KÖVETKEZŐ ALBUM SpiceWorld (1997)

SPICE Spice Girls angol lánycsapat debütáló stúdióalbuma, amelyet 1996. szeptember 19-én Japánban, 1996. november 4-én pedig az Egyesült Királyságban ad ki a Virgin Records. Az albumot 1995 és 1996 között rögzítette a londoni barnesi Olympic Studios és a londoni Shoreditch-i Strongroom Studios, Matt Rowe és Richard Stannard producerek, valamint az Absolute produkciós duó. A Spice egy popalbum, amely olyan stílusokat tartalmaz, mint a dance, az R&B és a hiphop. Úgy tartják, hogy ez az a lemez, amely visszahozta a tinipopot, és megnyitotta az ajtókat a tinipop előadók hulláma előtt. Koncepcionálisan az album középpontjában a Girl Power ötlete állt, és a csoport körüli felhajtást a Beatlemaniához hasonlították.
A világméretű kereskedelmi siker, a Spice a világ több mint 17 országában a slágerlisták élére került, és 27 országban Multi-Platina minősítést, 14 országban Platina minősítést és három országban Arany minősítést kapott, köztük az Egyesült Királyságban és Kanadában tízszeres platina minősítést, Európában nyolcszoros platina minősítést és hétszeres platina minősítést az Egyesült Államokban. 1997-ben a világ legkelendőbb albuma lett, több mint egy év alatt 19 millió példányban kelt el belőle. Az album összesen 23 millió példányban kelt el világszerte, ami a zenetörténet legkelendőbb albuma lett egy lánycsapattól, és minden idők egyik legkelendőbb albuma.
Az albumról négy kislemez jelent meg. A vezető kislemez, a "Wannabe" 37 országban az első helyet érte el, és 2010-ben minden idők egyik legkelendőbb kislemezévé vált, több mint hatmillió példányban kelt el világszerte. A következő két kislemez, a "Say You'll Be There" és a "2 Become 1" 53 országban érte el az első helyet. A „Who Do You Think You Are” a Comic Relief hivatalos kislemezeként jelent meg az Egyesült Királyságban, dupla A-oldalként a „Mama”-val, és mindkét dal a top 20-ba jutott Európában, Ausztráliában és Új-Zélandon. A banda szülőföldjén, az Egyesült Királyságban mind a négy kislemez az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának első helyére került, a Billboard Hot 100-on pedig az album három első öt kislemezt hozott létre.

HÁTTÉR

1994 februárjában Chris és Bob Herbert, akik Chic Murphy finanszírozóval a Heart Management üzleti néven kereskedtek, hirdetést tettek fel a The Stage magazinban, amelyben feltették a kérdést: "Utcai okos, extrovertált, ambiciózus vagy, és tudsz énekelni és táncolni?". A vezetőség több száz választ kapott, de végül lecsökkentette a keresést az utolsó öt lányból álló csoportra: Victoria Beckham, Mel B, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell és Michelle Stephenson. Az új banda eredeti neve Touch volt, és egy Maidenhead-i házba költöztek. Emma Bunton volt az utolsó, aki csatlakozott, miután Stephenson kiesett, amikor anyja megbetegedett.
A csoport bizonytalannak érezte magát a szerződés hiánya miatt, és frusztrálta őket, hogy a Heart Management milyen irányba terelte őket. 1994 októberében a csoport demók és táncprogramok katalógusával felvértezve turnézni kezdett a menedzserügynökségeken. Producerekkel, zenészekkel és más cégvezetőkkel kezdtek találkozni, köztük Tim Hawes zeneszerzővel, valamint Richard Stannard és Matthew Rowe írókkal. Hawes a csoporttal dolgozott, és figyelte az ének- és írói képességeik fejlődését. Együtt komponáltak egy dalt "Sugar and Spice" címmel, amely inspirációként szolgált a csoport nevének "Spice"-re történő megváltoztatásához. Végül a név ismét "Spice Girls"-re változott egy amerikai rapper miatt, aki akkoriban a "Spice" nevet használta. 1995. március 3-án elváltak a Heart Managementtől, mivel a csoport csalódott volt amiatt, hogy vezetésük nem volt hajlandó meghallgatni elképzeléseiket és elképzeléseiket. A csoport ellopta a diszkográfiáik törzsfelvételeit a vezetői irodákból, hogy biztosítsák saját munkájuk teljes ellenőrzését.

