"Would You...?" was the calling card for Touch and Go, a British electronic group, and band member David Lowe wrote and produced it as the first single from their 1998 debut, I Find You Very Attractive. The hook is a woman's cool, unhurried voice making a startlingly forward proposition to a near stranger, an idea Lowe took from a 1978 psychology study, laid over a slinky, jazz-tinged groove on V2.
The cheek paid off. It went to number three on the UK Singles Chart, reached the top 10 in seven countries and got to number four in New Zealand early in 1999, and in America it made number six on Billboard's Maxi-Singles Sales chart.
