"ASAP" is a song by Australian pop group Bardot and the first single from their second studio album, Play It Like That (2001). It was written by Murlyn Music producers Fredrik Ödesjö, Henrik Jonback, and John McLaughlin, and produced by Ödesjö.[1]

"ASAP" is an up-tempo R&B song about a partner's interfering mother, recorded in London in early 2001. It was Bardot's first release as a four-piece following Katie Underwood's departure in mid-2001. Initially Underwood recorded vocals on the track, however these vocals were later removed after she left the group.[2][3]

"ASAP" was added to the UK version of their debut album Bardot, released on August 27, 2001,[4] and served as Bardot's second single in the UK.[5]

"ASAP" became Bardot's second Australian top five and fourth gold selling single.
