"Take a Chance on Me" is another of the worthwhile songs by Swedish band ABBA. The song was released in January 1978 as the second single from the group's fifth studio album titled "ABBA: The Album." Its working title was "Billy Boy," while it was written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulveaus. The song's seemingly somewhat cold intro is sung by Agatha Faltskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad. The song also features a steadily increasing tempo.
The B-side of the single features the song "I'm a Marionette," which was part of a mini-musical titled "The Girl With the Golden Hair" from the band's 1977 tour. According to Billboard magazine, the hit "Take a Chance on Me" is one of ABBA's best productions. The song was number one on the charts in the UK and sold more than 500,000 copies, receiving gold status. The song's commercial success also builds on its 3rd place on the US charts and one million copies sold.
