"Another Step (Closer to You)" is a song from the Kim Wilde album Another Step, performed as a duet with Junior Giscombe. It was released as the third single from the album.
Wilde co-wrote the song with Steve Byrd, who originally sang the male part on the demo. However, they decided the vocals would be better suited to someone with a more soulful voice and chose Giscombe. "Another Step" was not originally intended for release as a single; however, when trying to follow up " You Keep Me Hangin' On", producer Ricki Wilde decided that it was the best selection from the album, but needed remixing first. He kept the original vocals and a couple of the overdubs, but completely re-recorded the rest of the song.
It became another top 10 hit for Wilde in the UK, peaking at No. 6. [2]
