Björn and Benny are lead vocalists on this song.[4] The song includes an electric piano and a synth bass. The song has a chord-per-bar pattern that is sometimes broken due to filigree.^{[clarification needed]}[5]

Critical reception

Bright Lights Dark Shadows: The Real Story of Abba describes it as "dirge-like", and says it "holds the dubious distinction of being the least-liked Abba track ever among the group's hardcore fans", adding that it is a leftover from an earlier project.[6] ABBA: Let The Music Speak notes that this song was an "uninspired attempt at laid-back R&B", adding though that the song gave Agnetha and Frida some isolated moments by way of their "'echo' vocals".[1] It also refers to the song as "less remarkable",[7] "filler track", and "lacking trademark ABBA vocal ambience".[8]
