"Voulez-Vous" é o sexto álbum de estúdio do ABBA. Lançado em 23 de abril de 1979, ele liderou as paradas em toda a Europa e chegou ao Top 10 em países como Canadá, Nova Zelândia e Austrália. Nos Estados Unidos, tornou-se o terceiro álbum do ABBA a chegar ao top 20.

 

Embora o álbum seja orientado para o disco como um todo e inclua os singles uptempo " Voulez-Vous / Angeleyes " e " Does Your Mother Know ", também inclui o single de sucesso baladas " Chiquitita " e " I Have A Dream ". " Summer Night City " foi a primeira música das sessões a ser lançada (como single em 9/78), mas acabou sendo deixada de fora do álbum.

 " Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!", gravada após o lançamento do álbum, foi posteriormente incluída como uma faixa bônus nas versões em CD do álbum. O álbum foi lançado pela primeira vez em CD em 1984.

 

As sessões de fotos para a capa foram feitas na Discoteca Alexandra, uma conhecida casa noturna em Estocolmo no final dos anos 1970 e nos anos 1980.