KRITIKA

A Spice vegyes értékeléseket kapott a popzene kritikusaitól. Az NME-ben Mark Sutherland úgy méltatta az albumot, mint "tökéletes csúcstechnológiás poplemezt, olyan jót, amilyet a mainstream valaha is kaphat", és "az év néhány, ha nem a legjobb popzenéje." Az AllMusic kritikusa, Stephen Thomas Erlewine "makulátlanul kidolgozott popnak" ítélte, amely "fertőző", és "nem kell ellenállni" annak szórakoztató" és hogy "egyik lánynak sincs jó hangja, de sugárzik belőlük a személyiség és a karizma." Ken Tucker, az Entertainment Weekly munkatársa „ördögien jó popgyűjteménynek” nevezte az albumot, Lois Alter Mark pedig ugyanebből a magazinból „Go-Go's with attitűddel” jellemezte a Spice Girls-t, ugyanakkor megjegyezte, hogy „a pimasz hozzáállásukkal és durva viselkedésükkel a lányok nem biztos, hogy ideális példaképek” a gyerekek számára.
A LAUNCHcast Dev Sherlockja a Spice-t "tiszta, vidám fülcukornak" nevezte, és azt mondta, hogy ez "az év egyik legszórakoztatóbb és legizgalmasabb pop-kiadása", és megállapította, hogy a Spice Girls Girl Power filozófiája "egy kiegyensúlyozott kiáltvány a fiatal nők számára mindenhol, amely nem tweet és nem lázadó grrrl-dühös, annak ellenére, hogy The Guardian album." "hihetetlenül sima" és kommersz hangzás, "azok a Girl Power nyilatkozatok nem csak üres szlogenek, úgy érzi az ember." Más kritikusok kevésbé voltak fogékonyak. Sara Scribner, a Los Angeles Times munkatársa „szégyentelenül egydimenziósnak” találta a csapat zenéjét és arculatát,[48] míg Christina Kelly a Rolling Stone-tól egy másik „buborék-pop” csoportnak minősítette őket, akik „a hip-hop és a sajtos popballadák felvizezett keverékét kínálják”, kijelentve, hogy „bármilyen bukott profiktól, a Girwoman is mélyebb, mint a promóciós felvételek kirablása és a fiúk ágyba ültetésére vonatkozó tippek adása.”
Spice-t jelölték az 1997-es Mercury-díjra. Azonban veszített a New Forms ellen, Roni Size & Reprazenttől. A 2019-es albumról elmélkedve a Pitchfork-s Aimee Cliff úgy vélekedett, hogy kissé "gyenge" feminizmusa ellenére "a Spice továbbra is merész teljesítmény... öt olyan lányt csapott le, akik nem szerepeltek a vendéglistán az intézményben, ami egy rövid, szürreális pillanatra káoszt okozott."

SPICE25

A "Wannabe" 25. évfordulója alkalmából 2021 júliusában megjelent a csoport debütáló kislemezének EP-je, amely korábban kiadatlan demókat is tartalmazott.
2021. szeptember 1-jén a Spice Girls bejelentette a Spice újrakiadását az album 25. évfordulója alkalmából, Spice25 néven. A deluxe dupla album 2021. október 29-én jelent meg, és remixeket, demókat és kiadatlan számokat tartalmaz. Ezenkívül a 2 Become 1 kislemez verziója az album harmadik számaként szerepelt az eredeti albumverzió helyett. A CD-k A5-ös keménykötésű füzetben érkeznek, ikonikus képek gyűjteményével és hat Spice Girls képeslapkészlettel, míg az eredeti album korlátozott kiadású bakeliten és kazettán is elérhető.
A Spice25 újrakiadása során az album ismét az ötödik helyre került a brit albumlista 7798 eladott példányával, miközben a hivatalos bakelitalbumok listán a harmadik, a hivatalos fizikai albumok listáján pedig a negyedik helyet érte el.

