"En karusell" was originally released in 1972 as a 7" single in Sweden which was sung in Swedish and also in Japan where the song was titled "En Carousel" and sung in English. The song was included as the A-side song and was credited to Björn & Benny. Future members of ABBA Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad did backing vocals on the song but were not credited for their contribution.The B-side song on the Swedish release was titled "Att finnas till" and the B-side song on the Japanese release was titled "Lycka".[1]

"En karusell" failed to enter Svensktoppen (a popular top ten chart for songs in Swedish) [citation needed] but the B-side of the single "Att finnas till" lay on that chart for three weeks.

The song was covered by Anita Lindblom in 1972 and by Birgitta Wollgård & Salut in 1975.

In English "Att finnas till" translates to "to exist".
