"Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)" is a 1981 song by Ottawan. It was the band's second-biggest international hit single, after their 1979 hit "D.I.S.C.O.".

The song reached the Top 5 across Europe and became a number one in New Zealand.[2] It was not released in North America until 1991 as a remix.

Sway version[]

In 1987, Club Med commissioned a re-recording of the song to serve as the new commercial jingle for its television advertising.[3] The new version was recorded by Sway, a one-off vocal group featuring Canadian musicians Vivienne Williams, Sharon Lee Williams and Colina Phillips on vocals,[3] and was produced by reggae musician Carl Harvey.[4]

The Sway version reached #7 on the RPM charts in 1988,[5] and was a Juno Award nominee for Best Single at the Juno Awards of 1989.[6]
