You can dance, you can jive, or you can have the time of your life and watch a magnificent trailer featuring the songs of Swedish megagroup ABBA. Your call.

That’s right, Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again has finally blessed us with a trailer for the sequel we didn’t know we needed, and it’s going to be a perfect escapist romp just in time for summer. For those unfamiliar with the joys of the original Mamma Mia, the sequel will do double-duty by updating us on what’s going on with Sophie (Amanda Seyfried) and Sky (Dominic Cooper) as they announce their pregnancy to family and friends on their Greek island, as well as turning back time with flashbacks to see how Donna (Lily James as the younger version of Meryl Streep‘s character) made her way to the island to begin with. And don’t worry, the three daddies (Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, and Stellan Skarsgård) will be there, back in the present day, as well as dancing queen Cher as Sophie’s feisty grandmother. Yes! Cher!

Suspiciously missing from a lot of the action, though? Streep herself, which is making people question whether her character was killed off for the sake of a “full circle” narrative. (Note the various clues in the trailer, such as Sophie saying she doesn’t know how “to do this by myself” or only referring to Donna in the past tense.) Though it seems only time will tell if we’ll actually be saying farewell to this mamma (mia).

See that girl, watch that scene in the trailer below, as it’ll be a while until it finally reaches theaters—July 20, to be precise. My, my, how can you resist this!
