"Keep Moving" gave its name to the fifth Madness album, released in February 1984, and its writing credit is shared by Chris Foreman, Cathal Smyth and Suggs, with Clive Langer and Alan Winstanley producing.
The album marked the end of a chapter for the ska-pop band: it was their last for Stiff, and the last studio record with founding keyboardist Mike Barson before Madness split in 1986. The critics were on side, too. Rolling Stone praised the way the band's sound was changing, and the NME counted the album among its best of 1984.
