Their first single, "Read My Lips (Saturday Night Party)" was an immediate success, and became an Ibiza anthem. The track was later included in the dance music collections like "Now Dance'95", "ID&T Top 500 Dancetracks" and many others.

After introducing a British-born singer to the group (Shanie Campbell) they released "Don't Give Me Your Life" single, similar in style to their debut track. It reached # 2 in the CIN charts and topped the Club Record category at Music Week's 1995 Awards. It was included in "Now That's What I Call Music! 30 (U.K. series)", "Hit Machine 13" and other popular compilation albums all over the world.

The group released an album entitled simply "Alex Party" (not 'U Gotta Be' or 'Wrap It Up' as incorrectly credited on some websites). The album contained the hits "Wrap Me Up" and "Simple Things" but did not contain the first single "Read My Lips (Saturday Night Party)" - only a remix of it - 'Read My Lips (September Party)'.

'U Gotta Be' was a standalone single released back in 2000 and it was also the last Alex Party single.

Shanie Campbell issued a remake of "Don't Give Me Your Life" under her own name, "Shanie" on May 5th 2008, which was accompanied by a music video.

More recently, there have been promo cd's distributed under the name Shanie - 'You're Still The One', 'Read My Lips' and 'Piano In The Dark' but these tracks have not been released officially as singles. The tracks are taken from an album announced some time ago on Shanie's myspace page, which she would be releasing.
The album was titled as 'Night Fever' but so far we have had no news regarding any release date.

Simple Things
Alex Party Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a way
I want to find
Something close to love
Knocking at your door
Again

Let's go out and spend some time
Like good friends

We don´t have to hide

()
I feel so much better
But I need her more than ever
You know
I'm not exaggerating things
Like I used to do before

I like simple things
Like holding hands
make you laugh

A song says more than I do
I don´t blame you Anymore

()
I feel so much better
But I need her more than ever
You know
I'm not exaggerating things
Like I used to do
A day before you came into my life

Si hay una manera
en la que pueda encontrar
algo cercano al amor
tocando tu puerta nuevamente

Vayamos afuera y pasemos algo de tiempo juntos
como buenos amigos
no nos tenemos que esconder

()
Me siento mucho mejor
pero la necesito más que nunca
tú sabes
no estoy exagerando las cosas como solía hacerlo antes.

Me gustan las cosas simples
como agarrarnos de las manos
hacerte reír

Una canción dice más que yo
no te culpo
no te culpo más

()
Me siento mucho mejor
pero la necesito más que nunca

tú sabes
no estoy exagerando las cosas como solía hacerlo antes un día antes que entraras a mi vida.
