"'Slow It Down'" is a song by British boy band East 17, released in April 1993 as the fourth single from the band's debut album, 'Walthamstow' (1993). It was a number one hit in Israel and peaked within the top 10 also in Lithuania. In Ireland and the UK, the single was a top 20 hit.
Critical reception
Music writer James Masterton wrote in his weekly UK chart commentary, "Feeling at last they may have found their niche, the aspiring teen sensations follow up the Top 10 succes of Deep with another pop/rap track in a similar vein. Whether the same thing twice will sell remains to be seen - it's a tactic rivals Take That have deliberately steered clear of."
Music video
A music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Chris Clunn and Lawrence Watson. It shows the band performing in front of a white backdrop. The video was later published on YouTube in August 2020.
