Republica | Ready to Go (1996)

"Ready to Go" is a song by English alternative rock band Republica, released as a single on 15 April 1996.

The original recording was not included on the band's debut album, Republica – two other versions of the song, the US mix[2] and the original mix, were included. This version was later featured on a greatest hits collection, Ready to Go: The Best Of.


The single originally reached number 43 on the UK Singles Chart in April 1996. Later in the year, the song began to gain popularity outside the United Kingdom, charting in Australia, Canada, and the United States. It was remixed and rereleased in the United Kingdom in February 1997, when it reached a new peak of number 13. This rerelease also saw the song chart for the first time in western Europe, reaching number 19 in the Netherlands and number 26 in Ireland.


German DJ Tomcraft released a cover of the song in 2007, and another version was released on 7 June 2010. It continues to be successful in the UK, where it is still frequently featured in advertisements and on TV.
