"SOS" is a song by the Swedish pop groupABBA, recorded for their eponymous third albumABBA (1975). The track featuresAgnetha Fältskog on lead vocals, and was written byBjörn Ulvaeus,Benny Andersson, andStig Anderson, and produced by Ulvaeus and Andersson. It was released on 3 June 1975 as the fifth single from the album viaPolar Music.[4] No singularB-side was issued, although "Man in the Middle" was used in most releases. Fältskog later recorded the song in Swedish for her 1975 solo albumElva kvinnor i ett hus.[5]

A turning point for the group, "SOS" became the group's first major worldwide hit since "Waterloo". Notably, it brought the group back into the top ten in the United Kingdom, a market where they had struggled to thrive in following "Waterloo"; it peaked at number six on theUK singles chart. "SOS" reached the top spot in Australia, Belgium, New Zealand, South Africa, and West Germany, and reached the top ten in most countries. The song also became the group's second overall top ten hit in the United States, peaking at number ten on theRecord World Singles chart.

"SOS" has been recognized as one of the group's greatest records, with many artists praising its composition and using it as inspiration for their own records.

History

[edit]

"SOS" (working title; "Turn Me On") was written byBenny Andersson,Björn Ulvaeus andStig Anderson and was recorded at Glen Studio inLångängen, Sweden, on 22–23 August 1974.[6] The title itself was coined by Stig, though the lyrics he provided were re-written by Ulvaeus.[4] "SOS" was among the first of three songs recorded for the group's 1975 album,ABBA, and the opening track of their classicGreatest Hits LP released at the end of the same year.

The song opens with a piano intro, followed by the first verse sung by Fältskog. BiographerCarl Magnus Palm described it as Agnetha's first heartbreak classic, wherein the tear-filled vocal delivery, her trademark, would blend a pop melody, with a dash of melancholy.[4] The song features a heavy influence from theWall of Sound instrumentation ofPhil Spector and the melodies ofthe Beach Boys.[7]

Lyricist Ulvaeus has said that, after three years of trying to figure out what style would define them, ABBA found its identity as a pop group with the release of "SOS",[8] while Palm described it as "pure ABBA".[4]

During the band's first visit to the United States, ABBA performed "SOS" on the long-running television programsAmerican Bandstand andSaturday Night Live on the same date, 15 November 1975.[9][10] The promotional video was directed by Lasse Hallström and released in the same year, along with the single.[11] The video and three others (for "I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do", "Mamma Mia" and "Bang-A-Boomerang"), were completed in two days for a total cost ofKr 50,000 (£5,500).[6] The video was uploaded toYouTube on 8 October 2009, on the AbbaVEVO channel, and has over 100 million views as of August 2025.[12]

The song is also featured in the concert filmABBA: The Movie (1977),Good Night Oppy (2022), andLive at Wembley Arena, released in 2014.[13]

Reception

[edit]

I remember hearing "S.O.S". on the radio in the States and realizing that it was Abba. But it was too late, because I was already transported by it. I just thought it was such a great sound, you know – great bass drum and the whole thing...

—Pete Townshend,
Rolling Stone Magazine, June 1982

"SOS" marked a significant turnaround in ABBA's fortunes and returned them to the Top 10 in many countries.[14] Reaching No. 6 and No. 4 respectively, "SOS" started a run of 18 consecutive Top 10 hits for ABBA in the UK and Ireland.[15][16] "SOS" reached No. 1 in Australia, Belgium, France, West Germany (where it spent seven weeks at the top), New Zealand and South Africa, and was a Top 3 hit in Austria, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy (where it became ABBA's most successful hit), Mexico,Rhodesia and Switzerland. The song also became ABBA's second Top 20 hit in the United States, peaking at No. 15.[17][18]

As of September 2021, it is ABBA's 19th-biggest song in the UK, including both pure sales and digital streams.[19]

Chicago radio stationWLS, which gave "SOS" much airplay, ranked the song as the 61st biggest hit of 1975.[20] It peaked at number six on their survey of 22 November 1975.[21]

"SOS" has been recorded and performed in concert by several prominent artists, includingJohn Frusciante,Peter Cetera,Chris deBurgh,Cher,Portishead,Fozzy, and Canadian rock groupHeadstones. English synth-pop duoErasure covered "SOS" and three other ABBA songs on their 1992Abba-esque EP, reaching number one in the UK singles chart.[22]

