“I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original Mamma Mia musical on Broadway three times,” Cher said in a news release. “After filming ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,’ I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, ‘Why not do an album of their music?’ The songs were harder to sing than I imagined, but I'm so happy with how the music came out. I'm really excited for people to hear it. It's a perfect time.”

Cher tweeted a teaser of the new music in the form of a 40-second clip of "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)".
