Today Agnetha Fältskog releases her brand new single “When You Really Loved Someone”. Written by UMP's Grammy-nominated songwriter/producer Jörgen Elofsson, this is the former ABBA member’s first original song in 25 years!

"I never thought I would sing again, but when I heard the first three songs I couldn't say no"

With these words, one of popular music’s most recognisable and celebrated names of the past 40 years – Agnetha Fältskog – signals her return to the spotlight. The siren songstress from ABBA is coming back with a new album “A”, due for release in May by Universal Music and preceded by a curtain-raising track, “When You Really Loved Someone,” which is available internationally as a single to buy from today, Monday March 11.

On her forthcoming album, Agnetha has been working with Jorgen Elofsson. “She wanted to make music again,” says Elofsson, “We could feel that. She had been thinking about it. Basically, she’s a musician, a songwriter/singer who hasn’t done that for a while. We saw her open up, become much happier, with music again in her life.”

Max Hole, chairman and CEO of Universal Music Group International: “You can imagine the excitement that all of us felt at the prospect of Agnetha making new music. So we were determined that she would choose Universal to bring that music to the world, and we are gratified that she did. This is a dream project for so many people inside our company and for Agnetha's fans around the globe.”

Welcome back Agnetha – you’ve been missed!
