lyrics

Songfacts®:

In this song, Frida has figured out that her man is cheating on her - she knows there's something going on and he will soon leave her. It was written by Russ Ballard, who was lead singer of the band Argent.
Frida is Anni-Frid Lyngstad from the band Abba. When Abba folded in 1981, Frida launched a solo career, explaining that she finally had a chance to spread her wings and sing with more power on her own. Something's Going On was her first English-language album, and this track proved to be her only hit.
Phil Collins produced this and played drums on the track. It was recorded at Abba's Polar Studios in Stockholm. >>>

Dan from UsI think she is awesome.
Llnb from TexasWho is the man playing her husband?
Christopher from IllinoisSomething’s Going On was not Frida’s first solo album - it was her third. Frida and Frida Ensam are her first and second albums retrospectively.
Dave from Dallas, TxIf the guitar on this song sounds familiar to you, its because its Daryl Stuermer... the same guitarist on all of Phil Collins' solo albums.
Esskayess from Dallas, TxThe album this was from had some very nice songs on it, all produced by Collins. The last, “Here We’ll Stay,” has a great duet with Frida and Collins. The CD or album can be found online if one pokes around a bit.
Ron from Auburndale, FlThis is an awesome song from Frida. Despite not entering the top 10, it gets quite a bit of airplay to this day. I actually hear it more than I hear any ABBA songs on the radio, perhaps with the exception of "Dancing Queen".
Jeff from Austin, TxThis is a great song. The bridge is so powerful. And she's belting it out like a champ.
Lester from New York City, NyRuss Ballard has written some great songs
Geir from Oslo, NorwayAnni-Frid Lyngstad has a Norwegian mother and a German father, who was a soldier of the German army during the second world war.

Don't Stop Believin'Journey

The "Don't Stop Believin'" lyric was inspired by Sunset Boulevard, making it perfect for the Rock of Ages musical.

One of the most successful cover songs is Fugees' "Killing Me Softly," a 1996 reworking of Roberta Flack's 1973 hit. Originally, Fugees wanted to change the title to "Killing Him Softly" and make it about the dangers of drug abuse.
