"Ready to Go" came out in April 1996 as a single from Republica's self-titled debut album, a dance-rock charge from an English band that had to wait for it to catch fire. The first time around it stalled at No. 43 in the UK. Then a remix started picking up steam abroad, charting in Australia, Canada and the United States, and when that version was released at home in February 1997 it climbed to No. 13. The reissue also gave the song its first chart run in western Europe, with No. 19 in the Netherlands and No. 26 in Ireland.

There are two mixes to know, the US mix and the original, and the song later gave its name to the band's best-of, Ready to Go: The Best Of. In Britain it never really went away, turning up again and again in adverts and on TV.
