One Of Us (ABBA Song)
"One of Us" is a song by Swedish pop group ABBA. It was released in December 1981 as the lead single from the band's eighth studio album, '' The Visitors'' (1981). Background and release "One of Us"—which had the working titles "Number 1" and "Mio Amore"—was one of the last songs recorded for ABBA's 1981 album '' The Visitors'', and features a lead vocal by Agnetha Fältskog. It was one of a number of tracks that explored the darker territory of Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's songwriting, as the two men's divorces were beginning to influence their musical output. The message of the song is about a woman trying to revive a relationship she had ended.

Ulvaeus had favored releasing it as the first single from the new album, and the majority of the record comp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