KISLEMEZEK

WANNABE Spice Girls brit lánycsapat debütáló kislemeze, amelyet 1996. június 26-án adtak ki. A Spice Girls, Matt Rowe és Richard "Biff" Stannard írta, a producerek pedig Rowe és Stannard voltak a csapat 1996 novemberében megjelent Spice című debütáló albumához. Mark "Spike" stent. Dance-pop dal, szövege a női barátság értékét szólítja meg a romantikus kapcsolatokhoz képest. Azóta a női felhatalmazás szimbólumává vált, és a csoport girl power filozófiájának legemblematikusabb dala.
"Wannabe"-t erősen előléptették. Johan Camitz által rendezett videoklipje sikert aratott a brit Box kábelhálózaton, ami felkeltette a sajtó érdeklődését a csoport iránt. Ezt követően a dal intenzív rádióadást kapott Anglia-szerte, míg a Spice Girls a televízióban adta elő, és interjúkat és fotózásokat kezdett tinimagazinoknak. Az érdeklődési hullámra reagálva a Virgin kiadta a dalt a Spice Girls debütáló kislemezeként Japánban 1996 júniusában, majd a következő hónapban az Egyesült Királyságban, jóval megelőzve a Spice album tervezett megjelenését. 1997 januárjában adták ki az Egyesült Államokban.
A "Wannabe" vegyes kritikákat kapott a kritikusoktól, de az 1997-es Ivor Novello Awards díjátadón megnyerte a legkelendőbb brit alkotások kategóriáját, az 1997-es Brit Awards-on pedig az év brit kislemeze díjat. Hét héten át vezette a brit kislemezlistát, és négyszeres platina minősítést kapott a British Phonographic Industry (BPI) által. 1996 végére a "Wannabe" 22 országban került a slágerlisták élére – beleértve a Billboard Hot 100-at is –, 1997 végére pedig 37-ben került a slágerlisták élére. Egy lánycsapat legkelendőbb kislemeze lett[5], és egy 2014-es tanulmány szerint az elmúlt 60 év legismertebb popdala a fiatal angolul beszélők körében.

SAY YOU'LL BE THERE Egy dalt az angol Spice Girls lánycsapat a Spice (1996) debütáló stúdióalbumához rögzített. A Spice Girls a dalt Eliot Kennedyvel közösen írta, miután a csoport 1995-ben elhagyta a Heart Managementet. Később Jonathan Buck dalszerzői elismerést is kapott. Az Absolute produkciós duó által készített dal dance-pop és R&B hatások keverékét tartalmazza. Tartalmaz egy szájharmonika szólót is, amelyet Judd Lander játszik. A Virgin Records lemezkiadója egykor a csoport debütáló kislemezének tekintette, 1996. szeptember 26-án a Spice második kislemezeként jelent meg.
A dalszövegek a nők számára elsősorban a kapcsolatokat mutatják be. A dal vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól, sokan dicsérték a fülbemászó miatt, míg mások kritikusan értékelték a produkciót. Világszerte kereskedelmi sikert aratott, és a legtöbb listán a legjobb tíz közé jutott. A dal a Spice Girls második első helyezettje lett az Egyesült Királyságban. Az Egyesült Államokban az ötödik helyen debütált a Billboard Hot 100-on, ami akkoriban rekordot döntött egy brit fellépő legmagasabb helyezéséért a listán; később a harmadikra tetőzött. A British Phonographic Industry (BPI) dupla platina minősítést kapott az Egyesült Királyságban, platina minősítést Új-Zélandon, és további öt országban arany minősítést kapott.
A videoklipet a Faster, Pussycat! című filmek ihlették. Megöl! Megöl! (1965) és Pulp Fiction (1994), és a csoport női techno-harcosokból álló bandaként szerepel, akik harcművészeteket és csúcstechnológiás nindzsa hatású fegyvereket használnak egy szerencsétlen férfi elfogására. Tartalmazza a férfiak elhatalmasodásának szimbólumait, és a szolidaritás és a csoport kötődésének példájaként szolgál. Pozitív reakciókat kapott, és számos díjra jelölték, köztük az 1996-os Smash Hits Poll Winners Party-ra, az 1997-es MTV Video Music Awards-ra és az 1997-es Brit Awards-ra.

