The group's popularity grew and they were soon required to perform on week nights as well as Saturday and Sunday.
Agnetha had left school several months before, and was working during the day as a switchboard operator. She found it difficult to reconcile her two occupations. She would often return home at 5am in the morning, and have to be in the office by 8am, and soon began to suffer dizzy spells at work.
Agnetha recalls "One day I was so tired at work that I fainted and was sent home. My mother realised I was worn out and told me 'Now you've got to choose, you can't carry on like this!'. I too was well aware of that so I gave in my notice." Without hesitation, Agnetha opted for music.
A new life began for the young girl. She chose a repertoire of ballads and romantic songs, like her idol Connie Francis. Following the break-up with her boyfriend Bjorn Lilja, Agnetha sat down at the piano and almost instantly composed 'Jag Var Sa Kar' (I Was So In Love).
When she tried out her own songs with the band, the audience was very enthusiastic. Bert Enghardt decided to send a casette to Little Gerhard, a Swedish ex-rocker who had become a talent scout for the record company CBS-Cupol. Among the songs included was 'Jag Var Sa Kar'. The rest is history, Agnetha was on the road to stardom.
This video shows the promotional card used by Bernt Enghardt's band. Agnetha was then known as Agneta. Here's what it said on the card:

The only problem -
She is too good!
Listen to our recordings.
Disillusion is the only Abba album song written by Agnetha, with lyrics by Bjorn. It was recorded on March 14 1973 at Metronome Studio Stockholm, just a few weeks after Agnetha gave birth to their first child Linda. The song certainly doesn't shame its inclusion on the album Ring, Ring (1973). Lyrics:
Changing, moving, in a circle
I can see your face in all of my dreams,
Smiling, laughing, from the shadows
When I hear your voice I know what it means,
I know it doesn't matter just how hard I try,
You're all the reason for my life,
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down,
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now that's all I have
Wishing, hoping, chasing shadows
Did I see your face somewhere in the crowd,
Thinking, wondering, what you're doing
I can't stop myself from crying out loud,
They say my wound will heal and only leave a scar,
But then, they never shared our love
Disillusion, disillusion's all you left for me
How can I forget you when my world is breaking down,
You're all I had, you're all I want
Disillusion, disillusions now that's all I have
Disillusion, disillusions now that's all I have. (Less)

Sven Mellander: (More) ABBA interview in Nöjesmaskinen(Entertainment machine) part 1
Translation:
Sven Mellander: You're here tonight because you're celebrating your tenth anniversary.
Stina Dabrowski: Didn't you celebrate the 10th anniversary last year?
Björn: Yes, but I don't think that was right. Maybe the others think differently?
SM: Why not?
Björn: "Ring Ring" is our first real song when we decided to work together. Benny and I started writing the song ten years ago.
Benny: On the other hand our first single "People Need Love" came earlier. We had already worked together as "Festfolket" and doing cabaret shows at restaurants and so on.
SM: And you released your single in USA under the name...
Frida: ... Björn & Benny & Svenska Flicka
Björn: It was in Japan...
SM: But the name ABBA came with "Ring Ring"?
Frida: Was it so, really?
Benny: ABBA first came in 1974 with "Waterloo".
Frida: Yes, that's right.
Benny: We've been working together for 11 - nearly 12 years now.
Frida: It can be the 10th, 11th or 12th anniversary.
Björn: It's OK to be confused.
Benny: We haven't celebrated anything anyway.
SM: It is high time you did.
SD: Now can we take a look at the last 10 years? Please start the film so we can see how you looked like ten years ago.
Benny: Just as today.
(Clip of "Waterloo" at The Eurovision Song Contest in 1974)
Agnetha: Oooh...
SM: Why do you say "oooh", Agnetha?
Frida: Did I have a wig on there?!
(Clip of "Mamma Mia" from 'Made in Sweden for Export' from 1975)
Benny: That's one of our first videos.
Frida: We did 4 videos...
SM: How does it feel to see these videos?
Agnetha: It feels like 7 years later
(Clip of the video of "Dancing Queen" from 1976)
Frida: That must be in Australia?
Benny: No, it's Stockholm -- Alexandra Disco.
Frida: Oh yes, that's right...
Benny: I was more handsome on this video.
(Clip of "Chiquitita" from 'ABBA in Concert' from 1979)
Benny: That's from our most recent tour..
SM: When you listen to the songs you can say: oh this is this one and this one and all are hits.
Benny: We've done quite many songs which are still good.
SM: Can you still remember the lyrics?
Agnetha: Oh yes, they come directly...
Björn: I don't remember most of them...
Frida: When you started singing a song so you continue only and the lyrics come automatically...
Björn: The same lyrics all the time... (laugh)
SM: Which is the best ABBA song?
Benny: It is very difficult to say...
Agnetha: We like different songs each of us...
Benny: We have to pick up some of them...
SM: Please, do it.
Agnetha: My favorite is "The Winner Takes It All"
Benny: I cannot choose one song only -- I agree that "The Winner Takes It All" is very good.
SD: It must have happened a lot of crazy things during this period... Frida...
Frida: Oh, it was a stupid thing that happened on our tour -- which year was it?...
Björn: 1977.
Frida: Yes 1977. We did a mini musical which lasted about 20 minutes during the concert. Agnetha and myself had a little different clothes then and blonde wigs. We were of course in a horrible hurry when we changed. When we put the wigs we had to trample down the hair and put a stocking on it. Then you have to fasten the wig with needles so it sits stable on your head. But it was so hurry that I did not manage to do it... So we had a rockier number and we danced and shaked our heads and ... my wig landed on the floor... It was not fun for the audience to see me without hair with the stocking on my head. Then I tried to put the wig on my head but in a hurry I put it back to front... (laugh).
SD: Was it possible to continue after such a funny incident?
Bjorn: We had to. We laughed.
Benny: We wanted to create a special atmosphere with this musical but after this it was impossible.
SM: OK. Now something else. Frida has made her solo project this year and the boys are planning a musical. Tell us about it.
Benny: We've been talking about it for many years.
Björn: A journalist said to me some days ago: I found an article from 1970 where you say that you want to write a musical... But now it is for real. We have a contact with Tim Rice. We have met him three times.
SM: Are you not afraid of such a big project.
Benny: No, not at all. I think that we three manage it.
SD: How long time can it take to write a musical.
Björn: We don't know. It is very difficult to say. We can get a kick and it can go fast. But it can take a long time as well.
Benny: It takes one year to do an ABBA album including holidays and other things. Here is double so much to do...
SM: But there is something else which is hot today. Benny can you start the video? (Less)
