Can't Shake Loose

"Can't Shake Loose" is a song by Swedish singer Agnetha Fältskog from her seventh studio (and first english) album, Wrap Your Arms Around Me.

[1] The song was written by Russ Ballard, who also wrote the successful "I Know There's Something Going On" for Agnetha's ABBA colleague Anni-Frid Lyngstad (Frida).

[2] As usual, Fältskog did only limited promotion, although she appeared on American television in August 1983.

Agnetha filmed a promotional video for the track, in which she portrayed a worried and nervous girlfriend of a rich and powerful man, played by Mikael Rickfors.

The video is unusual for the time as Agnetha does not mime the lyrics to the song during the clip, with the exception of the "I don't want to stay here" bridge.
