Bring It On is the debut album by English band Gomez.
Gomez entered the recording studios in late 1997 to turn their demos into an album. As well, Gomez toured the UK with Embrace. Their first single "78 Stone Wobble" was released in March 1998 with their debut album Bring It On coming out a month later. The album received a good critical response from both sides of the Atlantic with Spin calling it a "damn beautiful album". Sales in the UK really took off when it won the 1998 Mercury Music Prize for best album beating the favourites Massive Attack's Mezzanine and The Verve's Urban Hymns. "Get Myself Arrested" and "Whippin' Piccadilly" were later released as singles. While Gomez toured the US as the support artist for Eagle Eye Cherry, Bring It On is the only Gomez album so far not to make the US charts although the album did make the Australian album charts. "Bring It On" is also the name of a song on Gomez's following album, Liquid Skin.
A 10th anniversary 2cd edition was released in 2008.
In early 2009, Gomez played a small number of shows in Australia that celebrated the 10th anniversary of Bring It On. At these shows, the album was performed in its entirety. They also did this during their festival tours in 2008.

This always reminds me that I should do something with my life. I'm free to run! But I walk slowly along.

i don't know if there's any connection, but this song always makes me think of Stephen King's (or Richard Bachman's) book "The Long Walk". and vice-versa.
