"Stomp" is a song by British pop group Steps, released as a single on 16 October 2000. The song features a modified orchestral riff from "Everybody Dance", released by Chic in 1978, but Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers did not receive songwriting credits until the release of Gold: Greatest Hits in 2001. "Stomp" was the group's second and final single to hit number one on the UK singles chart. The track was later released in Australia, Japan, and Europe.

Music video The video was filmed in Chiswick and features group members Lisa Scott-Lee and Ian "H" Watkins looking after a penthouse apartment while the owner Bill (Dave Legeno) is away on business.
