'Chiquitita' proved to be one of Abba's bigger hits. It was featured in the
Music for UNICEF Concert, broadcast worldwide from the United Nations General Assembly in 1979. As a direct result of this event, Abba donated 50% of all royalties from the song to UNICEF in recognition of the "International Year of the Child". In 2014, all ABBA members agreed on increasing their donation to 100% of all royalties from the song to UNICEF. As of 2021, the song's royalties had raised $4.8 million for the charity.
The Japanese sleeve only adds a few Japanese characters, which makes it less original when compared to earlier releases.
