What was the first single released by British boy band Blue?

“All Rise” was the first single released by British boy band Blue.

The song was released in May 2001 and served as the title track of Blue’s debut studio album. It introduced the quartet of Antony Costa, Duncan James, Lee Ryan, and Simon Webbe to the British pop audience.

“All Rise” combines pop and R&B influences with a courtroom-themed lyric. The song reached number four on the UK Singles Chart, giving Blue an immediate commercial breakthrough and establishing its polished vocal-group sound.

The title is sometimes confused with One Love, Blue’s second album, or with “One Love,” a later single. Blue’s debut single was named “All Rise,” while the group’s early success also included “Too Close,” a cover version released later in 2001.
