Absolutely is the third studio album by Australian pop band Eurogliders, released on October 11, 1985 by CBS Records.[2][3] It peaked at No. 7 on the Australian Kent Music Report albums chart and remained in the charts for 47 weeks;[4] it spawned three top ten hit singles, "We Will Together" in April, "The City of Soul" in September and "Can't Wait to See You" in November.[4] Two further singles, "Absolutely" and "So Tough" appeared in 1986.[4]

At the height of the band's success, Eurogliders Grace Knight and Bernie Lynch reconciled their relationship and were married in 1985, although the union was short-lived. Despite their marital separation, they stayed together in the band for another four years.
