"Tied Up" is a song recorded by English-born Australian singer Olivia Newton-John for her second greatest hits album Olivia's Greatest Hits Vol. 2 (1982). Written by John Farrar and Lee Ritenour, and produced by the former, the song was the second single released from the album, following " Heart Attack". "Tied Up" reached number 38 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
The song also features Tom Scott on horns, who also was the opening act for Newton-John's 1982 Physical Tour.
Billboard called it a "heavily textured production that's strong on bass drums and echoey vocal tracks." [1]
Ritenour also recorded the song for his 1982 album Rit 2, with Eric Tagg performing vocals.
