MOVIN' ON
MOVIN' ON was the first single to be released from the 'Nanas 6th studio album, PLEASE YOURSELF. Following the departure of third 'Nana Jacquie, the girls went back to SAW for this 6th album to be produced. Pete Waterman's initial idea was to have them sing ABBA-esque tracks, and to also call teh album ABBABANANA. Thankfully the album name didn't catch on, but you can distinctively hear Abba's influence on the tracks, especially this first one. The track was later covered by pop group STEPS, who's manager was also Pete Waterman, as an album track for their second album.
LYRICS

You know I�ll miss you, when you�re gone
And I can�t pretend that I know when our love started to go wrong

I know we planned to stay together, we just ran into stormy weather
We couldn�t see the dark clouds in the sky
(couldn�t see the dark clouds in the sky)
But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

We talked it over, we said it all
Who could say it would be this way, but the writing�s on the wall

And now the sun has finally set and this is where the story ends
We didn�t count upon a rainy day (didn�t count upon a rainy day)
But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

(I�m movin� on, I�m movin� on)

I know we planned to stay together, we just ran into stormy weather
We couldn�t see the dark clouds in the sky
(Couldn�t see the dark clouds in the sky)
But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

I�m movin� on

But I had no way of knowing and I don�t know where I�m going
But I�m movin� on

THE VIDEO

The video begins with the girls standing behind huge cardboard cutouts of dresses, similar to the cover of the single. They push the cutouts away to reveal they are wearing long, flattereing red dresses and perform the rest of the song as they descend down the staircase.

WATCH OUT: For Keren hitting Sara's arm on purpose on the staircase and Sara hitting her back!
