Due to the fact that Cher has appeared in the video song of ABBA, it looks that she is no stranger to the album. When she appeared in the video of the song “Mamma Mia”, she felt a bit nervous to be the part of iconic band song. While giving an interview to EW in a Facebook live session, the singer said that it is always difficult to perform in the songs of famous bands and she was intimidated initially.
She further said that she has a different voice which is much different than the girls. She said that she was worried about Benny Andersson (ABBA songwriter), whether he would like it or not. The singer said that she never wanted to sing it differently but she cannot hide her voice as it is different from others.
Cher released her last album “Closer to the Truth” back in 2013 and that was her 25th album of the career. “Woman’s World” was among the famous songs from that album and the song also topped Hot Dance Club Songs chart in the US. The reason why Cher decided to do all the songs of ABBA cover was her performance of “Fernando” in “Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again”. Cher said that she had a lot of fun in the movie and then decided to do all the songs of the album.

While giving an interview to TODAY, the American singer said that after performing “Fernando”, I felt so jubilant that I decided to do all the cover song which will be available from September. In the movie “Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again”, the 72-year-old singer played the role of Amanda Seyfried and in that movie, she changed the song “Fernando” to her own style. The singer posted prayer hand emojis on Twitter and then said that the album will be released in September.
Kathie Lee Gifford who performed with Cher said that it interesting to see who Cher will play the role of Streep’s mother. While discussing her role in the movie with TODAY, Cher said that she enjoyed the role a lot and it was one of the best adventures of her life. Everyone was so generous and kind, she further added. She further said that when she was doing “Fernando”, Meryl was hiding.
