"Yeh Yeh Yeh" is a song by British singer-songwriter Melanie C. It was the third and final single from Chisolm's second solo album, Reason (2003). The song was released as a double A-side with "Melt" in the United Kingdom. In the rest of Europe, "Yeh Yeh Yeh" was released alone as the final single. An accompanying music video, directed by Ray Kay, was shot on 26–27 June 2003 in Oslo, Norway. The song would later be sampled on the remix for Shaan's "Tanha Dil" on his second album "Askar".

Background

The original plan was to release "Yeh Yeh Yeh" as the third single on 22 September 2003, but shortly before this could happen, Chisolm injured her knee in TV show The Games. Because Chisolm could not promote an upbeat song with an injury, the original release date was pushed back, but nevertheless she performed the song with her injured knee. "Melt", being an easier song to promote with an injury, was added to the mix, resulting in the double single. It was released on 10 November 2003 but there were numerous problems. On most CD1s of the set, the track listing was accidentally swapped so that "Yeh Yeh Yeh" was the first track on the CD. Because of this misprint, and following strong competition, lack of promotion, and distribution problems, the single entered the UK Singles Chart at number twenty-seven, sealing Chisolm's fate with Virgin Records and further hindering any hope for the album's success. The single sold just 8,313 copies in the UK, but peaked at number thirteen in Spain.
