ABBA confirmed that the song was first written way back in 1978, and a demo of the track – originally slated for inclusion on 1979's Voulez-Vous album – have long circulated among fans.
On announcing the Voyage project, which could well be the band's last work together, the band said that it came out of plans to create "the strangest and most spectacular concert you could ever dream of".

Instead of a standard tour, Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Anni-Frid will perform digitally with a live 10-piece band, in a purpose-built arena called The ABBA Arena in London from May 27, 2022.
The digital versions of the band, dubbed 'ABBA-tars' by fans, were created by recording hours of performance using cutting-edge motion and performance-capture technology.
The work was done by an 850-strong team from Industrial Light & Magic, the company founded by George Lucas.
