Mio My Mio (song)

"Mio My Mio" is a Swedish children's song written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus (formerly of ABBA) with lyrics by Astrid Lindgren. It was the theme song for the 1987 film Mio in the Land of Faraway (Swedish: Mio, min Mio), which was based on Lindgren's novel of the same name.

The song is a ballad, melancholic and hopeful, reflecting the themes of loneliness, friendship, and courage present in the film and the book. It is sung from the perspective of the titular character, Mio, as he navigates the challenges of his fantastical journey.

"Mio My Mio" features prominently in the film's soundtrack and is considered one of Andersson and Ulvaeus's notable post-ABBA compositions. Its popularity extends beyond the film itself, becoming a well-known and beloved children's song in Sweden and other Scandinavian countries. The song has been covered by various artists over the years.
