Head On is the debut album by English-based electronic duo Super Collider, consisting of producers Christian Vogel and Jamie Lidell. It was released in May 1999 by Loaded Records. The collaboration emerged in 1998 when the two producers began sharing the same studio in Brighton and soon began creating music together. Their initial work together produced the songs "Under My Nose" and "Darn (Cold Way O' Lovin')", both included on the album, but believing them to be too stylistically orthodox, the duo pursued a more distinctive sound for the remaining material.

Taking influence from funk music, in particular the music of Sly Stone, Head On is an experimental techno record that combines Vogel's abstract production with the funk influences and Lidell's soulful but effects-heavy singing. Co-produced by the duo, the album received acclaim from music critics, who drew attention to its influences and production. "It Won't Be Long" and "Take Me Home" were issued together as a double A-side single.
