Chiquitita fue escrita por los miembros de ABBA, Benny Andersson y Björn Ulvaeus. La canción se lanzó en 1979 como un sencillo del álbum Voulez-Vous. La inspiración para esta canción vino de una visita a la ONU en 1978, donde decidieron contribuir a UNICEF. La canción habla de animar a un amigo que está pasando por momentos difíciles, lo que fue un enfoque temático común en muchas canciones de ABBA.
