"Imagination" is a song by British musician Belouis Some, from his 1985 debut album Some People. Upon its first release as a single in the UK in 1985, the song only managed to chart at No. 50, but a re-release proved more successful, hitting the top 20 and peaking at No. 17 on the UK Singles Chart in February 1986.[3] In the U.S., the song reached No. 88 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 1985.

On 10 October 1994, a remix of the song by British electronic band the Beloved (Jon and Helena Marsh) was released as a single on Some's own label Some Music LTD.[4] It reached number 95 on the UK Singles Chart in March 1995.[3]
