Does Your Mother Know

This song is one of ABBA's very few to feature a male lead vocal; the band usually used a female lead or a double lead.

"Does Your Mother Know" which has no questionmark was written by the team of Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Running to 3 minutes 16 seconds, with Björn doing the singing and backed by "Kisses Of Fire," it was released in April 1979; overtly commercial even for ABBA, this had hit single written all over it, and it was hardly surprising it made #1 in the Belgian chart and the Top 10 in several other countries.

"Does your mother know you're out?" or "Does your mother know that you're out?" as in the song, is an expression sometimes used by a worldly wise older man to ward off the advances of Jailbait.
