According to Madonna, she approached Andersson and Ulvaeus by sending her “emissary to Stockholm with a letter and the record imploring them, telling them how much I worship their music; telling them it was a homage to them, which is all true”. Andersson and Ulvaeus quickly gave their permission. They stated, “‘Hung Up’ is really good. If it wasn’t any good we would not have said yes. It is a wonderful track - 100% solid pop music.” Andersson and Ulvaeus asked for co-writer credits and a percentage of the profits.
