"The Winner Takes It All", originally titled "The Story of My Life", was written by both Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with Fältskog singing the lead vocal. The lyrics to the song were thought to mirror the divorce between Ulvaeus and Fältskog in 1979. However, Ulvaeus himself denies this, saying the basis of the song "is the experience of a divorce, but it's fiction. There wasn't a winner or a loser in our case. A lot of people think it's straight out of reality, but it's not". [1]

In a 1999 poll for Channel Five, "The Winner Takes It All" was voted Britain's favorite ABBA song. In a 2006 poll for a Channel Five program, "The Winner Takes It All" was voted "Britain's Favourite Break-Up Song."
