"All Rise" is a song by English boy band Blue. It was released in 21 May 2001 as the lead single from their debut album of the same name. "All Rise" was co-written and produced by Norwegian production team StarGate, who went on to produce several of Blue's biggest hits from 2001 to 2003. The song contains elements from the theme from The Pinchcliffe Grand Prix (1975), composed by Bent Fabricius-Bjerre. StarGate had previously used the sample in their production of "Not for the Dough" (1999) by Norwegian hip hop group Multicyde.

"All Rise" became a hit worldwide, peaking at number four in the United Kingdom, number three in Australia, number one in New Zealand, and number 15 in Ireland. The single has received a platinum certification in the UK for sales and streams of over 600,000 units and also went gold in New Zealand. In Australia, the song received a platinum certification for sales exceeding 70,000 copies. The band performed the song during the first series of The Big Reunion in 2013.[2]
