The Swedish icon, known for his dazzling musical legacy, quiet demeanor, and private nature, finally ripped off the veil and admitted a long-whispered truth that has hovered over the band for decades: much of ABBA’s glittering, upbeat catalog was born from pain, heartbreak, and his own long-hidden personal struggles.

“I’ve kept it in for years,” Björn said, his voice calm but resolute.

“But I think people deserve to know.

ABBA wasn’t always the joyride it looked like.

It was therapy.

It was survival.

Fans have always speculated that songs like “The Winner Takes It All,” “Knowing Me, Knowing You,” and “One of Us” were more than just poetic heartbreak—they were cries from inside the band’s collapsing marriages.

But Björn has now confirmed it, admitting that the group’s biggest hits were “direct reflections” of his emotional unraveling during the tumultuous breakup with fellow ABBA member and ex-wife Agnetha Fältskog.

“I was writing lyrics about pain I couldn’t even speak aloud,” he confessed.

“When I wrote ‘The Winner Takes It All,’ I was writing about myself.

About the shame, the loss, the feeling of watching someone you love walk away—and knowing it’s your fault.

” That particular song, which many fans assumed was penned by Agnetha due to her heartbreaking vocal delivery, was in fact entirely written by Björn just months after their split.

“I gave her those lyrics, and she sang them better than I ever could’ve imagined,” he said.

“That was one of the hardest moments of my life.

And it wasn’t just about love.

Björn also revealed a long-hidden struggle with impostor syndrome and deep depression, especially during ABBA’s peak in the late 1970s.

“I was writing global hits, standing on the world’s biggest stages, and I felt empty.

I felt like a fraud.

” While the world danced to “Dancing Queen,” Björn says he was quietly falling apart behind the scenes, relying on alcohol and distraction to escape his inner spiral.

“Nobody wanted to hear that the smiling guy in sequins was dying inside,” he said.

“So I kept smiling.

He also admitted that the group’s explosive fame put unimaginable pressure on all four members.

“It broke us in ways no one saw.

It made us rich, it made us legends—but it also shattered relationships, identities, and nearly our sanity.

Perhaps most shocking of all, Björn confirmed that he never truly got over Agnetha.

While both moved on publicly and remained cordial for decades, he confessed that “a piece of my heart stayed with her—and probably always will.

” He added, “I loved her.

I still do, in a different way.

But what we lost back then… I’ll never fully forgive myself for it.

This stunning level of honesty has left fans floored.

Social media lit up within minutes of the interview’s release, with thousands posting messages like, “I knew those lyrics were too real,” and “ABBA’s songs hit harder now than ever before.

” The band, which recently reunited digitally for the Voyage hologram concert project, now carries a deeper layer of humanity beneath its polished, synthesized surface.

Music historians have long debated how ABBA managed to blend heartbreak with pop brilliance—but Björn’s confession finally lays the truth bare: the band was a lifeboat for four broken people navigating global fame while their personal worlds crumbled.

When asked if he regrets keeping these feelings hidden for so long, Björn gave a surprisingly peaceful answer: “I think it had to happen this way.

If I had said it all back then, people wouldn’t have understood.

But now? Now I think they’re ready.

As he approaches 80, Björn Ulvaeus seems to be embracing a new legacy—not just as a hitmaker and pop architect, but as a survivor of emotional war who turned pain into timeless music.

“I don’t know how many more years I have left,” he said.

“But I want to spend them being honest—with myself, and with the people who gave us everything.

In the end, his confession isn’t just about ABBA—it’s about the reality that even the most joyous songs often come from the darkest places.

And thanks to Björn’s raw honesty, the music millions grew up dancing to now has even deeper meaning.

The disco ball may have been spinning—but behind it, a heart was quietly breaking.

And now, at last, it’s speaking.
