"Ögonen" is a song recorded by ABBA member, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, for her 1996 solo album, Djupa andetag.
The song was written by Anders Glenmark, who produced the album. It was intended for "Ögonen" to be a song that was "sexy, from a mature woman's perspective".[1] The final version of the lyrics was about the intimacy and sensuality of a couple which related to Frida's relationship with her husband Heinrich Ruzzo Prinz Reuss von Plauen.[1]
The single was released in October 1996,[1] with two remixes: one was the "Ögonen (Lemon Mix)" by John Amatiello and Martin Pihl and another, titled "Ögonen (Version)" by Glenmark.[2] Glenmark had originally asked Soundfactory to produce remixes for the songs on the album but due to their unavailability, this resulted in Glenmark producing the latter remix.[1] "Ögonen" spent one week in the Swedish charts, reaching No. 24.[3]
