“Dancing Queen” is one of Swedish group ABBA’s most loved songs and was released in 1976 on their fourth studio album “Arrival”. The track was written and produced by members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, with production credits also featuring ABBA’s manager Stig Anderson. “Dancing Queen” was inspired by artist George McCrae’s 1974 disco track “Rock Your Baby” and was originally titled “Boogaloo”. It was reported that when Andersson played the backing track of the song for the first time for bandmate Frida Lyngstad, she began to cry. Lyngstad had stated: “That was before me and Agnetha had even sung on it! I knew it was absolutely the best song ABBA had ever done”.
