The group comprises founding members Melanie Blatt and Shaznay Lewis, and sisters Nicole and Natalie Appleton.

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.

Always Something There To Remind Me
All Saints Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I walk along those city streets you used to walk along with me
And every step I take recalls how much in love we used to be

How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free

You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh

If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just go back to the places where we used to go
And I'll be there

How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
You'll always be a part of me
Whoa-ooo-ohhh-oh
Whoa-oh-ooo-ohhh

F you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share
Just come back to the places where we used to go
And I'll be there

How can I forget you
When there is always something there to remind me?
Always something there to remind me
I was born to love you
And I will never be free
When there is
When there is
When, there, is
Always something there to remind me

Always something there to remind me
Always something there to remind me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to All Saints's song Always Something There to Remind Me express the pain and nostalgia of a lost love. The singer walks along the same city streets that they used to walk with their ex-partner and every step reminds them of their former love. The repetition of the phrase "always something there to remind me" emphasizes the constant presence of memories that trigger their emotions. The chorus also highlights the singer's feeling of being unable to move on and escape from their past, as they were "born to love you" and "will never be free."

The second verse suggests that their former love may feel the same way, as the singer invites them to return to the places they used to visit together and promises to be there. This reveals a longing for the relationship to be rekindled and hints at the possibility that their former love may also be carrying a torch. Ultimately, the song is a poignant reminder of the power of memory and the pain of lost love.
