"Here We'll Stay" is a song written by Tony Colton and Jean Roussel and first recorded by Sonia Jones for the UK pre-selection for the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest. The song was then picked up in 1983 by ABBA member Frida and Phil Collins and recorded as a duet from her album Something's Going On and a solo version was released as the final single from the album.
For the 1980 Eurovision Song Contest, the national selection show A Song for Europe was held at the BBC TV Studios in London on 26 March 1980. 12 songs were in the running to represent the UK, including "Here We'll Stay". However, the song finished in 11th place with two songs in joint first place: Prima Donna's "Love Enough for Two" and Maggie Moone's "Happy Everything". Prima Donna's song was selected to represent the UK at Eurovision and finished in third place. Sonia Jones's version of "Here We'll Stay" did not enter the UK Singles Chart.
