Agnetha was born in 1950 in Jönköping, Sweden. She began her singing career around 1967 as lead singer for the Bernt Enghardt band, a typical 1960s Swedish dance band. In 1968, she signed a contract as a solo artist and released her first album, Agnetha Fältskog. It was a significant hit, as were the follow-ups, Agnetha Fältskog Vol. 2 (1969) and Som jag är (1970). By this time, Agnetha was established as a major recording star in Sweden.
In 1969, Agnetha had become romantically involved with Björn Ulvaeus. Björn was at that time working with fellow songwriter/producer Benny Andersson on a series of projects. One such project was an occasional singing group, Festfolket, comprising of Agnetha, Björn, Benny and Benny's girlfriend, Anni-Frid Lyngstad (who also recorded as Frida).
During this time, Agnetha's solo career continued with more successes, including taking the role of Mary Magdalene in the Swedish stage version of Jesus Christ Superstar. In 1970, the two couples scored a significant hit, "Hej, gamle man", although it was credited as Benny & Björn. In 1971, Agnetha released her final "pre-ABBA" album, När en vacker tanke blir en sång.
In 1972, the foursome released their first official collaborative effort, the song "People Need Love", credited to Björn & Benny, Agnetha & Anni-Frid. An album, Ring Ring followed.
In 1974 with the release of their second album, the group was oficially renamed ABBA and would go on to dominate music charts for the next decade. Agnetha released one solo album during this period, Elva kvinnor i ett hus (1975). As ABBA began to wind down, she released an album of Christmas songs with her daughter entitled Nu tändas tusen juleljus in 1981.
Her first recording following her divorce from Bjorn (as well as the breakup of ABBA) was her first English solo album, Wrap Your Arms Around Me in 1983, followed by Eyes of a Woman in 1985.
She released two albums in 1987, the Swedish collection of children's songs Kom följ med i vår karusell, recorded with her young son and the English-language I Stand Alone. This would be her final studio album for seventeen years.
During this period, hits included "The Heat Is On", "Can't Shake Loose", "The Way You Are", "The Last Time" and "I Won't Let You Go".
In 2004, Agnetha returned to the public eye with both a compilation of her early work, The First Years 1967-1979 and a new English-language album, My Colouring Book. The singles "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" and "When You Walk In The Room" became big hits.
In the years since, her public profile has increased, even hinting at the possibility of an ABBA reunion some time in the future.

Agnetha Fältskog Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We let the past, the future disappear
Inside this moment.
We live and breathe as one,
Nothing can't become something,
Something can't become nothing,
We are
Tails from falling satellites,
Like fireworks you're breaking through
The love I feel, you feel it too.
Forget the world, let's stay inside
I know the perfect place to hide.
Only me and you
In this bubble made for two.
Caught in a blind spot,
We only got eyes for each other.
Some kind of madness I know.
But it's the way I feel.
Nothing can't become something,
Something can't become nothing,
We are
Rainbow skies, northern lights,
Tails from falling satellites,
Like fireworks you're breaking through
The love I feel, you feel it too.
Forget the world, let's stay inside
I know the perfect place to hide.
Only me and you
In this bubble made for two.
The tears inside your eyes
Multiply, become a river in me
Rainbow skies, northern lights,
Tails from falling satellites,
Like fireworks you're breaking through
The love I feel, you feel it too.
Forget the world, let's stay inside
I know the perfect place to hide.
Only me and you
In this bubble made for two.
In this bubble made for two.
The lyrics of Agnetha Fältskog’s song, Bubble, express the idea that time is irrelevant when we are in love. The first two lines, “Time means nothing here. We let the past, the future disappear,” suggest that the lovers are caught in the moment, and nothing else matters. The phrase “inside this moment” emphasizes that the present is all that matters to them. The next two lines, “We live and breathe as one. Nothing can't become something,” indicate that their love is pervasive and all-consuming, such that even nothingness is filled with it. The repetition of “something can't become nothing” reinforces the idea that their love transcends all else.
When Fältskog writes “rainbow skies, northern lights,” she is describing spectacular natural phenomena that are synonymous with beauty and wonder. She also refers to “falling satellites,” alluding to something that is both wondrous and man-made. The line “like fireworks you're breaking through” could be interpreted as the lover shining brightly, like fireworks, and breaking through barriers. Fältskog then says, “the love I feel, you feel it too”, emphasizing the mutuality of their love. The lovers then retreat into their own bubble, as if shutting out the rest of the world. The final line “in this bubble made for two” encapsulates the idea that they are the only two people that matter.
The third stanza is particularly poignant, as Fältskog describes the tears inside the lover’s eyes multiplying and becoming a river in herself. This could be interpreted to suggest that when two people love each other, they share not only the good times, but also the difficult times. The repetition of the earlier stanzas reinforces the idea that their love is all-encompassing, and that they are each other’s everything.
