"All Rise" is a song by English boy band Blue. It was released in 21 May 2001 as the lead single from their debut album of the same name. "All Rise" was co-written and produced by Norwegian production team StarGate, who went on to produce several of Blue's biggest hits from 2001 to 2003. The song contains elements from the theme from The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975), composed by Bent Fabricius-Bjerre. StarGate had previously used the sample in their production of "Not for the Dough" (1999) by Norwegian hip hop group Multicyde.

"All Rise" became a hit worldwide, peaking at number four in the United Kingdom, number three in Australia, number one in New Zealand, and number 15 in Ireland. The single has received a platinum certification in the UK for sales and streams of over 600,000 units and also went gold in New Zealand. In Australia, the song received a platinum certification for sales exceeding 70,000 copies. The band performed the song during the first series of The Big Reunion in 2013.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8lNnrGJV2c|title=BLUE SING 'ALL RISE' LIVE - THE BIG REUNION|via=YouTube|date=24 August 2013|url-status=live|archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211219/Z8lNnrGJV2c|archive-date=19 December 2021|access-date=17 January 2017}}{{cbignore}}

Background

The song uses a courtroom as a metaphor for revealing evidence of a significant other doing the narrator wrong. When the time came to release Blue's debut single, their record company said that it wanted to bring out "All Rise", which surprised the band themselves.{{cite news |last=Solomon |first=Kate |date=4 November 2022 |title=Blue: 'We didn't squander money. But we got shafted. We got let down' |url=https://inews.co.uk/culture/music/blue-interview-2022-new-album-heart-and-soul-boyband-noughties-comeback-1948010 |access-date=4 March 2023 |work=i |language=en |url-access=subscription}} Duncan James stated that Blue thought this was "the weakest song that we did", but then discovered that the track they recorded in the studio had been transformed, with the use of a harmonica{{cn|date=May 2025}} and an increased tempo. Antony Costa said that the production team had "completely flipped" the song.{{cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpb0XzqO0C0&t=5m25s|title=Blue at The Big Reunion (Season 1 Episode 7, broadcast on 14.03.13)|author=Blue Chronicles|via=YouTube|date=24 March 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140130101355/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpb0XzqO0C0|archive-date=30 January 2014|access-date=20 September 2021}}

Music video

The music video was filmed on 30 March 2001{{cite news|url=https://www.gaytimes.co.uk/culture/duncan-james-says-he-was-blessed-to-have-support-of-blue-after-coming-out/|title=Exclusive: Duncan James says he was 'blessed' to have support of Blue after coming out|last=Clark|first=Conor|website=Gay Times|date=20 June 2022|access-date=12 November 2022}} in a sparsely-furnished darkened room. The band sit on stools and walk around while ceiling lights shine down on them, and flash lights appear behind them, as they sing the song with microphones. The principal scene is intercut with shots of with individual band members in a brightly-lit room with silver poles.

Controversy

In 2007, Chinese vocal duo Phoenix Legend were accused of plagiarising "All Rise" for their hit song "On the Moon"/"Above the Moonlight", a claim disputed by the duo as the lyrics were written in 1999.{{cite web|url=http://www.china.org.cn/english/entertainment/200264.htm|title=On the Moon Accused of Plagiarism|website=www.china.org.cn|date=15 February 2007}}
