"If It Wasn't for the Nights" is a song by the Swedish recording group ABBA. The track was recorded for and included on their sixth studio album Voulez-Vous (1979). Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad both share lead vocals on the track, which was written and produced by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. The working title for the track was "Pandemonium". The song was initially planned as the lead single to Voulez-Vous. However, "Chiquitita" wound up being the lead single, and "If It Wasn't for the Nights" was scrapped as a single altogether, although it was later included as a B-side to "Super Trouper" in Japan.
