ABBA’s Breakup Songs: Could You Keep Working With an Ex?

I enjoy learning the stories behind the music I love. ABBA’s history is especially intriguing because the group continued recording as relationships between its members changed. Björn Ulvaeus and Agnetha Fältskog were married, while Benny Andersson and Anni-Frid Lyngstad were also a couple and later married. Songs such as “SOS,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You” and “One of Us” are often linked to the members’ relationship struggles. However, the songs were written by Benny and Björn, with Stig Anderson also credited on “SOS”—not by Agnetha or Anni-Frid as the original story suggests. I find it fascinating that the members could keep working together through personal changes. Could you maintain a friendly or professional relationship with an ex, or would the separation make that too difficult?
