"I Owe You Nothing" is a song by British boy band Bros. Written by Nicky Graham and Tom Watkins and produced by Graham, "I Owe You Nothing" was Bros's sole UK number-one single, spending two weeks at the top in June 1988.[1] Additionally the song peaked within the top 10 in Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands, South Africa and Switzerland.

Originally released as their debut single the previous year, it failed to chart, but was remixed and re-released following the success of their breakthrough single "When Will I Be Famous?". The band never broke through in the US but did reach number 10 on the Billboard dance chart. The original version of the song can be found on the band's album Push. The B-side of the US release was "Shocked". The single sold nearly 300,000 copies in the UK.[2]
