The song "Dancing Queen" is a Europop song by the Swedish group ABBA. It was the group's lead single from their fourth studio album, "Arrival".

"Dancing Queen" was released as a single in Sweden in August 1976, followed by a UK release and the rest of Europe a few days later.

This song became a worldwide hit, and it became ABBA's only No. 1 hit in the US. It also topped the charts in Australia, Canada, the Netherlands, Belgium, Ireland, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the UK, Germany, and Zimbabwe. "Dancing Queen" in addition reached at least the No. 5 spot in many other countries. Musically, "Dancing Queen" is a Europop version of American disco music.

Regarding the song, it is about a girl who is age 17 and loves to dance. She has the chance to be a star by perfectly capturing the euphoria of music and falling in love on the dance floor. Songwriters then tell us that “Dancing Queen” isn’t a song about apocalypse, or even about romantic desolation. It’s just about a night out in a nightclub. But if you’re 17 and a nightclub is the only place where you really feel at home, then the importance of what happens during the night is massive and is all-consuming. It obliterates everything else.

ABBA, a Swedish supergroup, was formed in Stockholm in 1972 by Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.
