She recorded the song with Yazz and the Plastic Population. Meanwhile, producers Coldcut\u2014the duo of Jonathan More and Matt Black\u2014crafted its energetic sound. The track blends dance-pop with the rising acid house style. As a result, it captured the spirit of late-1980s club culture. The song also reimagines a 1980 soul recording by Otis Clay. However, Yazz\u2019s version transforms the original into an uplifting dance anthem.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after release, \u201cThe Only Way Is Up\u201d became one of 1988\u2019s biggest hits. It reached number one in the UK for five weeks. In addition, it topped charts in Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, and New Zealand. The track later appeared on Yazz\u2019s debut album, Wanted. The album mixes soulful vocals with house rhythms and pop hooks. Therefore, \u201cThe Only Way Is Up\u201d sets the tone for the entire record. Other singles, such as \u201cStand Up for Your Love Rights,\u201d follow the same positive dance-floor energy.<\/p>\n<p>The video reflects the song\u2019s joyful spirit. It features colorful street scenes and lively performance moments. Moreover, its upbeat imagery mirrors the optimism in the lyrics. Over time, the track became a lasting pop culture favorite. For example, it later inspired the title of the reality TV series The Only Way Is Essex. Today, the song still represents the late-80s dance explosion. Consequently, the video remains a vibrant snapshot of that era\u2019s sound and style.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"310\" data-end=\"847\">Why stop with \nYazz&#8217;s underground music video?
