The original version of the song can be found on the band's 1988 debut album, Push.

"I Owe You Nothing" was Bros's sole UK number-one single, spending two weeks at the top in June 1988.

In the United States, the song reached number 10 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart.

[1] Bob Stanley from NME wrote, "This is a fair old jiggler closer in origin to "When Will I Be Famous".

"[2] In a review published in Smash Hits, Sylvia Patterson described the song as being "a very smart n'speedy disco fizzler and it's quite good".
