Take On Me is a song by the Norwegian synth-pop band A-ha. The original version was recorded in 1984 and released in October of that same year. The 1985 international hit version was produced by Alan Tarney for the group's debut studio album, Hunting High and Low (1985). The original 1984 version "Take On Me" failed to chart in the United Kingdom, as did the second version in the first of its two 1985 releases. The second of those 1985 releases charted in September 1985, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in October. In the United States in October 1985 the single topped Billboard's Hot 100, no doubt bolstered by the wide exposure on MTV of director Steve Barron's innovative music video.
