Benjamin's is a programme hosted by singer and song-writer Benjamin Ingrosso (son of Swedish singer Pernilla Wahlgren who was part of the choir for Klinga Mina klockor), where famous guests are treated to both good food and musical performances.

In the season finale of the third series, Björn was a guest together with Swedish screenwriter and director Edward af Sillén and Swedish model and actress Emma Wiklund.

At the end of the programme, there was a world première for Ingrosso's new song which he had co-written with Björn, I Had It All And Let It Go. The song came about after Ingrosso sent Björn a voice memo with a melody to which Björn replied that he was happy to write a text for the music.  Björn listened intently as the song was performed.

I Had It All And Let it Go
Benjamin Ingrosso & Björn Ulvaeus

I had it all and let it go
I'm a man who's come to know
The loving warmth that he remembers
As having come from dying embers

The images that I recall
Perhaps they don't resemble yours at all
I spoke too loud, I ran too fast
Until you gave up at last

And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go
Now all our friends know that you're gone
They're telling me, life must go on

They ask me out and I say never
I have no interest whatsoever
Cause I'm a bore who may as well
Stay locked insidе his dreary prison cell

The pеrfect place for such a fool
Without you my life is cruel
And it hurts to know
I had it all and let it go

I guess I'll learn to live again
And I'll find a way to cope and then
As if it wasn't all about you
I'll meet the world again without you

Those dizzy heights, I call it bliss
And now to cope is all there is
Oh god, dear god, I miss you baby
It hurts to know
I had it all and let it go.
