Agnetha performs the third song from The Heat Is On Special in April 1983. This show was part of a European promotional tour for her first post Abba solo album, titled Wrap Your Arms Around Me. The album reached the higher regions of the chart across Europe, including No.1 in Sweden, Norway, Finland, Belgium and Denmark. Agnetha clearly enjoys performing this nice relaxed song. She gives a very confident performance, and has a strong backing lineup. Watch out for her late entrance at the beginning. When the band starts up without her, she has to quickly rush on stage, but joins in unflustered. Also watch how she smiles enticingly to the camera from 1:35 – 2:00, giving her trademark wink and flashing her eyes. As ever, Agnetha gives a gracious acknowledgement to her backing group at the end.
