Info "Yeh Yeh Yeh" (help·info)

"Yeh Yeh Yeh" is a song by Melanie C, and was the third and final single from Chisolm's second solo album, Reason (2003), as a double A-side with "Melt". The original plan was to release "Yeh Yeh Yeh" as the third single, but shortly before this could happen, Chisolm injured her knee in TV show The Games games. Because Chisolm couldn't promote an upbeat song with an injury, the UK release was cancelled, but nevertheless it was released in several European countries. "Melt", being an easier song to promote with an injury, was added to the mix, resulting in the double single.

It was released on November 10, 2003 but there were numerous problems. On most CD1s of the set, the track listing was accidentally swapped so that "Yeh Yeh Yeh" was the first track on the CD. Because of this misprint, and following strong competition, lack of promotion, and distribution problems, the single entered the UK Singles Chart at number twenty-seven, sealing Chisolm's fate with Virgin Records and further hindering any hope for the album's success. The single sold just 8,307 copies. However, it peaked at number thirteen in Spain.