SLEIGH RIDE Spice album szekciói alatt készült, de nem sikerült felvenni az albumok listájára. Ehelyett a „2 Become 1” kislemez b-oldali számaként szerepelt. A dal a kislemez mellett megjelent a Sounds of the Season ’98 karácsonyi válogatásalbumon és a Jack Frost Movie Soundtrack-en.

2 BECOME 1 Spice Girls brit lánycsapat dala. A csoport tagjai írták, Matt Rowe-val és Richard Stannarddal együtt a csoport első professzionális dalszerzői munkamenete során, és Rowe és Stannard készítette a csoport debütáló albumához, a Spice-hez (1996). A „2 Become 1” egy R&B ihletésű popballada, amely egy gitár, egy elektronikus billentyűs és vonós hangszerek hangszerelését tartalmazza. A dalszöveg két szerelmes kötődésére összpontosít, és kitér a biztonságos szex fontosságára is. A Big TV! által rendezett klipjét, amelyben a csapat a New York-i Times Square-ről készült time-lapse felvételeken játszik, teljesen kék képernyő előtt forgatták egy londoni stúdióban. A hátteret később rárakták.
A Virgin által 1996. december 16-án a csoport harmadik kislemezeként megjelent, a zenekritikusok általában jól fogadták, és kereskedelmi sikert aratott. Három hétig vezette a brit kislemezlistát, így a csoport harmadik egymást követő listavezetője lett, második milliós kislemezük, és első karácsonyi kislemezük az Egyesült Királyságban. 1997 júliusában a dalt kiadták az Egyesült Államokban, a Billboard Hot 100 lista negyedik helyére ért el, és az Amerikai Hanglemezipari Szövetség (RIAA) arany minősítést kapott. Hasonlóan teljesített nemzetközi szinten is, a legtöbb toplistán az első tíz között csúcsosodott ki. A dal az "Év dala" címet kapta az 1998-as ASCAP London Music Awardson.
2019-ben Emma Bunton duettként dolgozta fel a dalt Robbie Williamsszel negyedik szólóalbumán, a My Happy Place-en. 2024 decemberében megjelent Bunton zenekari változata a Budapest Scoring Orchestra közreműködésével.

MAMA Spice Girls brit lánycsapat dala. Írta a Spice Girls, Matt Rowe és Richard Stannard, a producerek pedig Rowe és Stannard voltak az együttes Spice debütáló albumához, amely 1996 novemberében jelent meg. A „Mama” popballada billentyűs hangszerelést, ritmusgitárt, csellót és hegedűt tartalmaz, dalszövegei pedig az anyák és lányaik kapcsolatának nehézségeit dolgozzák fel gyermekkoruk során.
A "Who Do You Think You Are" dupla A-oldalán jelent meg, és az 1997-es Comic Relief hivatalos kislemeze lett. A nagy TV! videoklipet rendezett, a csoport a gyerekekből és saját édesanyjukból álló közönségnek énekelt. Annak ellenére, hogy vegyes kritikákat kapott a zenekritikusoktól, a "Mama" kereskedelmileg sikeres volt. Az album negyedik kislemezeként 1997 márciusában jelent meg, és ez lett a negyedik egymást követő első számú kislemezük az Egyesült Királyságban, így a Spice Girls az első fellépő a brit listák történetében, amelynek első négy kislemeze elérte az első helyet. A British Phonographic Industry (BPI) platina minősítést kapott. A kislemez nemzetközi szinten jól teljesített, számos európai országban és Új-Zélandon az első tízbe, Ausztráliában pedig a legjobb tizenötbe jutott.

