It would be fun to go to one of their concerts in London, which is a story of its own. Band members used Industrial Light and Magic to de-age themselves into homograms back to when they were young in the 1970s and outfitted a whole stadium for their performance. Apparently the concert has been done in such a way that it feels seamless and real:

"Chitquita" is about a depressed, near suicidal teenage girl who gave it up way too quickly to some doofus she thought she loved and now is heartbroken and self loathing over it. Her childless wine aunt is there to comfort her and assure her that she'll probably get over it, meet another guy and be back on that pogo stick in no time.

Dancing Queen is about statutory rape and an underage tramp using a fake ID to get into clubs and grind on dudes before picking one to fuck.

Knowing Me Knowing You is about a long but dysfunctional marriage riddled with abuse and infidelity that ultimately ends in a bitter divorce and their children's childhood home being sold as part of the distribution of assets.

Winner Takes It All is about a chick who is repeatedly rejected for younger/hotter women by a chad she's in love with and, in a last ditch effort to keep him, resorts to letting him do weird sexual shit to her but she still fails.

all of these somehow manage to be very positive, upbeat, and life affirming.

"Take a Chance on me" is about a desperate self-esteem lacking dick drunk cooze unsuccessfully trying to torpedo some Chad's relationship and explicitly stating she is dtf 24/7 no matter what if he makes the call.

Subject: Where is the weird sex stuff?

I don't wanna talk

About things we've gone through

Though it's hurting me

Now it's history

I've played all my cards

And that's what you've done too

Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser's standing small

Beside the victory

That's her destiny

I was in your arms

Thinking I belonged there

I figured it made sense

Building me a fence

Building me a home

Thinking I'd be strong there

But I was a fool

Playing by the rules

The gods may throw a dice

Their minds as cold as ice

And someone way down here

Loses someone dear

The winner takes it all (takes it all)

The loser has to fall (has to fall)

It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)

Why should I complain? (Why complain?)

But tell me, does she kiss

Like I used to kiss you?

Does it feel the same

When she calls your name?

Somewhere deep inside

You must know I miss you

But what can I say?

Rules must be obeyed

The judges will decide (will decide)

The likes of me abide (me abide)

Spectators of the show (of the show)

Always staying low (staying low)

The game is on again (on again)

A lover or a friend (or a friend)

A big thing or a small (big or small)

The winner takes it all (takes it all)

I don't wanna talk

If it makes you feel sad

And I understand

You've come to shake my hand

I apologize

If it makes you feel bad

Seeing me so tense

No self-confidence

But you see

The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

Throw the dice, cold as ice

Way down here, someone dear

Takes it all, has to fall

And it's plain, why complain?

"Waterloo" is about a woman, again lacking self esteem and self respect, staying in a toxic abusive marriage to a man she resents because she knows she can't do any better and has ultimately committed/wasted the best years of her life pursuing a life with him. She draws the comparison to Napoleon being all-in and past the point of no return on an doomed cause.

the song is very positive, upbeat and life affirming

Putin allegedly loves ABBA and paid them to do a private reunion show for him and some VIPs

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/feb/06/vladimir-putin-russia-abba-tribute-concert

Concert raises questions about Putin's alleged love for Abba

This article is more than 16 years old

Abba tribute band Björn Again claims they were tapped to play exclusive concert for Russian prime minister

It was a highly exclusive concert. In fact, when the Abba tribute band Björn Again took to the stage there were just eight people in the audience, tactfully screened off from the performers by a bizarre gauze curtain.

According to the band's founder Ron Stephen, however, the guest of honour at the show was none other than Vladimir Putin, Russia's judo-loving former president and current prime minister. Sitting next to him was a woman wearing an elegant cream dress, he said. "There were basically only 8 or 9 people in the audience," Stephen told the Guardian today.

"Björn Again is a very interactive show. When we play Super Trouper we get people to wave their arms in the air from side to side. With Mamma Mia they point two fingers to the sky."

He added: "We were advised we couldn't have any dialogue with the audience. In fact, everybody was dancing along. There were yells of 'Bravo, Bravo!' and heavy applause."

Putin's press spokesman Dmitry Peskov this afternoon denied that Putin had been at the concert. Today however Stephen said the tribute group had received an invitation before Christmas to do a show on 22 January.

The concert was a private New Year celebration "for the No 2 person in Russia", he said he was informed. The band agreed, and was flown from London to Moscow.

It was then driven for "nine hours through sleet and snow" to a highly protected official compound near Lake Valdai, a wooded picturesque holiday region 200 miles north of the Russian capital.

During the concert the group sang 15 Abba hits including Waterloo, Gimme Gimme Gimme and Dancing Queen.

Today Stephen said he was "99% certain" Putin had been in the audience. He had been sitting next to an unidentified "Miss X" wearing a "really pretty long cream dress", he said.

Vladimir Putin 'jives' to pop group in surprise music admission

Russian President Vladimir Putin is said to be a huge fan of Abba and loves to dance to their hits, according to defence experts

Vladimir Putin is reportedly "jiving" to ABBA tunes in the Kremlin amidst the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, according to defence analysts.

Professor Michael Clarke remarked that the Russian leader adores the Swedish pop sensation and often dances to their music.

In Clarke's words: "Putin jiving away to Dancing Queen. Just think about that - preferably with his shirt on. You know he is a great fan of Abba. He loves Abba."

The Name of the Game is about an attractive but socially awkward woman, likely with Aspergers, who overcompensates for her social difficulties by being overly promiscuous and later realizes she doesn't know how to actually build a real relationship with a guy she likes well after fucking him multiple times.
