Wikipedia article
"'Turn It Around'" is a song written by Dutch DJ and producer Carlo Resoort and featuring singer Alena Lova. Originally distributed on white label in 1998, the single was given a commercial release in 1999 with a new remix by the UK trance music act the Space Brothers (Ricky Simmonds and Stephen Jones). The Space Brothers remix features additional lyrics credited to Simmonds and Jones.
"Turn It Around" was a success in UK and European clubs. Over the course of October 1999, it reached its peak in three 'Music Week' dance charts: number one in the Cool Cuts Chart, number two in the Club Chart Top 40 and number six in the Pop Top 20. The song then peaked at number 14 in the UK Singles Chart in November 1999, selling nearly 25,000 copies in its first week. This was despite the lack of airplay on national radio, with the song reaching number 61 on the UK's radio airplay list for that week. It was added to BBC Radio 1's B-list.
Critical reception
'Music Week' described "Turn It Around" as an "anthemic trance track". Dave Fowler of 'Muzik' considered it to be a "trancey house number". He felt the release was unlikely to be as big as the Wonderboy label's recent release of Shaft's "(Mucho Mambo) Sway", but added that it was "set for positive mid-table success nonetheless".
Cover versions
In 2004, Dutch vocal trance group 4 Strings, founded by Carlo Resoort and Jan De Vos, released a version of "Turn It Around" from their album of the same name. It features Susanne Teutenberg on vocals and reached number 50 in the UK Singles Chart.
