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.

While the song was written by Björn about a summer romance he had while a student, Frida’s interpretation is entirely believable, just one of many standout performances from her on this album, in some cases sadly overlooked due to the dominance of The Winner Takes It All.

The Super Trouper album became the biggest-selling of 1980 in the UK, despite only being released some eight weeks before the end of the year. It also topped the charts in their native Sweden, Germany, Norway and Holland. Outside of Europe, "Super Trouper" was a more modest hit. For example, in the United States, where ABBA never attained quite the popularity experienced elsewhere, the single reached No. 45. However, combined with " Lay All Your Love on Me" and " On and On and On", it topped the US Hot Dance Club Play chart in May 1981. The song reached the lower regions of the charts in countries such as Australia [7] and Japan, [8] but in Mexico it reached No. 3. [9] Billboard.BIZ: Top Pop Albums of 1981". Billboard.

The video shows a girl so obsessed with the band that she owns posters, magazines, mugs, clothing, and a key chain. She also copies the band's choreography that is shown on TV. Some of the articles that feature pictures of the band come to life in the video. The band had never enjoyed touring, and now separation from loved ones while on tour was an issue for Björn, who missed his new partner, something he had never experienced with Agnetha as they were never apart. The song shot to No. 1 around the world when it was released as the second single in November 1980. The song is performed in the Mamma Mia! stage musical, as well as the 2008 film adaptation. In the musical and film, Donna, Tanya and Rosie perform the song at Sophie's hen party dressed in the tight lycra suits they used to wear when they were a girl band called "Donna and the Dynamos". In the context of the musical, it explains that even though Donna has a hard life sometimes, all she has to know to feel better is that Sophie is there. When Niklas Strömstedt wrote lyrics for the Swedish staging of the musical, " Glasgow" was replaced by " Gränna" as the place from which the singer calls in the lyrics.
