ABBA was a Swedish Eurovision Song Contest-winning pop music group active between 1972 and 1982. The quartet was formed through the friendship of Benny Andersson and Bjrn Ulvaeus and also consists of Anni-Frid Lyngstad (usually known as Frida) and Agnetha Fltskog.They topped the charts worldwide from the mid-1970s to the early 1980s. The name -ABBA- is an acronym formed from the first letters of each of the group member-s given name (Agnetha; Bjrn; Benny; Anni-Frid). "Slipping Through My Fingers" is a song written by Bjrn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson and recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA from their 1981 album, The Visitors, with lead vocals by Agnetha Fltskog. The song is about a mother's regret at how quickly her daughter is growing up, and the lack of time they have spent together.
The inspiration for the song was Ulvaeus' and Fltskog's daughter, Linda Ulvaeus, who was five at the time the song was written.
The song was only released as a single in Japan (Discomate, 1981), where it was a red vinyl promo single for The Coca-Cola Company with nothing on the b-side except of a printed picture of the group. An album with the same name and a similar.
