"I've Been Waiting for You" is a song by the Swedish recording group ABBA, recorded for their eponymous third studio album (1975). Agnetha Fältskog sings the lead vocals to the track, which was written by Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus, and Stig Anderson. It was released on 18 November 1974 as the album's second single, simultaneously with "So Long". In most countries, it was included as the B-side to "So Long". In Australia, both tracks were released as separate singles released simultaneously.
The song proved a moderate chart success, reaching number 49 on the Australian Kent Music Report chart; it would actually chart higher than "So Long", which did not enter the Kent Music Report at all. The track was released in New Zealand in 1977 following the group's success there, and peaked at number eight on the NZ Singles Chart. The cassette version of the album contains an extended version of the song that repeats the third verse and chorus.
Like most of ABBA's hits, the song was covered in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. In 2025, the song was re-released along with "Lay All Your Love on Me" as a limited edition heart-shaped vinyl for Valentine's Day.