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE Spice Girls brit popegyüttes által előadott dal. A csoport tagjai Paul Wilsonnal és Andy Watkins-szal – más néven Absolute – írták a csapat debütáló albumához, a Spice-hez, amely 1996 novemberében jelent meg. A dalt erősen befolyásolta az 1990-es évek eleji dance-pop, és a nu-disco stílusú üteme az 1970-es évek végének zenéjére emlékeztet. Dalszövegei a szupersztár életéről szólnak, és arról, hogyan kerülhet valaki a hírnév világába.
1997 februárjában a csoport a "Who Do You Think You Are"-val nyitotta meg a Brit Awards díjátadót. Az Union Jack ruha, amelyet Geri Halliwell az előadás alatt viselt, számos újság címlapjára került, és ma a Cool Britannia egyik legikonikusabb szimbólumaként emlékeznek rá. A „Who Do You Think You Are” lett az 1997-es Comic Relief hivatalos kislemeze. Kiadtak egy videót a Sugar Lumps-szal – a csoport szatirikus változatával –, hogy segítsenek pénzt gyűjteni jótékony célokra, és felajánlották a kislemez összes bevételét.
A „Who Do You Think You Are” kereskedelmi és kritikai siker volt, Melanie Chisholm énekhangját a popzene kritikusai dicsérték. A "Mama"-val dupla A-oldalas kislemezként 1997 márciusában jelent meg, és ez lett a csoport zsinórban negyedik kislemeze, amely az Egyesült Királyság kislemezlistájának élére került, így ez az első fellépő a brit listák történetében, amelynek első négy kislemeze elérte az első helyet. Ezenkívül a British Phonographic Industry (BPI) platina minősítést kapott, és nemzetközi szinten is jól teljesített, számos európai országban és Új-Zélandon az első tízbe, Ausztráliában, Franciaországban és Norvégiában pedig az első húsz közé jutott.

WANNABE25 2021-ben jelent meg egy EP, a Wannabe 25 a kislemez 25. évfordulója alkalmából.

LAST TIME LOVER

Treat me right, all night, makes me feel good, like you should
Listen up, I gotta tell ya, about the ins and outs and goings-on
I wouldn't tell just anybody, about the fox that I've been chasing
He's resistant, I'm persistent, he didn't stop me from honing in
'Cause I'm a choosy not a floozy, I get my hit and then I run with it

We got up and down to it , like the dirty bass in the music
I got my major chords strumming, took some time and then we're really buzzing
First bite whet my appetite, second helping's always better, started gettin' burning hot
I found my pride not easy, slowed it down, (I said stop (Harmony))

Last time lover (Lover)
(Do you think I'm really cool and sexy?
And I know you wanna get with me (Harmony))

Last time lover (Treat me right) lovin' undercover (All night)

Cool, sexy, ever ready, someone fine, always steady
Gentle hands, dirty mind, use your head and don't be blind
Words of love, they don't wash with me
What's the hard rush? No urgency you see
Crazy boy, potential lover
First and last lover, brother, ain't no other
Crazy, sweetie, cool but racy, steady, ready, go, yes

MAMA

She used to be my only enemy and never let me be free
Catching me in places that I knew I shouldn't be
Every other day I crossed the line, (I didn't mean to be so bad (Harmony))
I never thought you would become the friend I never had
(Back then I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood (Mama)
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love (Harmony))

Mama I love you, Mama I care
Mama I love you, Mama my friend (You're my friend)

I didn't want to hear it then, but I'm not ashamed to say it now
Every little thing you said and did was right for me
I've had a lot of time to think about, (about the way I used to be (Harmony))
Never had a sense of my responsibility
(Back then I didn't know why, why you were misunderstood
So now I see through your eyes, all that you did was love (Harmony))

Mama I love you, Mama I care

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE

The race is on to get out of the bottom
The top is high so your roots are forgotten
Giving is good, as long as you're getting
What's driving you is ambition I'm betting

Your trumpet's blowing for far too long
Climbing the snake up the ladder, but you're wrong

(I said-a) Who, some kind of superstar? (You have got to) (oh, oh, oh)

Oh, take from me what you feel that you need, you feel that you need (Harmony))

