Introduction
A Misconception
There seems to be a misunderstanding. While ABBA’s music is undeniably the heart and soul of the musical and film Mamma Mia!, the song “Mamma Mia!” itself is not an original ABBA composition.
Mamma Mia! is a stage musical, later adapted into a film, that uses ABBA’s extensive catalog of hits to tell a story of love, family, and identity. The musical’s title, “Mamma Mia!”, is derived from the chorus of ABBA’s song “Mamma Mia,” but the plot and characters are original creations.
