"'''Lay All Your Love on Me'''", is a song recorded by Swedish pop group [[ABBA]] in 1980 for their ''[[Super Trouper (album)|Super Trouper]]'' album. It was released only as a [[12-inch single]] in 1981 in limited territories, rather than as a standard 7-inch record. At the time, it was the highest selling 12-inch record in UK chart history, where it peaked at number 7. "Lay All Your Love on Me" appears on the group's ''[[ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits]]'' collection.

''[[Slant Magazine]]'' placed it at number 60 on their list of the greatest dance songs of all time.<ref>''Slant Magazine'' [http://www.slantmagazine.com/features/article/100-greatest-dance-songs/P5 100 Greatest Dance Songs]</ref>

==History==
"Lay All Your Love on Me" is an electro-[[disco]] song penned by [[Benny Andersson]] and [[Björn Ulvaeus]], with [[Agnetha Fältskog]] singing lead. Recording began at Polar Music Studios in Stockholm on 9 September 1980, with the final mix of the song being completed on 10 October 1980.

"Lay All Your Love on Me" is known for a descending vocal sound at the end of the verse immediately preceding the refrain. This was achieved by sending the vocal into a harmoniser device, which was set up to produce a slightly lower-pitched version of the vocal. In turn its output was fed back to its input, thereby continually lowering the pitch of the vocal. Andersson and Ulvaeus felt that the chorus of the song sounded like a hymn, so parts of the vocals in the choruses were run through a [[vocoder]], to recreate the sound of a church congregation singing, slightly out of tune.<ref>Palm, Carl Magnus: ''ABBA – The Complete Recordings Sessions'', page 101. Verulam Publishing Ltd (13 October 1994). {{ISBN|0-907938-10-8}}. {{ISBN|978-0-907938-10-1}}.</ref> The song was not originally intended to be released as a single, but was issued in 12-inch form in the UK and a few other countries in 1981. "Lay All Your Love on Me" has since been much covered and now features in the ''[[Mamma Mia!]]'' musical that showcases many of ABBA's hits.

==Music video==
ABBA did not film a promotional video for "Lay All Your Love on Me", and so Epic hastily assembled a video by using excerpts from the existing ABBA videos for "[[Take a Chance on Me]]", "[[Summer Night City]]", "[[The Name of the Game (ABBA song)|The Name of the Game]]", "[[I Have a Dream (song)|I Have a Dream]]", "[[Voulez-Vous (song)|Voulez-Vous]]" and "[[The Winner Takes It All]]".

==Reception==
As "Lay All Your Love on Me" was not intended to be a single, it was not released until 1981, the year after it had been recorded. It was only after a [[remix]]ed version by Raul A. Rodriguez<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.discomusic.com/people-more/6864_0_11_0_C/ |title=Discomusic.com Profile of Raul Rodriguez |accessdate=5 December 2012}}</ref> - (aka C.O.D) of Disconet - had soared in popularity in nightclubs, that it topped the U.S. [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart (along with "[[Super Trouper (song)|Super Trouper]]" and "[[On and On and On]]").<ref>{{cite book |title= Hot Dance/Disco: 1974-2003|last=Whitburn |first=Joel |authorlink=Joel Whitburn |year=2004 |publisher=Record Research |page=15}}</ref> Therefore, the decision was made to release "Lay All Your Love on Me" in limited territories in 12-inch form, as opposed to the standard 7-inch record. It peaked at No.7 in the UK, becoming ABBA's lowest charting single since "[[I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do]]" in 1975. However, reaching No.7 in the charts was, at the time, the highest charting position achieved for a 12-inch only release in the UK. "Lay All Your Love on Me" also charted in Ireland (No.8), Belgium (No.14) and [[Germany]] (No.26).
