"Wrap Your Arms Around Me" is the second single from former ABBA star Agnetha Fältskog's solo-album of the same name. The single featured an edit of the album version which was also included on the 12" single released exclusively in the UK.
"Wrap Your Arms Around Me" was Fältskog's second solo single after the "The Heat Is On". It reached number one in Belgium and number four in The Netherlands and two in South Africa, and was also a Top 10 hit in Norway (#5) and Poland (#9). It was the most successful single from the album in Ireland, besting the #28 position of "The Heat Is On" by reaching #15. By contrast, the song failed to reach the UK Top 40 (peaking at #44).
The single's B-side was another Tomas Ledin composition, "Take Good Care Of Your Children".
In 2009, the song was remixed as a nine-minute edit by Belgian dance music producer Villa.
