"'''Move On Baby'''" is a song by Italian musical group Cappella, released in February 1994, by Italian label Media, as the fifth single from their second studio album, ''U Got 2 Know'' (1994). It was written by Gianfranco Bortolotti, Ricardo Overman, Diego Leoni, Lorenzo Carpella, Alessandro Pasinelli and Bruno Guerrini. However, the vocals were sung by Eileina Dennis and the rap parts were performed by Ricardo Overman. Bortolotti produced the song and it achieved success in many countries, particularly in Finland, Israel, the Netherlands and Switzerland, where it topped the charts. It has received sales certifications in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Switzerland. The accompanying music video, directed by B. Smith and Wayne Holloway, received heavy rotation on European music television channels.

==Critical reception== John Bush from AllMusic named "Move On Baby" a "continent-wide hi-NRG hit".<ref name="allmusic"/> Upon the release, Larry Flick from ''Billboard'' magazine wrote, "After several years of building a loyal following of hi-NRG and Euro-pop fans, Italo-house act Capella appears prepped to take on the rest of the club world. 'Move on Baby' kicks with a perfect blend of foamy froth and underground depth." He named it a "cute and catchy song".<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Larry |last= Flick |title= Dance Trax: Crystal Waters' Single Goes 100% Pure Gold |magazine= Billboard |date= 22 October 1994 |page= 32 |accessdate= 10 October 2020 |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/90s/1994/BB-1994-10-22.pdf |author-link= Larry Flick}}</ref> Taylor Parkes from ''Melody Maker'' described it as "exotic", "refreshingly un-English" and "glorious". He also remarked its "face-punching beats".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://archivedmusicpress.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/taylor-parkes-reviews-the-singles-of-the-week-19th-february-1994.jpg|first=Taylor|last=Parkes|title=Singles|magazine=Melody Maker|date=19 February 1994|accessdate=6 March 2020|author-link=Taylor Parkes}}</ref>

Andy Beevers from ''Music Week'' gave the song a top score of five out of five and named it Pick of the Week in the category of Dance, noting that it "relies heavily on an anthemic synth riff that is very similar to those used on the last two Cappella hits. The cheesy rap and screaming vocals provide the distinguishing features. Zero ponts for originality, but maximum marks for chart potential."<ref>{{cite magazine|first= Andy |last= Beevers |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-02-05.pdf |title= Market Preview: Dance – Pick of the Week |magazine= Music Week |date= 5 February 1994 |page= 21 |accessdate= 14 April 2021}}</ref> James Hamilton from the ''Record Mirror'' Dance Update named it a "Culture Beat-type typical cheesy Italo pop raver" in his weekly dance colum.<ref>{{cite magazine|first= James |last= Hamilton |url= https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1994/Music-Week-1994-02-19.pdf |title= Dj directory |magazine= Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental insert) |date= 19 February 1994 |page= 7 |accessdate= 13 April 2021 |author-link= James Hamilton (DJ and journalist)}}</ref> Mark Sutherland from ''Smash Hits'' was less enthusiastic and gave it one out of five, saying, "After 'U Got 2 Know' and 'U Got 2 Let the Music', the Caps finally write a song that doesn't start with the words "U Got 2". But what they've gained in grammar they've lost in catchiness."<ref>{{cite magazine|first=Mark|last=Sutherland|url=https://www.flickr.com/photos/57779449@N02/52567240416/in/album-72177720304493585/|title=New Singles|magazine=Smash Hits|date=19 January 1994|page=55|access-date=22 April 2025}}</ref>

==Impact and legacy== British DJ duo Sharp Boyz named the Armand van Helden remix of "Move On Baby" as one of their favourites in 1996. George Mitchell said, "This rates as one of his best. He's a big inspiration to us. He came with a hard sound, heartbeat kick drum, and took on projects everyone else would say no to and transformed them, as he did with this remix."<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://worldradiohistory.com/UK/Music-Week/1996/Music-Week-1996-09-28.pdf|first=|last=|title=Jocks On Their Box|magazine=Music Week, in Record Mirror (Dance Update Supplemental insert)|date=28 September 1996|page=5|accessdate=14 September 2021}}</ref> In their "The ABC in Eurodance" in 2016, Finnish broadcaster Yle noted, "One of the 90's really big ones in Eurodance!
