Information about the piece

Chiquitita is an iconic song by Swedish pop band ABBA, first released on January 16, 1979. Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, it is known for the heartfelt lyrics and its uplifting melody, encapsulating the essence of ABBA's timeless sound.

This song is meticulously crafted with ABBA’s classic pop structure consisting of verses and choruses as well as a compelling bridge. An interesting musical aspect of Chiquitita lies in its distinctive key change - from F# minor during the verse to A Major during the chorus - creating an uplift in mood. The song also includes characteristic polyphony, incorporating multiple concurrent melodies, a common feature in many ABBA songs. Chiquitita's lyrics combine a poignant message layered with a joyful melody in typical ABBA style.

  • Released as the first single from their sixth studio album, Voulez-Vous.
  • The song was a global commercial success, and is still one of the band’s best-selling singles.
  • It was notably performed at the Music for UNICEF Concert, where all copyright royalties were donated to UNICEF.
