"I Owe You Nothing" is a song by British boy band Bros. Written by Nicky Graham and Tom Watkins and produced by Graham, the song was originally released as their debut single in 1987 but failed to chart. In 1988, it was remixed and re-released by CBS following the success of their breakthrough single "When Will I Be Famous?". 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. The song additionally peaked number 2 in Ireland whilst reaching the top 10 in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa, and Switzerland. In the United States, the song reached number 10 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart. The single has sold nearly 300,000 copies in the UK as of June 2013.[1]

Critical reception

Bob Stanley from NME wrote, "This is a fair old jiggler closer in origin to "When Will I Be Famous". Though Matt tries his hardest he can't quite summon up the GROOOUURRGHHH! that made 'Drop the Boy' so, umm, memorable."[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".[3]
