Their debut album, All Saints, was released in 1997 with the first single "I Know Where It's At" reaching #4 on the UK charts. The next single, "Never Ever", launched All Saints as stars, selling over two million copies in the United Kingdom also. They later went on to release their second full length studio album, Saints & Sinners in 2000.
The band scored a total of five #1 singles. They split acrimoniously in 2001 after much speculation and rumour. Nicole and Natalie went on to form the duo Appleton, whilst Melanie and Shaznay have also gone on to enjoy (moderate) solo success.
On January 24, 2006 it was announced that the band had reformed. All Saints had signed a deal with Parlophone Records and their comeback single for the label, 'Rock Steady' was a considerable commercial success, charting at number 2. However, 'Studio 1', their third album peaked at a disappointing number 40 in the UK chart.
A further single - 'Chick Fit' - was released via download only, and the group left Parlophone shortly after in 2009.
In November 2013, it was announced that the group would be reforming to support the Backstreet Boys for five dates across the UK and Ireland in 2014.
"We are really looking forward to performing together as special guests of the Backstreet Boys," the group said in a statement.
All Saints will released their fourth studio album entitled Red Flag on 8 April 2016. The lead single from the album, "One Strike", was released on 26 February 2016.

Say what say what!
Yo yo yo, there she comes
Go girl with your fine ass.
You keep asking, for my time. (thats right)
You keep tellin me that I'm fine. (*whistles*)
Give me your number, I won't call. (you won't what?)
I know that you want a piece of my ass. (ass)
Don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last? (last)
Not a player, don't get played.
I'll leave you hanging, (I'll leave you hanging) for days.
don't send me flowers, they won't do.
Don't give me diamond rings, cause I'll take them and call you a fool.
c'mon why you do me like that? (call you a fool) Can't you see that I want to feel that?
c'mon why you do me like that? Can't you see that I bought a hall mat?
Why's this fool all up in my ass? Doesn't he know I want class not trash?
(ohh ohhh)
Why's this fool all up in my ass? Doesn't he know that I got my own cash?
I know that you want a piece of my ass.(I know you want a piece of my ass)
Don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last? (no no no no)
Look don't touch you're asking much.
Why's this fool all up in my ass?
(Nah nah baby, nah nah baby, nah nah baby!)
Doesn't he know I want class not trash?
Why's this fool all up in my ass? Doesn't he know that I got my own cash?
(Nah nah baby! nah nah baby! nah nah baby!)
You want what you can not have!
I know that you want a piece of my ass. (ass)
Don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last? (last)
Look don't touch you're asking much!
I know that you want a piece of my ass. (ass)
I'm all hooked up, you're outta luck!
Don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last? (last)
Look don't touch you're asking much!
I know that you want a piece of my ass. (ass)
I'm all hooked up, you're outta luck! (out of luck)
Don't you know that a guy like you wouldn't last?

The song “All Hooked Up” by All Saints is about a man who is trying to win over the attention of the singer, but she is not interested. The lyrics demonstrate the singer's confidence in herself and her ability to stand up for what she wants. She denied his offers for flowers, diamond rings and phone numbers. The lyrics convey the message of not settling for someone who does not meet one's standard, even if they beg for it.
The chorus of the song reflects the theme, as the singer is repeatedly telling the man that he cannot have her, even though he wants a piece of her. The lyrics “I'm all hooked up, you're outta luck” suggest that she has moved on from him and found someone better. The song’s upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a fun and empowering song that encourages people not to settle for anything unworthy of who they are.
