Knowing Me Knowing You
Knowing Me, Knowing You (working titles Ring It In and Number One, Number One):
Backing track and vocals recorded on March 23, 1976 (Metronome Studio).
Guitar overdubs added on may 24, 1976(Metronome Studio).
'Knowing Me, Knowing You' was probably the first ABBA song to truly acknowledge that the group consisted of four adults. Whereas previous lyrics about love troubles had been more generic, couplet's like "in this old familiar room, children would play" indicated that 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' dealt with the collapse of a marriage, as opposed to any old teenage romance.
The title came from Stig Anderson, but the rest of the words were written by Björn. He has since denied that the lyrics had any bearing on his own situation at that time. "Even if the roots are somewhere deep inside, form something what has happened to you, it's still 90 per cent fiction, he said. " I was just working from images. I saw a man walking through an empty house for the last time as a symbol of divorce. I just described what I saw. I hadn't been through that myself then." (taken from the book Bright Lights Dark Shadows by Carl Magnus Palm)
