You can dance, you can jive to the hit songs from the Swedish pop group, such as "Dancing Queen" and "Waterloo."

How many ABBA songs are in the Mamma Mia! musical?

A total of 23 ABBA songs are in Mamma Mia! on Broadway. The track list spans hits from throughout their career, beginning with their 1975 Eurovision win, and even songs that began as deep cuts are now globally recognizable hits thanks to the musical. Check them all out below: How many do you know?

"Honey, Honey"

"July 17. What a night!" This bubbly song kicks off the action of Mamma Mia!, with Sophie reading her mom's diary and learning about the three lovers from Donna's past who could be her dad. The song is from ABBA's second album, Waterloo.

"Money, Money, Money"

This song introduces Donna, who's worked nonstop for the last 20 years to keep her Greek tavern up and running, putting her own happiness aside for the sake of the guests and her daughter. She longs to live in a "rich man's world" where someone will take care of her for a change.

The song is originally about a woman who struggles to keep her finances in order. It is on ABBA's fourth album, Arrival.

"Thank You for the Music"

Released on ABBA’s simply titled The Album, "Thank You for the Music" underscores Sophie's reunion with her dads in the musical. She recalls how Donna used to sing it to her as a kid — and upon meeting the men, she discovers where Donna first heard the song.

"Thank You for the Music" was omitted from the Mamma Mia! movie, but it underscores the end credits.

"Mamma Mia"

"Here I go again," thinks Donna, when she discovers the presence of her former lovers on the island. While frantically hiding from them, she flips between fear over confronting her past and an unexpected surge of long-dormant emotion. How can she resist?

"Chiquitita"

In Mamma Mia!, Donna's BFFs and former bandmates, Rosie and Tanya, sing “Chiquitita” to cheer her up after the shock of seeing the men again. The title translates to “little one” in Spanish, and the song was released in 1979 as part of ABBA's sixth album, Voulez-Vous.

"Dancing Queen"

You know you know the words. A Europop take on the American disco sound, “Dancing Queen” reached number one in 16 countries when it was released in 1976. Donna, Tanya, and Rosie relive the glory days of their youth and their band, Donna and the Dynamos, in this playful scene in Mamma Mia!

"Lay All Your Love on Me"

Released in 1980, “Lay All Your Love on Me” has become a fixture of nightclubs and couples' karaoke duets everywhere. On the eve of their wedding, Sky and Sophie lay out their feelings for each other — and while the song is romantic and sexy, it's peppered with humor in the musical, when the guys in Sky's bachelor party show up in flippers (and perform some impressively high kicks in them). You've just got to see it on stage.

"Super Trouper"

What better way to top off Sophie's bachelorette party than with a Donna and the Dynamos reunion? The trio perform “Super Trouper” in costumes that resemble ABBA's over-the-top outfits. The song is named after a large spotlight used in concerts, but it was originally called "Blinka Lilla Stjärna," which is Swedish for "twinkle twinkle little star."

"Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"

As the bachelorette party rolls on, the guys return from their own outing, and the whole ensemble performs "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)." The song wasn't part of an album — it was first recorded to promote ABBA's tour in 1979 — but it became so popular that it was included on reissues of Voulez-Vous, and it's a nightclub staple.

"The Name of the Game"

The whole time the "dads" have been there, they thought Donna invited them. But now, they're all starting to independently think they're Sophie's father. Bill approaches Sophie with the revelation first, so she asks him to walk her down the aisle and keep quiet about it until they can talk to Donna.

The Stevie Wonder-inspired song was released in 1977 as the first single on ABBA: The Album.

"Voulez-Vous"

As the ensemble reaches a fever pitch of energy and anticipation at the bachelorette party, Sophie runs away, overwhelmed with the secrets she's keeping and the mounting uncertainty of what to do about her other two "dads." This whirlwind of a number, which features the full cast on stage, ends Act 1.

“Voulez-Vous” translates to “Do you want?” and was released in 1979. For a Swedish band, ABBA has song titles in numerous languages: English, Spanish, Italian, and now French!

"Under Attack"

After an entr'acte, Act 2 opens on Sophie having a vivid nightmare. She imagines all her dads fighting to walk her down the aisle, while multiple other characters appear in surprising costumes.

