The Heat Is On (Agnetha Fältskog song)

"The Heat Is On" is a song written by Florrie Palmer and Tony Ashton, originally recorded by Australian singer Noosha Fox in 1979. It was recorded by Swedish singer Agnetha Fältskog for her seventh and debut English studio album, Wrap Your Arms Around Me (1983). Lyrically, the song features imagery of an escapade in a wild setting.

Fox's version of "The Heat Is On" was released as a single-only format through Chrysalis Records, but did not chart anywhere. Faltskog's version was released as the lead single from Wrap Your Arms Around Me in most countries, first released on 3 May 1983, by Polar Records. It topped the Swedish and Norwegian singles chart, becoming the first in her career. Throughout Europe, it received positive receptions during its chart inception. In the United Kingdom, it peaked at number 35, becoming her first single in that territory, running for seven weeks on that chart.
