They literally had the potential to be the next Spice Girls or Pussycat Dolls. Makes me so sad. Loved them!! Especially Faye. Such powerful vocals--she could have gone solo with that voice!!
IKR?! I still come to their songs almost every day!! I loved them sooo much, their voices, styling, music, concepts, personalities... they had it all... they could have gone soooo far and it always makes me sad. especially wish we had many more music videos, the whole REPLAY album was a masterpiece - ahead of its time
I wish I was born when the original 4 were together I was born p 4 when don't stop the music came out I can't believe the original 4 are all mother now rosie is my favorite I love her solo songs
Actually, she went solo in the years 2012-2014. She quit the music industry in 2014 after her album got shelved. You can check some of those songs in youtube: "Water against the rock", "Silent", "Breathe Out" are some of them. Most songs of the album leaked back in the day but only like 5 are available in youtube now.
Watching this at 4 am in the 28th of January 2023… this song can still be a hit if its was released this year… i hope songs such as this can be revived and wont be an issue.. this song shouldn’t be forgotten
I remember watching the behind the scenes of them in studio recording this on the Playin' Around the World DVD. I'll never forget the producer's face when Faye nailed her verse!
YESSSS! I remember that too! I used to watch that DVD over and over lol, it feels like lifetimes ago but I still remember everything clearly. The producer kept having her redo that part until she got it 🥰
@@wr3kandrewwillis635 Hi I’m sorry I know I’m late but here I was able to find a bootleg version the clip on TH-cam just in case you haven’t found it yet lol th-cam.com/video/30LbgYVffWY/w-d-xo.html
Why doesn’t anyone remember this girl group? In my head they were really famous back then lol I also convinced my best friends I wrote this song in the 8th grade and they thought I was a fucking musical genius 😂😭💀
Lmao! Omg, I also told someone I wrote song lyrics from a band before just to mess around in my early teens. I immediately told them right after that it was from a song, but now that I'm an adult I cringe and wonder why the fuck did I do that??? Lmao Glad I'm not the one haha
Gosh Faye's voice is killer! They deserved to be bigger than they were. Would love to watch a documentary about these girls about what happened/why they broke up. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some shady management issues involved like most young girls deal with in the music industry
My childhood and preteens lmao Play was mega lit, specially Faye her voice was the sauce of this group , those vocals and she was only 15 at the time of this i think ... girl can sing.
@@semipotato5201 You're right, I remember on Regis and Kelly she said her age. Guess I'm suffering from Mandela effect because I swore they were slightly older😂😂
They were 16 and little Anna was only 14! This song and vibe was so mature and sexy, looking back. I was only 10 at the time, and I didn’t really get it but I loved them 🤣🤣
This is my first time listening to them (because i got recommended them singing Cinderella, i knew the cheetah girls didnt sing it originally but it randomly popped up and i watched it and i honestly liked lol) therefore, i wanted to listen to their other songs but THIS SONG LIKE WHAT? this song is a freaking BANGER!!!! I am seriously putting this song in my playlist 👏🏼
It's 2021, almost 2022, and I only just now found out Cinderella wasn't an original Cheetah Girls song. Whoa. (I"m listening to Play's version and it's is so much better too...)
OMG. OMGGGG!!! I finally found it!! I remembered parts of this song but couldn't put a name or band to it. I finally found it! God, I remember rocking out to this as a kid. It's been so long. Wow....
You should see if you can buy their last album UNDER MY SKIN from your itunes store. I don't know where you are but they just put it up for sale in the US itunes store.
[01 November 2020] "I WANNA BE SOMEBODY THEY DON'T WANT ME TO BE..." At this particular moment in my life, those are the truest words I've heard in a pop song.
My mom caught me listening to this when I was like 10 when it first came out and lost her shit 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m 30 now and this takes me back. I’ve been looking all over for this song what a banger 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When closeted little preteen me first heard this song it resonated with me in ways I barely understood but I remember understanding I was different and that it wasn’t safe yet for me to be who I am. My home life was homophobic. I saw how the out and proud kids got treated. And submitted to a quiet existence But I just wanted to give in to the young man I was becoming like everyone else but for my safety I knew, I mustn’t chase the boys. I’m sure it not what the song intended but boy. This song made me feel so powerful and that I knew someday I could be me.
Because like it or not, teenage girls go out and date... teenage girls go through puberty and start being attracted to other teenagers. This song is like a coming of age, I remember hearing this song as teen and feeling so empowered and having my feelings being normalized.
Same. Especially knowing how many sleazy industry execs there were back then. I like the song itself though. Genie in a Bottle by Christina Aguilera makes me feel the same way. It's a great song and I still listen to it, but it's super disturbing that she was singing that song and dancing around in midriff tops when she was only sixteen.
My sister liked Play when we were kids. I tend to gravitate toward rock music, or at least something that sounds similar, so I listen to this song every once in a while just for nostalgia's sake.
They disbanded in 2005 because Groups like these were at a decline and not as popular as they were in the beginning of 2000, plus the girls all wanted to pursue their own thing. They did briefly reunite in 2009 with Faye and Anais and a new member; Rosie chose not to return to the group and Anna was left out of the plans (because she was living in the US at the time and the rest of them in Sweden). But that didn't last very long or go very smoothly since Faye ended up leaving the group again and then they added another new member. Any eventually just called it quits again.
Wait.. this was posted on 2019?!?!?! How come I have clear memories of me being a young teenager that discovered this song, loving it & imagine singing it as if I had gone thru betrayal? Hahahahhahaha! Now it's 2021 like daaaang!!!!! I was so young..
this song was WAY ahead of it’s time
They were wise beyond their years
Sure was!
Kind of true. It reminds me of Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Do".
Facts
Yeah, you really didn't hear music like this until well into the mid/late 00s.
At 32 years old, this song took me back to my teen years 😩😩😩 I remember each word! ❤️❤️❤️
totally can relate 😭😭but im 31

15 yr old me felt so powerful when I first heard this song after their Play album! Nostalgia!

This is kind of random, but I like the soft goth, fairytale-like aesthetic of this music video.
Faye Hamlin is one of the most talented female vocalists of all time. A teenager here and absolutely SLAYING.
I used to have a crush on her
She’s amazing I used to try and sing like her and recorded myself thinking I was so cool 😂 sounded nothing like her
I agree
yeah she’s great but honestly i liked anais’ voice better.
I'm 34 and still love their song 11 out of 10. It was my favorite when I was like 15.
This would be a HIT in 2023

What a song. My sister liked it very much since the day it becomed hit. It was spring of 2003, I was 17 years old🙂
Middle school me is very happy and singing along right now. Faye's voice is fantastic.
My goodness this brings back so many memories of half a lifetime ago
Haven’t listened to this song since I was 13 and I still remember the lyrics 😆

Pretty solid stuff here. Both visually and vocally......Well done.
Thank you for posting their video: I LOVED this song growing up. 💚👌🏼
This was one of my favorite songs!
Ok but why did I get goosebumps at the end??
Holy shit, I forgot this entire song existed. Wooooowww what a welcomed feeling of nostalgia
Yes I remember this song and music video I miss the 00’s.
I remember this song. Sounds like something Aly and AJ would have come out with honestly.
Low key I can see Aly & AJ singing this
@Karl M but it’s true? It’s the same style

Tried to get back together like a decade ago...but of course infighting caused them to break up again.
