Introduction
ABBA – I Am An A
“I Am An A” is a playful and self-deprecating song performed by ABBA, often considered a hidden gem from their live performances. It was written by all four members of the band during their European and Australian tour in 1977. The song playfully depicts each member’s personality traits, using the letters A, B, B, and A to represent their names.
The lyrics are lighthearted and humorous, with each member singing about their own quirks and characteristics. Frida describes herself as the “star of the show,” while Agnetha admits to being scared of heights. Benny portrays himself as ambitious and independent, while Björn jokingly describes himself as “careful and shy.”
The song’s catchy melody and the band’s playful banter make it a delightful listen. While it’s not as well-known as some of ABBA’s other hits, “I Am An A” is a fun and charming glimpse into the personalities of the band members and their camaraderie.
