"Lift Me Up" is a song by singer-songwriter, Geri Halliwell. It was released on 1 November 1999 as the third single from Halliwell's debut solo album Schizophonic. It debuted and peaked at number-one in the UK Singles Chart,[1] winning the chart battle against fellow Spice Girls member Emma Bunton's "What I Am" by 33,000 copies.[2] The music video was directed by Howard Greenhalgh and filmed in October 1999 in Malaga, Spain. To promote the single, Halliwell performed the song on Top of the Pops, Pepsi Chart, Musica Si and National Lottery.

Chart performance

The single was released on 1 November 1999, along with previous Spice Girls group mate Emma Bunton's debut, "What I Am" (which was a collaboration with Tin Tin Out). When Geri discovered that her single was to be released on the same date as that of her former Spice colleague, she wanted to back out, but it was too close to the release date for her to pull out, and so, in true Geri style, she became determined for her single to reach number one over Emma's. "Lift Me Up" reached number one in the UK chart on 13 November 1999.[1] On the first day of sales, Halliwell was ahead of Bunton by only 200 copies, but due to a furious whirlwind of promotion on Halliwell's part, "Lift Me Up" wound up selling 139,000 copies in its first week ("What I Am"'s first week sales were 106,000 copies). Its total sales are 341,768 copies in the United Kingdom, the single enjoyed a fifteen-week run in the UK chart.
