In 1980, Fältskog and her then 7-year-old daughter Linda recorded Nu tändas tusen juleljus, a Swedish Christmas album.
Released in 1981, it was Fältskog's first Swedish-language recording for the Polar Music label after she left CBS-Cupol.
It peaked at No.
6 on the Swedish album chart in January 1982, and has since been re-released on CD by Polar Music/PolyGram/Universal Music.
The album title is derived from one of Scandinavia's best-known Christmas carols, "Nu tändas tusen juleljus" ("Now a thousand Christmas candles are lit").

In 1983, Fältskog released the solo album Wrap Your Arms Around Me, which achieved platinum sales in Sweden.
This included the single "The Heat Is On", which was a hit in Europe and Scandinavia.
It reached number-one in Sweden and Norway and peaked at number-two in the Netherlands and Belgium.
In the United States, Fältskog earned a Billboard Top 30 hit with "Can't Shake Loose".
The title track of the album was another successful hit, topping the charts in Belgium and Denmark, reaching the Top 5 in the Netherlands, South Africa and Sweden, and the Top 20 in Germany and France.
The album sold 1.2 million copies worldwide.
The album was produced Mike Chapman, also known for his work with The Sweet, Mud, Suzi Quatro, Blondie, Pat Benatar and The Knack.

Fältskog's second English-language solo album, Eyes of a Woman (produced by Eric Stewart of 10cc), was released in March 1985.
It peaked at number two in Sweden (becoming a platinum seller).
The first single from the album was her self-penned "I Won't Let You Go".
Her duet with Ola Håkansson, "The Way You Are", was a number-one hit in Sweden in 1986 and was awarded double platinum status.

In early 1987, Fältskog recorded a Swedish-language album, Kom följ med i vår karusell (Come Join Us on Our Carousel) with her son Christian and a children's choir.
The single "På Söndag" ("On Sunday") received significant airplay on Swedish radio and even made the Swedish Top 10, unique for a song made for kids to enjoy.

Also in 1987, Fältskog released her third English-language solo album, the Peter Cetera-produced I Stand Alone, which also included the Billboard Adult Contemporary duet with Cetera, "I Wasn't the One (Who Said Goodbye)", as well as the European charting singles "The Last Time" and "Let It Shine".
The album was extremely successful in Sweden, where it spent eight weeks at number-one and was awarded double-platinum status.
Shortly after some minor European promotion for the album in early 1988, Fältskog withdrew from public life and halted her music career.
In 1996, she released her autobiography, As I Am, and a compilation album featuring her solo hits alongside some ABBA classics.

In 2004, Fältskog made a successful comeback, with the release of the critically acclaimed album My Colouring Book, containing covers of songs that had the most impact on her teenage years in the 1960s.
It debuted at number-one in Sweden (achieving triple-platinum status), and was a Top 10 hit in Denmark, Finland and Germany.
It also became Fältskog's second solo album to reach the UK Top 20, peaking at number 12.
The single "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind" (a cover of the song recorded by Cilla Black) became Fältskog's biggest solo hit in the UK, reaching number 11, while peaking at number-two in her native Sweden.
A second single, "When You Walk in the Room", was released but met with less success.
In January 2007, Fältskog sang a live duet on stage with Swedish singer Tommy Körberg at the after party for the final performance of the musical, Mamma Mia!,
in Stockholm, at which Andersson and Ulvaeus were also present.

In May 2013, Fältskog released a solo album entitled A through Universal International.
In a promotional interview, Fältskog explained that the album was unplanned and it was after she heard the first three songs that she felt that she "had to do this [record the album]".
She also revealed that she completed singing lessons prior to recording the album, as she felt her throat was "a bit rusty".