NAKED

Naïvety and childlike left behind
Deprived of the goodness of mankind
Past encounters have made her strong
Strong enough to carry on and on
(Undress you with her eyes
Uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down don't need to care
Lights are low exposed and bare (Harmony))

Naked, nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked, she wants to play seek and hide, no one to hide behind (ah-ah)
Naked, this child has fallen from grace
Naked, don't be afraid to stare she's only (naked (Harmony)) (ah-ah)

She knows exactly what to do with men like you
Inside out in her mind there's no doubt where you're coming from
The mystery will turn you on
(Undress you with her eyes
Uncover the truth from the lies
Strip you down don't need to care
Lights are low exposed and bare (Harmony))

Hello, it's me, I, I thought you'd understand
Well maybe I should have kept my big mouth shut
I guess it ain't such a pretty picture
I'd rather be hated than pitied
Maybe I should have left it to your imagination, I just want to be me

This angel's dirty face is soft
Holding on to what she had before
Not sharing secrets with any old fool
Now she's gonna keep her cool
She wants to get naked, she wants to get naked

IF U CAN'T DANCE

(If you can't dance, if you can't dance (Harmony))
If you can't dance, if you can't dance
If you can't dance to this, (you can't do nothing for me, baby (Harmony))
(If you can't dance, if you can't dance (Harmony))
If you can't dance, if you can't dance
If you can't dance to this, (you can't do nothing for me, baby (Harmony))

Now we got the flavour, the bad behaviour
The rhythm, the melody, the juice for you to savour
We're rockin' and vibin' but somebody is jivin'
You need to take a tip, sort it out, get a grip
Whenever I go out, wherever it may be
Never is there a Keanu, but a dweeb lookin' at me
But then even if I do score, he's a loser in the dance floor
Take a deep breath count one, two, three
(Even when his eyes met mine
His slamming moves were out of time
Can't you just feel the groove? (feel the groove)
Why don't you move?
It's easy, can't you see? (can't you see?)
Take my hands and dance with me (Harmony)) (dance with me)

Hey macho, te vi el otro día, me dio mucha, mucha alegría
Escucha la música, ¡ay, madre mía!, hey, chico, tú no tienes nada
Qué susto, qué sueco, qué polla, qué tieso, oh, no me toques, ¡ay, qué pero, feo!
Venga, venga, marcha salida, toma esa música, me cantas deprisa
Cuidado, cuidado, qué chico, qué loco, toma mi ritmo, me voy contigo
Hey, macho, te quiero, quiero un hombre, necesito, sí
Pero no tú, un hombre, hey, macho
Hey, macho, si no bailas esto no puedes nada conmigo

(Oh-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa)
Nothing, baby (Oh-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa)
The rhythm, you can't do nothing for me, baby
(Even when his eyes met mine (Oh-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa)
His slamming moves were out of time
Can't you just feel the groove? (feel the groove)
Why don't you move? (Oh-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa-oh whoa)
It's easy, can't you see? (can't you see?)
Take my hands and dance with me (Harmony)) (dance with me)

(Can't do nothing for me baby)

(If you can't dance, if you can't dance (Harmony))
If you can't dance, if you can't dance
If you can't dance to this, (you can't do nothing for me, baby (Harmony))

Ya veras, como hoy, seremos uno los dos

Cuídate y sé inteligente (un loco mas, un loco mas (Harmony))
Ya veras como hoy, seremos uno los dos (Oh whoa, oh whoa)

There’s no place I call the height, there’s no way in a mean street (ah-ah)
There’s no happy medium, there’s no in between (ah-ah)
So do your searching, until you’re down (ah-ah)
Then realise, you’re on you’re home ground (ah-ah)

Sittin’ in a white room dreaming of a life

I’ve been checking you out, for so very long
Maybe you should tell me, what’s been going on
First you say you need me, but then you disappear
I should not be taking this, not a minute, not a day, not a year
C U Next Tuesday (C U Next Tuesday) (Ain’t gonna listen to your likely stories)
You made me do this (C U Next Tuesday)
You can go my way (You can go my way) (I ain’t gonna listen to your likely stories)
Or take the highway (C U Next Tuesday)

