Additional information

Live at Five was a news programme with a mix of current affairs and celebrity interviews. Live at Five eventually became the most-successful local programme in New York City, a feat that resulted in landing the show's cast on the cover of New York magazine.

Agnetha appeared as a guest on this show and was interviewed by Chuck Scarborough who had taken over at very short notice from the intended interviewer. A segment of the Can’t Shake Loose PROMO was shown.

Agnetha said to Aftonbladet about the interview: "Live interviews are always nerve-wracking. You never know what they might ask. I didn't expect questions like these. Earlier the magazines and radio stations that have interviewed me have mostly talked about the LP and my and ABBA's music. Then of course it's very jittery since it's in English. Imagine if I couldn't understand the first question!"
