La historia
"Tiger" is a song by the Swedish pop band ABBA. The song was released on the 1976 album Arrival.
History
"Tiger" is written from the perspective of a threatening entity warning the listener of the dangers of the city: "People who fear me never come near me, I am the tiger". The exact meaning behind "Tiger" is debated, although most speculators agree "tiger" is used as a metaphor for dangerous aspects of city life. Some hypothesize the tiger represents a stalker or serial killer, while others believe the tiger symbolizes the harmful nature of illicit drugs.
The vocals for the song were sung by Agnetha Fältskog and Anni-Frid Lyngstad.

In the 1977 concert tours, the song was preceded by "the sound of helicopters booming over the speakers". ABBA also performed the song in the film ABBA: The Movie.

The song is featured during the final scene transitioning into end credits in the 2025 film Dust Bunny by writer-director Bryan Fuller.
