ABBA – No Doubt About It: A Voyage Through Time
“No Doubt About It” isn’t your typical ABBA song. Released in late 2021, it marked a triumphant return for the iconic Swedish pop group after a 40-year hiatus. This wasn’t just any comeback, though. It was part of their highly anticipated album, “Voyage,” signifying a new chapter for the band.
While “Voyage” retained the infectious pop melodies ABBA is known for, “No Doubt About It” offered a fresh twist. Described as having a “Japanese flavor” in the beginning, the song quickly transitions into a powerful rock-tinged anthem. This stylistic departure reflects the band members’ growth and willingness to experiment, even after decades in the industry.
The lyrics, penned by Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, delve into a relatable theme: a passionate argument between lovers. Frida Lyngstad (better known as Frida) herself has commented on how the song evokes the fiery emotions captured in her solo albums from the 80s. This personal touch adds depth to the song, making it resonate with listeners experiencing similar relationship dynamics.
“No Doubt About It” wasn’t just a single; it was a statement. It proved that ABBA, despite the passage of time, could still surprise and captivate audiences. Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer to their music, this song offers a glimpse into ABBA’s enduring legacy and their exciting evolution as artists.
