It was a complete departure from the type of music she had been recording; she had been recording dance and disco records, and decided to write her own record because, in her words, "not much music lets you dance close".[2] The lyrics of "Move Closer" were based on a long-term love affair she had with a much younger man in Philadelphia, who was struggling to start his own computer business. British successWhile "Move Closer" failed to make an impact on the US Billboard Hot 100, the song was hugely successful in the United Kingdom, where it peaked at the top of the UK Singles Chart, making her the first black woman to top the charts in Britain with her own sole composition.[3] The song was originally released in April 1984 but failed to chart, and was re-released in February 1985 after BBC Radio London started to play it. Move Closer also benefited from extensive airplay on the hugely successful offshore pirate station, Laser 558. The song began to climb the charts, taking 12 weeks to reach the top spot.[4] "Move Closer" remained on the UK Singles Chart for just over five months during 1985, becoming Britain's seventh biggest-selling song of the year.[5] and the 82nd highest selling single of the decade.[6] In 1994 it was reissued and returned to the UK Singles Chart, this time peaking at number 34, on the back of it being featured in an anti-persperant television commercial.[4] The song was also featured in the British film The Supergrass (1985). B-sideIn the UK, the B-side was "Somewhere in the City". Chart positionsThe song failed to make any impact on the American charts, but did chart in Europe, Australia and New Zealand during 1984 and 1985.
