"The Queen of Hearts" is a song by Agnetha Fältskog, released as a single in 1998 to That's Me. The song was not a brand new recording (Agnetha withdrew from public view in 1988) but a demo that was recorded in 1981. It was a gift for all fans who had not had the chance to hear a new song from their favourite artist for ten years. The single peaked at #53 in the Swedish Singles Chart.^[1]

Originally this song was a Swedish song called "När du tar mig i din famn" (When You Take Me in Your Arms), which was recorded in 1979 as part of the compilation Tio år med Agnetha.

The single also featured the songs "One Way Love", "I Won't Let You Go", and "Eyes of a Woman" from the 1985 album Eyes of a Woman.

The song was licenced from Sony Music Sweden as the original version was released on the 1979 compilation Tio år med Agnetha, which wrapped up her solo career with what was then CBS Cupol.

Getty Kaspers, former lead vocals of the Dutch band Teach-In, recorded a version of the song in Dutch, titled "De Eerste Liefde Is Een Feest".
