"'All Rise'" is a song by British boy band Blue. It was released in 21 May 2001 as the lead single from their debut album of the same name. "All Rise" was co-written and produced by Norwegian production team StarGate, who went on to produce several of Blue's biggest hits from 2001 to 2003. The song contains elements from the theme from 'The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix' (1975), composed by Bent Fabricius-Bjerre. StarGate had previously used the sample in their production of "Not for the Dough" (1999) by Norwegian hip hop group Multicyde.

"All Rise" became a hit worldwide, peaking at number four in the United Kingdom, number three in Australia, number one in New Zealand, and number 15 in Ireland. The single has received a platinum certification in the UK for sales and streams of over 600,000 units and also went gold in New Zealand. In Australia, the song received a platinum certification for sales exceeding 70,000 copies. The band performed the song during the first series of 'The Big Reunion' in 2013.

Background



The song uses a courtroom as a metaphor for revealing evidence of a significant other doing the narrator wrong. When the time came to release Blue's debut single, their record company said that it wanted to bring out "All Rise", which surprised the band themselves. Duncan James stated that Blue thought this was "the weakest song that we did", but then discovered that the track they recorded in the studio had been transformed, with the use of a harmonica and an upped tempo. Antony Costa said that the production team "completely flipped it".

Controversy



In 2007, Chinese vocal duo Phoenix Legend were accused of plagiarising "All Rise" for their hit song "On the Moon"/"Above the Moonlight", a claim disputed by the duo as the lyrics were written in 1999.