Likely stories, don’t wanna listen to your
Likely stories, I know the truth about your
Indiscretion, let it be your lesson, you know where the door is (Likely stories)
Go on, go on, go on

Smooth operator, don’t take me for a fool
I’ve had enough of you, but I ain’t gonna loose my cool
You make so many promises, you know you just can’t keep
Shadow eye I can see through you, you sweet and sexy creep
C U Next Tuesday (C U Next Tuesday) (Ain’t gonna listen to your likely stories)
You made me do this (C U Next Tuesday)
You can go my way (You can go my way) (I ain’t gonna listen to your likely stories)
Or take the highway (C U Next Tuesday)

STEP TO ME

Why don't ya step to me, take you for a ride
Step to me, I can tell you don't know what to do

I can't believe what I heard yesterday, about your boastin' and lyin'
Whispering words you had no right to say, and now there's no use denying
Big words and small promises, you're living in your dreams, oh
Smell the coffee 'cause it's time to wake up, sometimes the truth can be mean, yeah
Now it's time, come prove your words to me
If you think you've got what it takes
There's no time for your insecuritiеs
(I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face (Harmony))

Why don't ya stеp to me, let me take you for a ride (Take you for a ride)
I'll take where you can run but you can't hide
Come on and step to me, shame the devil, tell the truth
I can tell you don't know what to do

I'm tired of hearing from your cheap talkin' friends, just how you run me around, ha
I know you boys ain't nothing better to do, than try to keep your girl down
Small town, big attitude, is more than just a state of your mind, yeah
But you and me belongs to me and you, cause honesty's so hard to find, yeah
Now it's time, come prove your words to me
If you think you've got what it takes
There's no time for your insecuritiеs
(I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face (Harmony))

Why don't ya step to me, let me take you for a ride (Take you for a ride)
I'll take where you can run but you can't hide
Come on and step to me, shame the devil, tell the truth
Fooling yourself makes a fool outta you

Why don't you step to me, if you think you got what it takes
I heard the rumour (What rumour?) about your loving, well it's fake
Checkity-check yourself, if you think I'm gonna stand for that
What do you think I am, some kind of pussycat?
Chit-chat to the girls and the boys you call your friends
Tell them that you've never been to the place where lovin' ends
You never graduated from the school of love, you see
So come on, boy, why don't ya step to me?
Now it's time, come prove your words to me
So you think you've got what it takes
There's no time for your insecurities
(I'm gonna wipe that smile off your face (Harmony))

Why don't ya stеp to me, let me take you for a ride
(Why don't you step to me, if you think you got what it takes
I heard the rumour, about your loving, well it's fake)
I'll take where you can run but you can't hide
(Checkity-check yourself, if you think I'm gonna stand for that
What do you think I am, some kind of pussycat?)
Come on and step to me, shame the devil, tell the truth
(Chit-chat to the girls and the boys you call your friends
Tell them that you've never been to the place where lovin' ends)
I can tell you don't know what to do
(You never graduated from the school of love, you see
So come on, boy, why don't ya step to me, yeah)

STRONG ENOUGH

(She says, she says, she says)
Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough (She says)
Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough

From an early age i was told what to do, but now I’m changing my ways, all right
No one listen to a word that I said, seems all work and no play
Now you’re out on your own, nothing to hide behind, you feel all alone and scared
Your a little girl, in a big and rough world, you’ve got your own way at last

Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough (To get by)
Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough (Control your life)
Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough (When times are rough)
Are you strong enough, strong enough, strong enough (Strong Enough)

All those opinions have been left far behind, and may never coming back (She says)
Shaking up with responsibilities, some understand is what they lack
Now you’re out on your own, nothing to hide behind, you feel all alone and scared
Your a little girl, in a big and rough world, you’ve got your own way at last

People listen what we say
Doesn’t have to be this way, yeah
You can find your own way
Time to open up your eyes
Time is come to realise
Are you strong enough?

Are you strong enough (To get by)
Are you strong enough (Control your life)
Are you strong enough (When times are rough)
Are you strong enough (Strong Enough)
