If Everybody Loved The Same As You was Lyn Paul's first single for the Pye record label. Despite the move from Polydor, Lyn continued to work with Ron Roker and Gerry Shury, who had produced and arranged her previous single Mama Don't Wait For Me.

If Everybody Loved The Same As You was one of the entries in the 1977 Song For Europe contest. Coincidentally, Ron Roker and Gerry Shury had written one of the other entries - High Society's Just For You. Bizarrely, both songs scored exactly the same number of points, ending up in a tie for sixth place. Lynsey de Paul and Mike Moran won the contest with the song Rock Bottom. They went on to represent the UK in that year's Eurovision Song Contest, in which they came second.

For Ron Roker perseverance paid off in 1983 when he won the Song For Europe with the aptly-titled I'm Never Giving Up. Co-written with Jan Pulsford and Phil Wigger, the song was performed at the Eurovision Song Contest in Munich by Sweet Dreams, who finished in sixth place.
This is not an ABBA song ABBA are purely edited in their for fun, though I can easily imagine them singing such a song.
