HISTORIC REVEAL: Madonna Personally Wrote to ABBA for Permission to Sample “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!” on “Hung Up” Pop icon Madonna once revealed that she wrote a heartfelt letter to the members of ABBA, humbly requesting permission to sample their 1979 hit “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)” for her 2005 single “Hung Up.” The Swedish supergroup, known for being highly protective of their catalogue, rarely allows sampling — and Madonna became only the second artist in history to receive their approval. The first was The Fugees, who were granted permission to use a portion of “The Name of the Game” for their 1996 track “Rumble in the Jungle.” ABBA’s decision marked a rare gesture of trust toward another global act, and Madonna’s “Hung Up” went on to become one of her biggest worldwide hits, blending disco nostalgia with modern pop brilliance — and reintroducing a new generation to ABBA’s timeless sound.