“Under Attack” is one of the few Mamma Mia! songs you'll only hear on stage, as it's not in either movie.

"One of Us"

Sam tries to comfort Donna after she and Sophie fight, but Donna still hasn't forgiven him for leaving her all those years ago. “One of Us” was released in 1981 and written in the midst of ABBA members Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson's respective divorces.

The song was cut from the first Mamma Mia! film, but Sophie and Sky sing it in the sequel, Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, as they have their own fight.

"SOS"

"The love you gave me, nothing else could save me," Sam and Donna sing in this heartbreak anthem. Both wish they could start over and rekindle the love that once was, but it's not so easy. "SOS" was released in 1975 and became the band's first big hit since the Eurovision-winning "Waterloo."

"Does Your Mother Know"

Tanya is a chic, grown woman who knows how to put the tavern's drooling young staff of boys in their place. She sings this song while doing just that in a playful scene that temporarily detours from the main plot.

Even though it's sung by a woman in Mamma Mia!, the original recording, released in 1979, is one of ABBA's few songs to feature one of the male band members (Ulvaeus) as lead vocalist instead of Fältskog or Lyngstad.

"Knowing Me, Knowing You"

After Sophie and Sky fight right before the wedding, Sam sings “Knowing Me, Knowing You” to Sophie, describing his own failed marriage and what he wish he knew back then.

The song was previously titled "Ring It In" and "Number 1, Number 1" before ABBA released it as “Knowing Me, Knowing You.” In Mamma Mia 2: Here We Go Again, a younger Donna and Sam sing it when they break up.

"Our Last Summer"

The only duet between Harry and Donna sees them reminisce on the fun-filled, whirlwind summer they spent together 20 years before. In the Mamma Mia! movie, in contrast, all three dads sing it to Sophie as they bond and share memories of Donna.

Ulvaeus's teenage romance in Paris inspired the song, released in 1980. Fun fact: The melody of "Our Last Summer" is similar to "Anthem" from the musical Chess, which has a score by Ulvaeus and Andersson (and is also coming back to Broadway in 2025).

"Slipping Through My Fingers"

This song sees a mom wishing she'd spent more time with her daughter, and Donna has those same thoughts as she helps Sophie get dressed for the wedding. The ballad marks the heartfelt moment where they reconcile, and Sophie asks her mom to give her away at the ceremony instead of any of the men.

"The Winner Takes It All"

An all-time great breakup song, "The Winner Takes It All" sees Donna powerfully vent her frustration that Sam broke her heart, but she can't get over him. In her view, he's the "winner" who ended up in a marriage of his own, while she was left alone and lost.

An original demo of the song was titled "The Story of My Life." The final track, released in 1980 on the album Super Trouper, is about a divorce, though songwriter Ulvaeus denies that it's about his own divorce from fellow ABBA member Fältskog.

"Take a Chance on Me"

Apart from the central romances of Sophie/Sky and Donna/Sam, Rosie is nursing a crush on Bill, and she finally lets him know. A comic highlight of the show, the scene sees Rosie chase after Bill — literally — until he agrees to, well, take a chance.

Released in 1978, the song arose from a rhythm Ulvaeus, an avid runner, would sing to himself to keep pace. "Tk-a-ch" turned into "take a chance," and soon the full song was born.

"I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do"

Unsurprisingly, this 1975 ABBA hit is Mamma Mia!'s wedding song. But perhaps not the wedding of the couple you'd think! The track's sound is inspired by European schlager music and the saxopohone stylings of American bandleader Billy Vaughn.

"I Have a Dream"

At the end of Mamma Mia!, Sophie and Sky go off to travel the world, and they and all the couples look forward to a future full of love.

The original 1979 recording of "I Have a Dream" features vocals by a Stockholm children's choir.

"Waterloo"

It wouldn't be an ABBA show without "Waterloo," the song that won ABBA the Eurovision Song Contest in 1975. In their finest ABBA-inspired costumes, the whole cast comes out to lead the audience in a sing-along megamix of "Waterloo," "Dancing Queen," and "Mamma Mia." Get ready to dance, jive, and have the time of your life.
