Under Attack
"Under Attack" is a song by the Swedish recording group ABBA. Written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, Agnetha Fältskog provides the lead vocals to the synth-pop number. It was released on 3 December 1982, via Polar Music, as the second and final single from the group's compilation The Singles: The First Ten Years. The track's B-side, "You Owe Me One", was taken from the sessions of the group's aborted ninth album. "Under Attack" is notable as the final original single ABBA released for nearly forty years, as aside from a 1983 reissue of "Thank You for the Music", and 1992 reissues of the latter song, "Dancing Queen", and "Voulez-Vous", they would unofficially disband until 2021, when they reunited for their final studio album Voyage.
Released at the end of the group's run, "Under Attack" became the group's worst charting single since "So Long". While it did crack the top ten in Argentina, Belgium, Finland, and the Netherlands, it charted poorly in the United Kingdom and especially Australia. The song's performance on the Late Late Breakfast Show in December 1982 would be the final live performance ABBA would ever perform. "Under Attack" is featured on More ABBA Gold: More ABBA Hits (1993). The song is featured in the musical theater production Mamma Mia! but not in the film.
