Tied Up is definitely one of my all time favourite ONJ songs and who doesn’t remember that HOT Greatest Hits album cover? In fact, it was the first song I ever tried to remix. Released around the same time as Heart Attack (which I like, but don’t love) it always gets me – probably due to the big chorus. Or maybe it’s because for years I didn’t know some of the actual lyrics and just made up the words. Remixing Tied Up (In Promises), it’s actual title, was a labour of love. When I say ‘labour’, I mean it. The core of the 2 mixes were finished a year ago…..but they were never quite right. Olivia fans can be very critical when one their favourites isn’t shown the respect it deserves so I’ve been very selective about putting them out until I was confident I could do them justice. My remixes are usually categorised as house (128bpm) and the Cahill mix reflects that but the Nth Degree mix really maintains the integrity of the song and with 3 breaks and a re-edited bridge, the track soars to its crescendo perfectly. I’ve avoided doing the big ONJ hits on purpose because my amateur skills weren’t up to the task, namely because there are no known Acapella versions of her songs and I just do this stuff in my spare time at home.

I hope you like them.

"Tied Up" was one of two new songs recorded for the 1982 (Double Platinum) greatest hits package titled Olivia's Greatest Hits Vol. 2. The song was the second single released from the album following "Heart Attack" (US #3), the other new track recorded for the package. "Tied Up" did not do quite as well as "Heart Attack", reaching #38 on the US Billboard singles chart. The song also features Tom Scott on horns who also was the opening act for Olivia's 1982 "Physical" World Tour.

The song was recorded by Stevie Nicks for her album Mirror, Mirror but the album was pulled and has never been released.
