This song of hope features a large children's choir, making it the only ABBA song that has additional vocalists to the four members of the band. ABBA often performed this on stage with choirs from local schools.
Bjorn Ulvaeus said: "I have a dream was an attempt to modern folklore with that kid's choir. We have doubted long whether we would use that choir or not, and we were aware that critics would pick on us for that with the trends of the time. We didn't care and we did it. The choir goes well with the Italian-like melody and the lyrics sound positive." (from Abba Annual)
This reached #1 in Austria, Belgium, Switzerland and the Netherlands. It was not commercially released in the United States. ABBA were foiled from having a Christmas #1 in the UK by Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall (part II)."
