It has been pointed out, (elsewhere), that the short 'snippet' of Music exactly fits the Title of 'I Still Have Faith In You'. It is speculated, that the Music is part of the Intro.

Robbie -- ABBA Recorded the 1st 2 New Songs in June 2017 - over 4 Years ago. They told the World about them on Friday 27th April 2018 - over 3 Years ago. It has long been hinted, that there are now more than 2 New Songs. Only ABBA, and a few other People, know how many New Songs there are. Some say 5, (The BBC etc.). Some say 8. Some say an entire Album.
Regarding the 1st 2 'New' Songs. Bjorn says that 'I Still Have Faith In You', is 'Timeless'. It appears to be about ABBA themselves. So, that one will be slow to medium paced, I guess. The 2nd 'New' Song is 'Don't Shut Me Down', and that one is faster. Like a 1970's Pop Song. 'I Still Have Faith in You', is - most likely - the Song, that ABBA Release, when Friday 3rd September begins. Before the 'Age of Streaming', it would easily have been their 10th UK No.1 Single. Now, it is not even certain, if it can reach the Top 10. This is due to a lack of Streaming, holding back 'Old' Acts, in the Singles Chart.
Queen's last Single reached No.95. Madonna's stalled at No.87. That is how it is, these days. We will see if ABBA can over-come this, and have a Big Hit. A New ABBA Album would be a different matter - easily a No.1. Their 10th, in the UK. Queen got their 10th UK No.1 Album, last October.

Rubcale -- It is happening. There is to be some kind of 5 or 6 Hour ABBA 'Event', on Thursday 2nd September. It will 'Launch' at several Global Cities, at the same time. It ends at around 1 Minute to Mid Night, on the 2nd. At Mid Night, on Friday 3rd, at least 1 New ABBA Song will be Released - the 1st New ABBA Single, since 'Under Attack' in December 1982!
Further New ABBA Songs will follow. Maybe a New Album. The Venue for The ABBAtars is in London. It has a 3000 Seat capacity. There will be 8 Shows a Week. The Venue looks like it could be in the 'Star Trek' TV Series. All of these New ABBA Plans are called 'ABBA Voyage'. It is all true. Even the most cautious Fans realise that it is true. It is pointless to refuse to accept it, just because it has taken ages to - finally - happen. (All of the ABBA Groups on Face Book have accepted it. The days of doubt are over...). As you can see, The Venue for The ABBAtars is spectacular:LINK TO THE ABBA ARTICLE -- 27th AUGUSTlink

The English Language 'Ring Ring' had originally been released, in the UK, in October 1973. It failed to Chart. The 1974 version was a Remix - with a lot of Sax added. ABBA had wanted to release 'Honey Honey', as the UK follow-up to 'Waterloo'. Epic Records insisted, that it was better, to release the Remixed 'Ring Ring'. ABBA did so, and it stalled at No.32. In the meantime, The Male/Female Duo, Sweet Dreams, released a cover of 'Honey Honey'. It reached No.10 in the UK. ABBA were furious, that Epic had told them 'Ring Ring' would be a bigger UK Hit.

'Dress You Up' was not much of a Madonna Song, either. With 'Causing A Commotion' and 'Gambler'. I'd say they were the weakest 3 Madonna Singles of the 1980's...

The 2nd Film is doing very well indeed in the UK and Australia.
However, I can't see it making the almost £69 Million that Film 1 made in the UK.
I think that every Song in it should have had a big, spectacular 'Set Piece' with it, but only 3 or 4 of them did.
The Soundtrack may be No.2 for a 3rd Week, in the UK tomorrow, but its Sales are consistently lower than the 1st Soundtrack, which has sold over 1,540,000 in the UK.
Nor do I expect the DVD of Film 2 to come close to the DVD Sales of Film 1. That sold almost 1,670,000 in 1 Day in the UK, and almost 3.2 Million by the end of Week 1.
Also, a lot of ABBA Fans are angry that Benny and Bjorn allowed 'Kisses Of Fire' to be ruined in the Film. It is only partly rescued on the Soundtrack CD.
In the meantime, Benny and Bjorn now say that 'I Still Have Faith In You' by ABBA, will no longer be a Single in December. We now have to wait until 'early 2019'.
Lily James does an excellent job as Young Donna in 'Mamma Mia! 2'. I think that they had to kill off Meryl Streep, as she does not normally do Sequels, and she only agreed to play a small part in Film 2, due to that. So, she had refused to do much in Film 2. It was her decision - not the Director's or Writers...
