question of whether they would be a one-hit-wonder weighed heavily on them. Luckily for the quartet, the album’s fifth single “SOS” – a plaintive song about romantic longing in the wake of a crumbling relationship – managed to resonate with audiences worldwide. The song was written by Benny Andersson, Stig Anderson, and Björn Ulvaeus. Like the rest of the album, it was produced by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson. “SOS” was a hit, returning the group to the charts after a few floundering singles, peaking at Number 6 on the UK Singles Chart and Number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It went on to be covered by many artists such as Cher, who released her version of the song as a single in 2018.
