With ABBA about to go quiet, Frida stepped out on her own with "I Know There's Something Going On", released on 6 August 1982 to lead off Something's Going On, her third solo album and the first she made in English. It was the first single she ever sang in English, and her first solo release of any kind since her take on "Fernando" in 1975.
Russ Ballard wrote it, and Phil Collins produced it, drums it and adds backing vocals, with Daryl Stuermer on guitar, Mo Foster on bass and J. Peter Robinson on keyboards. It topped the charts in Belgium and Switzerland and cracked the top ten in Australia and across a string of European countries. In America it climbed to number 13, and the year-end tally for 1983 ranked it the 20th-biggest seller on the Hot 100.
