"Up On The Catwalk" was the third single to be released from ''Sparkle in the Rain'', the sixth studio album by Simple Minds. It was released in March 1984〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Simple Minds hits )〕 and climbed to #27 in the UK Singles Chart. It stayed in the charts for 5 weeks, which was longer than the band's previous single, "Speed Your Love To Me". Unlike the album's previous two singles, "Waterfront" and "Speed Your Love To Me", "Up On The Catwalk" was not included in the band's 1992 compilation album Glittering Prize 81/92. However, reviewer MacKenzie Wilson of Allmusic considered this single to be the strongest song on ''Sparkle in the Rain'', complimenting its lyrics and 'glossy' verse which "thrives on celebrity and the falling grace that coincides that".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allmusic - Sparkle In The Rain )〕 The band's lead singer Jim Kerr has retrospectively called "Up On The Catwalk" an example of Simple Minds "at their spikiest and most dramatic".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sunday Express Simple Minds Live CD )〕 == Style ==
The song begins with an exclamation of "one, two, one, two, three, four" while the drummer, Mel Gaynor, bangs his drumsticks together, followed by "crashing drums"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Up On The Catwalk )〕 and keyboards by Mick MacNeil. As the song progresses it achieves the rock-oriented, "enormous sound"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Allmusic - Up On The Catwalk )〕 of the two preceding singles, thanks to extensive "reverb and echo" attributed to each instrument in the production. The keyboards play a more prominent and "thunderous" role in "Up On The Catwalk" than in "Speed Your Love To Me", particularly in the chorus after the refrain "I will be there".
