No Doubt About It: ABBA’s New Chapter in 2021
ABBA’s “No Doubt About It” isn’t a vintage track you might expect from the Swedish supergroup. Released in late 2021, it marked a triumphant return for the band after a nearly 40-year hiatus from recording new music. This single, along with the accompanying album Voyage, signaled a new chapter for ABBA, one that surprised and delighted fans worldwide.
“No Doubt About It” wasn’t just a new song; it was a statement. The track showcased the unmistakable songwriting partnership of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, still retaining the essence of the classic ABBA sound – soaring vocals, catchy melodies, and a touch of melancholy.

It’s a relatable theme, sung with the emotional honesty that resonated with fans throughout ABBA’s career.
The release of “No Doubt About It” wasn’t without its intrigue. ABBA didn’t return to traditional recording methods. Instead, the group utilized cutting-edge digital techniques to create their “Abbatars” – virtual representations of themselves in their younger years. This innovative approach allowed fans to experience the music with a fresh perspective while retaining the undeniable presence of the original members.
“No Doubt About It” marked a significant moment in music history. It proved that ABBA’s music, with its timeless themes and infectious energy, could still resonate with a whole new generation. Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer discovering ABBA for the first time, “No Doubt About It” is an invitation to revisit the magic that made them one of the most beloved pop groups of all time.
