Up is the fifth studio album by the English duo ABC, released in October 1989. This time experimenting with house music, it was their first album not to make the Top 40 in the UK. However, they scored a minor UK hit with the single "One Better World", an ode to love, peace and tolerance. "The Real Thing" was also released as a single. "Up" was the band's final album released on the label PolyGram.
