Take a Chance on Me is a song by the Swedish band ABBA, originally released in 1977 as the B-side to the single The Name of the Game. The song was later included on the album ABBA: The Album. The inspiration for the song came when Björn Ulvaeus was running, and the tck-a-ch rhythm formed in his mind. He came home and built the foundation of what would become one of ABBAs most famous songs.
