"The Winner Takes It All" is a song recorded by the Swedish pop group ABBA. Released as the first single from the group's Super Trouper album on 21 July 1980, it is a ballad in the key of F-sharp major, reflecting the end of a romance. The single's B-side was the non-album track "Elaine".
"The Winner Takes It All", original demo title "The Story of My Life", was written by both Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson, with Agnetha Fältskog singing the lead vocal. The lyrics to the song were thought to mirror the divorce between Ulvaeus and Fältskog in 1979, similar to the 1981 song "When All Is Said and Done", in which Ulvaeus deals with the divorce between Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Benny Andersson in 1981.
Ulvaeus denies the song is about his and Fältskog's divorce, saying the basis of the song "is the experience of a divorce, but it's fiction. There wasn't a winner or a loser in our case. A lot of people think it's straight out of reality, but it's not". American critic Chuck Klosterman, who says "The Winner Takes It All" is "[the only] pop song that examines the self-aware guilt one feels when talking to a person who has humanely obliterated your heart" finds Ulvaeus' denial hard to believe in light of the original title.
This is an early mix of the song which to my knowledge was unknown until very recently (check the link below). I've filtered the center stage audio revealing a lot of interesting vocal layers that are buried in the final mix.

What do Angry Birds, Obama and Facebook have in common? They are all winners. Barack Obama first defeated the once mighty Hillary Clinton only to convincingly become the victor of the 2008 US elections. Angry Birds, a simple puzzle game out of Finland, became a worldwide brand rivaling icons as Mickey Mouse and Super Mario. And Facebook is the most popular social network in the world, nearing a billion users and valued at over 100 billions dollars. What these examples go to show is that if you win in the age of digital networks, you win big. Underlying the rapid rise of games, politicians and online platforms is the so-called 'winner-takes-all'-logic. Fueled by the rise of networked technologies once unknown people, brands or innovations can seemingly out of nowhere become worldwide phenom...

ABBA medley played with two accordions songs Mamma Mia, Money money, The winner takes it all
Every Released ABBA Song (a 10 minute chronology) Eight months in the making, this is an attempt to educate the masses. Not necessarily to convert people into fans, in fact, this is more for the semi-fans who insist on ignoring everything but the Gold compilation. Thanks mainly to tribute bands and the stage show Mamma Mia!, people are forgetting the true ABBA. Too much of their modern image revolves around the (deliberately) crazy costumes and happy-go-lucky lyrics. The real ABBA had so much variety. And so was conceived this chronology - it's the fairest and most interesting way to present the history of the foursome. Listen to their sound evolve from folk to synthpop via many others; note the experiments with reggae, funk, classical and techno. Watch their fashion and l...

Sing (Stephen Chow) is a mainland China country boy who arrives in Hong Kong to visit his Uncle "Blackie Tat" (Ng Man-tat). When Sing stays with his uncle and his friends in their apartment, Blackie soon learns of Sing's supernatural ability to see through objects and, later on, his ability to change playing cards by rubbing them. He takes advantage of this and turns Sing into the Dou Seng or the "Saint of Gamblers". After getting into a fight with several alleyway gamblers he meets the lovely Yee-mung (lit. trans: Beautiful Dream, but euphemistically as wet dream), a henchman for the "King of Gamblers", and becomes infatuated with her. Sing quickly becomes a rival to the King and must win his way through a world competition to prove his skill.

I don't wanna talk
About the things we've gone through
Though it's hurting me
Now it's history
I've played all my cards
And that's what you've done too
Nothing more to say
No more ace to play
The winner takes it all
The loser standing small
Beside the victory
That's her destiny
I was in your arms
Thinking I belonged there
I figured it made sense
Building me a fence
Building me a home
Thinking I'd be strong there
But I was a fool
Playing by the rules
The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
And someone way down here
Loses someone dear
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain.
But tell me does she kiss
Like I used to kiss you?
Does it feel the same
When she calls your name?
Somewhere deep inside
You must know I miss you
But what can I say
Rules must be obeyed
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
I don't wanna talk
If it makes you feel sad
And I understand
You've come to shake my hand
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
The winner takes it all
