Take a Chance on Me - ABBA - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Take a Chance on Me" is a track by Swedish pop band ABBA, released as part of their 1977 fifth studio album, ABBA: The Album, in January 1978. Like most of ABBA's catalog, it was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Originating from the latter's running rhythm, its catchy "tck-a-ch" beat morphed into the anthem of persistence and romantic ambition we know today. With Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad's dynamic vocals leading the charge, bolstered by Fältskog's solo bridges, the song exemplified ABBA's blend of vibrant energy and intricate vocal harmonies. The B-side, "I'm a Marionette," further highlighted their creative depth, tying into the mini-musical The Girl with the Golden Hair from their 1977 tour. Charting in the Top 10 in the UK and US, "Take a Chance on Me" not only solidified ABBA's global appeal but also inspired notable covers, including a 1992 rendition by Erasure.
