"Stomp" is a song by British pop group Steps, released as a single on 16 October 2000. The song features a modified orchestral riff from "Everybody Dance", released by Chic in 1978, but Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers did not receive songwriting credits until the release of Gold: Greatest Hits in 2001.[2][3] "Stomp" was the group's second and final single to hit number one on the UK Singles Chart.[4] The track was later released in Australia, Japan, and Europe.

Music video

The video was filmed in Chiswick[citation needed] and features group members Lisa Scott-Lee and Ian "H" Watkins looking after a penthouse apartment while the owner Bill (Dave Legeno) is away on business. They, and the other group members, then throw a party for all their friends but struggle to tidy up before the owner returns.
