Introduction
“Little Things” is a song by ABBA, released in November 2021 as part of their album Voyage. The song, like many of ABBA’s tracks, highlights themes of love and intimacy, but with a more tender and reflective approach. Written by band members Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, “Little Things” stands out for its gentle, nostalgic tone, focusing on the small, everyday moments that define a lasting relationship.
The song’s lyrics describe the beauty and depth of love found in seemingly simple things, such as a shared glance or a quiet moment together. It celebrates the quiet, unspoken gestures that make a relationship meaningful, and is often interpreted as a tribute to the enduring nature of love. It contrasts the grand gestures of love with the “little things” that create the true essence of connection.
“Little Things” was part of ABBA’s highly anticipated return after nearly four decades of silence, following their last studio album The Visitors in 1981. Voyage marked their comeback, and “Little Things” added to the excitement, offering fans a glimpse into the timeless quality of ABBA’s music. The song was well-received for its warmth, melody, and the band’s signature vocal harmonies, reminding listeners why ABBA remains one of the most beloved pop groups in history.
