U.O.Me is the third single by the Dutch girl group Luv', released in early 1978 by Philips Records. It appears on the 1978 debut album, With Luv' and is considered as Luv's real breakthrough in Benelux. This record is also credited as U.O.Me (You Owe Me), U.O.Me (Welcome to Waldolala) or U.O.Me (Theme from Waldolala).

Background

Record producer Hans van Hemert was commissioned by VPRO channel to write the theme song for a TV series, Het is weer zo laat! (aka "Waldolala").[1] Assisted by Piet Souer, he composed "U.O.Me (Welcome To Waldolala)" which was recorded by Luv'. Het is weer zo laat! featured the female trio performing the theme song during the opening credits.

U.O.Me was considered Luv's first real mainstream success. Its Disco-Carnival sound changed from the pop arrangements of the two previous singles (My Man and Dream, Dream). This track was inspired by A far l'amore comincia tu, the 1977 European hit performed by Raffaella Carrà.

Commercial performance

Because of Luv's exposure on the Waldolala TV show, the song became an instant hit in the Netherlands and Flanders and reached the singles Top 5 in both countries. It sold 150.000 copies in Benelux.
