Introduction
For decades, Agnetha Fältskog has been known as the ethereal voice of ABBA, the Swedish supergroup that defined pop music for an entire generation. While her career has often been associated with the glitz, drama, and legacy of ABBA, Agnetha has also quietly built a reputation as a solo artist who pours raw emotion and authenticity into her work. In 2013, she surprised the music world with the release of her solo album A, which featured the duet “I Should’ve Followed You Home” with Gary Barlow of Take That. Now, ten years later, Agnetha has returned with a refreshed and reimagined version of the track—“I Should’ve Followed You Home (A+)”—bringing new life to a song that has long been cherished by fans.
The original collaboration between Agnetha and Gary Barlow was hailed as one of the highlights of A. Their voices blended seamlessly, carrying the bittersweet story of regret, missed chances, and the longing for what might have been. The duet resonated deeply with listeners, not only for its lyrical poignancy but also for the sense of two generations of pop icons uniting in perfect harmony.
With the new “A+” version, Agnetha and her production team have stripped the song back, allowing her crystalline vocals to shine more brightly against a modern, more atmospheric arrangement. Gary Barlow’s presence remains essential, his warm, grounded tone complementing Agnetha’s soaring delivery. Together, they create a haunting and timeless atmosphere that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
For longtime fans, this release is more than just a new version of an old favorite—it is a reminder of Agnetha’s enduring artistry. Despite years away from the spotlight, her voice remains as captivating as ever, carrying the same emotional depth that made ABBA a global phenomenon. The choice to revisit “I Should’ve Followed You Home” also speaks to Agnetha’s commitment to music that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.
In a music landscape often dominated by fleeting trends, Agnetha Fältskog continues to prove that genuine artistry transcends time. “I Should’ve Followed You Home (A+)” is not just a song—it is a testament to her legacy, her resilience, and her ability to connect hearts across generations.
