Introduction
“Santa Rosa” is a song by the Swedish pop group ABBA. It was originally recorded in 1972 with the intention of releasing it as a single in Japan. However, the song was not released at the time and remained largely unknown until it was included on the 1994 ABBA compilation album, *Thank You for the Music*.
The song features a catchy melody and a driving beat, characteristic of ABBA’s early sound. The lyrics express a longing for home and a desire to return to a simpler time. While not as well-known as some of their other hits, “Santa Rosa” offers a glimpse into ABBA’s early musical explorations and provides a valuable addition to their extensive discography.
