Agnetha Fältskog – I Won’t Let You Go (UK 12″)

BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985

“I Won’t Let You Go” is the first single from Agnetha Fältskog’s second English solo-album Eyes of a Woman. The song was composed by Fältskog with lyrics by producer Eric Stewart, formerly of the group 10cc.

The track reached the Top 10 in Sweden and Belgium, but due to the lack of promotion, “I Won’t Let You Go” proved unsuccessful in Britain, where it peaked at #84.

The B-side of the single, “You’re There”, was also written by Fältskog and was the last song written by her to be released until the song, “I Keep Them On The Floor Beside My Bed” which was the closing track on her 2013 album, A.
