ABBA – “No Doubt About It” (2021)

Pop perfection meets human vulnerability — ABBA’s legacy, renewed.

From the opening bars of “No Doubt About It,” it’s clear: time has done nothing to dull ABBA’s melodic magic. Released as part of their long-awaited Voyage album — their first new studio collection in four decades — the song is both a nod to their classic sound and a testament to the emotional maturity that time and distance can bring.

 Lyrically, “No Doubt About It” is a rare thing in pop: an honest admission of fault. The narrator reflects on a moment of impulsive conflict, recognizing the emotional storm they unleashed — and the quiet cost of those unguarded words.

“No doubt about it / I made a mess this time…”

There’s regret, yes — but also self-awareness, humility, and the quiet hope that love can still survive our flaws. It’s a theme that hits deeper in a world more open to emotional honesty, especially when it’s delivered with ABBA’s signature blend of lush harmonies, precise production, and bittersweet undertones.

 Musically, the track sparkles. With a driving beat and polished pop sheen, it carries echoes of ABBA’s golden-era hits while feeling thoroughly modern. The contrast between the upbeat energy and the reflective lyrics adds emotional complexity — a classic ABBA trick that still lands beautifully.

In the context of Voyage, “No Doubt About It” is more than just a standout track — it’s a reminder of why ABBA mattered then, and still matters now. Few groups can turn introspection into anthems or vulnerability into something that makes you want to sing along. But ABBA always could — and clearly, they still can.

Timeless. Honest. Effortlessly catchy.
“No Doubt About It” proves that after all these years, ABBA’s heart still beats to the rhythm of real life — messy, beautiful, and full of melody.
