"Go All the Way" is a song written by Eric Carmen of American rock group the Raspberries, from their 1972 self-titled debut album. Released as a single in July 1972, the song reached the Top 5 on three principal US charts: number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100,[6] number 4 on Cashbox,[7] and number 3 on Record World. The single sold more than 1.3 million copies, earning the band their only certified Gold Record.[8] It was their second single release and their biggest US hit.
Because of its sexually suggestive lyrics, "Go All the Way" was banned by the BBC, limiting its success in the United Kingdom.[9][10]
