Interesting facts and trivia about If It Wasn't For The Nights. By Songfacts®.

This song is a reflection of Björn Ulvaeus's bleak state of mind during the end of his marriage to fellow band member, Agnetha Fältskog. "There were times that last autumn I was with Agnetha that I had those nights myself," he told The Guardian in 2014. "My lyrics were often based around fiction, but that must have been where that one came from."

Originally the song was earmarked to be be the lead single for Voulez-Vous, but after "Chiquitita" was finished, the plans were shelved and it became only an album track.
