"Rise to the Occasion" is a song by English pop duo Climie Fisher from their debut album, Everything (1988). Released as the album's fourth single in November 1987, it was a top-20 hit in nine countries, including the Netherlands and South Africa, where it reached No. 1.

A popular remix by PWL's Phil Harding and Jamie Bromfield called the "Hip Hop mix" was released as the A-side on 7-inch and 12-inch formats. It was after the success of this mix that "Love Changes (Everything)" was re-issued in 1988 and became a much bigger hit than its initial release. The song's music video was directed by Dieter Trattmann.[ citation needed ]
