Cher will be releasing “Dancing Queen,” a new album of all Abba hits on September 28, Warner Bros. Records announced today.
The album can be pre-ordered today, and those orders will immediately receive Cher’s rendition of “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight).”
The Oscar, Emmy and Grammy Award winning icon was inspired to record the album following her performance in the recently-released mega-hit film, “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.”

“I’ve always liked Abba and saw the original ‘Mamma Mia’ musical on Broadway three times,” Cher said in a statement. “After filming ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again,’ I was reminded again of what great and timeless songs they wrote and started thinking, Why not do an album of their music?
“The songs were harder to sing than I imagined, but I’m so happy with how the music came out,” she said. “I’m really excited for people to hear it. It’s a perfect time.”
“Dancing Queen” was recorded and produced in London and Los Angeles with Cher’s longtime collaborator Mark Taylor, who produced Cher’s 2012 global smash “Believe,” which hit No. 1 in more than 50 countries.
