"Touch Too Much" is the debut single by the British band Arrows sung by lead vocalist Alan Merrill, and composed by Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn. It was a top 10 hit on the UK Singles Chart, peaking at No. 8 in June 1974.[1] Merrill told Songfacts that the song was turned down by David Cassidy, Suzi Quatro and Sweet.[2]
The recording was produced by Mickie Most and was released on RAK Records, distributed by EMI.
"Touch Too Much" was Arrows' highest charting hit; it also reached No. 2 in the South African charts and was in the top 20 there for 15 weeks.[3] The song appeared on the soundtrack of the feature film The Look of Love, a 2013 biopic of Paul Raymond.[4]
The song was later covered by the bands Roman Holliday in the 1980s, and Hello in the 1990s.[citation needed]
