"Hasta Mañana", originally titled "Who's Gonna Love You?", is the fourth track on Swedish pop group ABBA's album Waterloo.
ABBA were not sure at first if they would use "Waterloo" at Melodifestivalen. Initially thinking "Waterloo" was too risky, their second choice of song was "Hasta Mañana", as they thought it was more in style with the previous Eurovision Song Contest winners. However, in the end they decided on "Waterloo".
