As popular ABBA was, the foursome were not really fond of performing onstage and liked performing in studios rather than going on tour. The idea is reflected in this song, which has an upbeat tempo while the lyrics take a more lonely approach to stardom.

American album certifications – ABBA – Super Trouper". Recording Industry Association of America . Retrieved 3 March 2013. On November 3, 1980, ABBA’s seventh studio album reached record stores in their native Sweden, and subsequently in the rest of the world. It was, perhaps, the least complicated and most straightforward album the group ever made. There was a sense of neatness that surrounded its conception. In January, Björn and Benny went on a highly productive songwriting trip to Barbados, returning with no less than five songs. On February 4 recording sessions started at Polar Music Studios, and by mid-October work was concluded. The only interruption, aside from holidays, consisted of a two-week tour of Japan in March, but that venture was based on the previous autumn’s trek of North America and Europe, and was comparatively easy to see through. The Super Trouper sessions were a marked contrast to the 12-month gestation period for the previous album, Voulez-Vous, where Björn and Benny discarded plenty of songs in various stages of completion, where ABBA’s own recording studio, Polar Music Studios, was opened a few months into the sessions, where Agnetha and Björn decided to end their marriage midway through the production, and where the release date for the album was continually postponed.

With more than an air of swansong to it, the album as a whole suggests that ABBA maybe knew their time was coming to an end – a theory supported by the album’s artwork, a shot of the group in a moodily lit circus setting, surrounded by a specially invited audience made up of their family and closest friends.
