The Winner Takes It All was released by ABBA in 1980 as the lead single from their album Super Trouper, with Agnetha Fältskog singing lead. Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, it became one of the group's most enduring ballads and has remained in regular use through films, stage shows and social media edits. Short clips of the chorus circulate online because the melody is instantly recognisable even without context, and creators often reuse it to frame contests, breakups and unexpected reversals. Its lasting appeal comes from that mix of pop polish and genuine heartbreak.
À propos de ce son
A short excerpt of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All, featuring its famous chorus melody. Creators use it for dramatic wins, losses and ironic victory moments.
A short musical excerpt built around the soaring, bittersweet chorus of ABBA's The Winner Takes It All, with a clear lead vocal over piano and swelling strings. It opens with a sense of quiet heartbreak, then lifts into a dramatic, instantly recognisable melody that feels both triumphant and sad at the same time. The contrast is what gives the clip its power: it can celebrate a hard-earned victory, underline a painful defeat, or make an everyday win feel like the ending of a film. Even in just a few seconds, the familiar tune carries nostalgia, emotion and a touch of theatrical irony.
