"Move Closer" is a song by American singer-songwriter Phyllis Nelson that topped the UK Singles Chart in April 1985.

[1] The lyrics of "Move Closer" were based on a long-term love affair she had with a much younger man in Philadelphia, who was struggling to start his own computer business.

[2] The song was originally released in April 1984 but failed to chart, and was re-released in February 1985 after BBC Radio London started to play it.

"Move Closer" also benefited from extensive airplay on the hugely successful offshore pirate station, Laser 558.

[5] In 1994, it was reissued and returned to the UK Singles Chart, this time peaking at number 34, on the back of it being featured in an anti-perspirant television commercial.
