Slipping Through My Fingers - ABBA - MP3 instrumental karaoke

ABBA released "Slipping Through My Fingers" as part of their final studio album The Visitors on November 30, 1981, offering one of their most emotional tracks. Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the song reflects on the bittersweet experience of watching a child grow up too fast, inspired by Ulvaeus' real-life feelings about his daughter Linda. Although "Slipping Through My Fingers" was not widely promoted as a single outside of Japan—where it was issued in June 1981 on a red vinyl Coca-Cola promotional disc—it has earned lasting acclaim, especially after being featured in the 2008 movie adaptation of Mamma Mia!. With a soft pop arrangement built around Agnetha Fältskog’s tender vocals, the song captures the universal feeling of time slipping away. Even though it did not chart internationally upon release, "Slipping Through My Fingers" stands out as one of ABBA's most moving compositions, showing their strength in crafting music that speaks to real, intimate emotions.
