Originally named "I Can Do It", was the second single to be released from the album Voulez-Vous. The B-side was "Kisses of Fire", also taken from the album. "Does Your Mother Know" was recorded in February 1979 and released as a single in April of that year. Written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, the song is something of a pastiche to 1950s/early 1960s-style rock and roll and touches on the subject of a man responding to the flirting of a much younger girl. This was the only single to feature Björn Ulvaeus on lead vocals.
"Does Your Mother Know" was another sizable ABBA hit, hitting #1 in Belgium and reaching the top 5 in Great Britain, Ireland and the Netherlands. It was also a top 10 hit in Australia, Canada, West Germany, Rhodesia) and Switzerland. In the United States, "Does Your Mother Know" would become ABBA's penultimate Top 20 hit, reaching #19.
