F.L.M. (song)

It was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman, and peaked at number seven on the UK Singles Chart.

[1] Due to Mel being diagnosed with a recurrence of cancer in June 1987, the duo did not appear in the promotional music video for the song.

Instead, a number of versions of the clip were compiled, variously using footage of the sisters' live performance of "F.L.M" and the music videos for "Showing Out (Get Fresh at the Weekend)" and "Respectable", with all cuts featuring a male actor playing the role of a detective, and string puppets resembling the duo.

[2] Kim Appleby said she was "devastated" by the finished video, having not been consulted on its contents, and only seeing it for the first time when it was aired on TV.

[11][12] On the Pan-Eurochart Hot 100 single charts established by the Music & Media magazine, it debuted at number 26 on 18 July 1987, reached number eight in its fourth week,[13] and totaled ten weeks on the chart.
