"You Take Me Up" is a song by the British pop group Thompson Twins. It was the third single to be taken from their 1984 album Into the Gap and released in the UK on 23 March 1984.[1] It was written by Tom Bailey, Alannah Currie, and Joe Leeway, and prominently features harmonica and a melodica solo. The single peaked at #2 in the UK, making it their highest chart position for a song, and spent eleven weeks on the chart.[2] In addition to the regular 7" and multiple 12" releases, Arista Records also released four different shaped picture discs for the single, three of which were part of a jigsaw that fitted together.
In the U.S., the single spent nine weeks on the Billboard 100, peaking at #44.[3] The promotional music video for this single was directed by Dieter Trattmann.
The B-side of the single was a non-album track titled "Passion Planet".
