Move to This is the debut studio album by English singer Cathy Dennis. It was released on 14 August 1990 through Polydor Records. Dennis was discovered by her manager Simon Fuller in 1986, and worked on the record for three years with Daniel Poku. Together they released the single "C'mon and Get My Love" in 1989, which jump started her career.

A dance-pop record, Move to This was primarily produced by herself with Phil Bodger, and features contributions by Poku and Nile Rodgers. Two of its tracks, "Just Another Dream" and "Touch Me (All Night Long)", were remixed for single release by Shep Pettibone.

Move to This peaked at number three in the United Kingdom, where it was certified Gold. Despite four of its five singles reaching top ten on the Billboard Hot 100, the album was only a minor success, stalling at number 67 in the United States.

Move to This spawned five singles which were spread out over a period of two years. The first single, "C'mon and Get My Love", which also appeared on the D Mob album A Little Bit of This, a Little Bit of That and was credited to either D Mob or "D Mob introducing Cathy Dennis", was released in 1989. It peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart, number 35 on Australia's ARIA Charts, number one on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart,^[8] and number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.^[9]

"Just Another Dream" was the second single in 1989. The initial release peaked at number 93 on the UK Singles Chart. It was re-released twice, first in 1990, and again in 1991. The first reissue only made it to number 95 on the UK chart, but reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.^[10] The second reissue performed much better, peaking at number 13 in the UK, number 2 on the U.S. Dance Club Songs chart,^[11] and number 14 on the ARIA Charts, becoming Dennis' best chart performance in Australia.

The third single was "Touch Me (All Night Long)", a lyrical reworking of the 1984 song by Fonda Rae. Released in 1991, the single became Dennis' most successful to date. It hit number one on the U.S. Dance Club Songs chart^[12] and peaked at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.^[13] The single also reached number 5 in the UK and number 16 in Australia.

"Too Many Walls" was the fourth single, hitting number 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart^[14] and peaking at number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.^[15] It also reached number 17 in the UK and number 57 in Australia.

"Everybody Move" was the final single, reaching number 40 on the U.S. Dance Club Songs chart^[16] and stalling at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.^[17] The single also reached number 25 in the UK