Ray Davies ofthe Kinks said that he was taken with the song after seeing the group perform it on theBBC television showSeaside Special.[23] In 1975,Pete Townshend named it as, "the best pop song ever written."[24]

American singer-songwriter and formerCzars frontmanJohn Grant has called "SOS" "one of the greatest pieces of music ever made", adding thatAgnetha Fältskog's "perfect" lyrical interpretation and emotional delivery is "a beautiful thing".[8] British conductor and producerCharles Hazlewood called the song's "supersonic" transition from an acousticD-minor key to an electric rock motif "absolutely genius".[8]

Sex Pistols bassistGlen Matlock has claimed to have been inspired to write the mainriff of "Pretty Vacant" after hearing "SOS" on a jukebox.[25]

ABBA's performance of "SOS" onAmerican Bandstand in 1975 has been included on lists of the most significant performances in the show's 31 seasons by several reviewers and critics. Bill Lamb put the song at number five,[26] as did Alicia Diaz Dennis[27] and Andres Jauregui.[28]

ABBA performed "SOS" on episode five of the inaugural season of the long-running comedy-variety showSaturday Night Live (SNL) on 15 November 1975.[29]SNL head writerMichael O'Donoghue staged the performance on a set of the deck of theTitanic and continued the sketch while the band were performing, according to bandleaderPaul Shaffer, "They kept on singing like the pros that they are."[30]

To date, the song is the only USHot 100 orUK Official Charts single (or No. 1 single in Australia[31]) in which both the title and the artist arepalindromes.[32][33]

Agnetha Fältskog's version was the second single from her fifth Swedish solo-albumElva kvinnor i ett hus (Eleven Women in One House).[4] It was the only song from this album not to have been composed by Fältskog herself.

Despite the fact that Fältskog never promoted the single in Sweden, it peaked at No. 4 on the singles chart on 1 January 1976 during a 20-week chart run, and it also became Fältskog's third No. 1 on radio chartSvensktoppen, entering the chart on 22 November 1975 and spending a total of eleven weeks on the listing.[87]

The B-side of the single, "Visa I Åttonde Månaden" (Song in the Eighth Month) was a song written from a very personal perspective, as it was composed during Fältskog's pregnancy with daughterLinda Ulvaeus in 1973.[6]

American singerCher's version was the second single from her 2018 albumDancing Queen. It was released on 23 August 2018.[90] The song peaked at number 56 in the Scottish singles chart in August of that year.[91]

Critical reception

[edit]

Writing forRolling Stone, Brittany Spanos felt that "working with producerMark Taylor who helped seal Cher's legacy with the game-changing 'Believe' in the late Nineties, she finds subtle changes that update ABBA classics without totally stripping them of the catchiness that made those songs beloved hits well beyond their heyday. 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight),' 'SOS' and 'Mamma Mia' are given just enough of a knob turn that they're transformed from upbeatFM radio pop into club bangers, pulsating with every beat."[92]

Music video

[edit]

An accompanying music video for "SOS" was directed by Jake Wilson, and was premiered through Cher's official YouTube channel on 18 September 2018. The video featuresRumer Willis, singerBetty Who,Transparent starTrace Lysette, comedianSabrina Jalees,Elena of Avalor voice actorAimee Carrero andCrazy Ex-Girlfriend cast memberVella Lovell. It was styled by fashion director William Graper in a similar fashion to the original ABBA video.[93] It was also listed as the 18th best music video of 2018 byPaper. Roytel Montero said that "in a studied homage to the original ABBA classic from 1975, [the] interpretation of the video renders it a poignant call to female solidarity".[94]

Live performances

[edit]

Cher appeared onThe Ellen Show on 7 September 2018, to promote her ABBAtribute albumDancing Queen. During her appearance on Ellen, Cher also performed her rendition of ABBA's "SOS" and discussed her upcoming world tour.[95] During herHere We Go Again Tour she performs "SOS" together with "Waterloo" and "Fernando".[96] On 31 October 2018 "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)" and "Take Me Home" were cut from herClassic Cher concert residency and "Waterloo", "SOS" and "Fernando" were added.[97]
