The album was picked as a "Lost Treasure" by the Smashing Pumpkins' frontman Billy Corgan. "She's one of my favourite singers of all time", he explained. "It's rare that a singer can hit super-high up the register and sound really good. When I look at the pop world today, I wish we had an ABBA. They had that right combination of fun, beauty, not taking it too seriously, but being deadly in the studio. Everyone's so goddamn serious these days."

Recorded mainly in Los Angeles and Malibu, California, I Stand Alone was produced by Peter Cetera, the former singer and bass guitar player with American rock band Chicago. He duetted with Fältskog on the track "I Wasn't the One (Who Said Goodbye)". The co-producer of the album was Bruce Gaitsch, with whom Fältskog was in a relationship at the time.

Fältskog made a very rare trip on an airplane to Los Angeles to record the album. After it was completed, she did not fly again for years due to her much-publicised fear of flying. She did, however, admit that the flight was worth it. The resulting musical style of the album was very different from the European sounds of Faltskog's previous two albums, and reflected the West Coast American influences of the producers.

It comes down to this
Your little white secrets are coming between us
Sooner or later they'll turn into little white lies
And I know, yes I know, that your passion's unspoken
Out of control, you think nobody knows.

I understand you, I understand your little white secrets
I understand you, your strength and your weakness
I wanna know, wanna know you, inside out
Every little thought that you're ashamed about
I understand you, I understand your little white secrets.

Oh Baby go easy,
You don't have to make me your judge and your jury
It's bad enough when you come down so hard on yourself
And I'll still be the one, when you're scared and you're broken
All alone in the dark, let me shake you right down to your heart.

I understand you, I understand your little white secrets
I understand you, your strength and your weakness
I wanna know you, inside out
Every little thought that you're ashamed about
I understand you, I understand your little white secrets.

Burning dreams hiding in your pillow
Makes it hard when you try to live so perfectly
Pretty eyes, dark as a shadow
What do you think I'll see?
Baby, you're just like me...
I understand you.

I wanna know you, inside out
Every little thought that you're ashamed about
I understand you, (yes, I understand) your little white secrets
I understand you, (yes, I understand) your little white secrets
Ohh...(yes, I understand)
Yes, I understand you
Oh yes, I understand you
Yes, I understand you....#abbavoyage #abba2shay #2shaymcn #abba
