Happy New Year was recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA for their 1980 album Super Trouper, and it has since become one of their most replayed seasonal songs. Its lyrics look back on a year of parties and memories while toasting the future, which helped it return every December long after its original release. The track spread through radio, New Year broadcasts and later streaming playlists, and short cuts like this one are now commonly shared for countdowns, recaps and greetings because the chorus is instantly recognisable even to listeners who do not know the full album.
