"Too Close" was the second single lifted from UK boy band
Blue's debut album All Rise. The track is a cover version of US
R&B group Next's number one U.S. hit.
The track was released in August, 2001 and became their
first number one UK single produced by multi-platinum producer
Ray Ruffin (Anastasia/Ne-Yo). It also reached number five in
Australia and number seventeen in Ireland, and number one in
New Zealand, where the Next version had also been a number one
hit.
The song has received a Platinum sales status certification
for sales of over 600,000 copies in the UK.
