We hope you love the track as much as we do, and get to reminisce with us on all your favourite moments with friends and loved ones. This was a true labour of love and the experience of creating it together was so special. This one’s for you, Paul.

Formed by the Spice Girls’ former manager Simon Fuller, S Club 7 had their own BBC television sitcom Miami 7 to which sparked their rise to fame. The television sitcom was aimed at a younger audience lasting for four seasons and was watched by over 90 million viewers at home.
Over the course of the band’s career, S Club 7 recorded four studio albums and have released 11 singles. In 2000, they won the Brit Award for British Breakthrough Act, and won Best British Single in 2002.
After the departure of Paul Cattermole in 2002 to join a metal band, the group renamed themselves as S Club, removing the 7 from their name. Ultimately, they disbanded in 2003.
