"The Heat Is On" was recorded by former ABBA member Agnetha Fältskog in 1983 as part of her first English solo-album, "Wrap Your Arms Around Me".
The single proved so successful throughout Europe, it sold more copies than any of ABBA's 1982 single releases. In the UK, "The Heat Is On" peaked at No.35, making it Faltskog's highest charting solo single in Britain until the release of her 2004 comeback single, "If I Thought You'd Ever Change Your Mind", which reached No.11.
The B-side of "The Heat Is On" was the song "Man", written by Agnetha herself. Compared to her pre-ABBA-albums where most of the songs were self-penned, this was the only song on the "Wrap Your Arms Around Me" album that she wrote herself.
In some countries, the record companies also released a 12"-single featuring an extended version of "The Heat Is On" instead of the album version.
