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.
Bootie Call
All Saints Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bring it on, bring it bring it on now
Never stop givin good love 'cause that's what I call you for
Never stop baby give it up
'Cause I know where it came from you got more
I like playing games, and if it's all the same
You can bring it on with the ruff stuff
I need a man to be a real man In order of what I got in store
Always finish what you start baby
And always having me beg for more
You know I want to be a diggy down boy
But I don't get around
Jimmy has to ride in your pocket
Or lock him in your wallet
It's just a bootie Call
Bring it on, bring it bring it on now(It's bootie call)
Bring it on, bring it bring it on now(It's just a bootie call)
Bring it on, bring it bring it on now(It's a bootie call)
Bring it on, bring it bring it on now
Gaining you what is baby Things are always good to have
You never let me down
I'm always happy, when you made me laugh
But Don't try to find, this Heart of mine
Emotions will come into my head, so don't be mislead
My heart doesn't need to be fed
Only tryin' to be smart baby, don't need the rollercoaster ride
I've been and seen it all yeah yeah
Don't want you messing with my mind
So don't be a fool, keep this as your number one rule
Good lovins not always from the heart, you gotta be smart
Stay just the way you are (a bootie call)
It's just a bootie call(It's a bootie call)
It's just a bootie call
Bring it on, bring it bring it on (It's bootie call)
Bring it on, bring it bring it on (It's just a bootie call)

Do you really love me baby
It's a bootie call It's a bootie call It's a bootie
It's a bootie call It's a bootie call It's a bootie call It's a bootie
The lyrics to All Saints’ song “Bootie Call” describe the desire for a casual sexual relationship without emotional attachment. The chorus brings this idea to the forefront, repeating the words “Bring it on” while hinting at the temporary nature of the relationship, as stated in the subtext “It’s just a bootie call”. The singer of the song wants a man who will fulfill her desires without the complications of a long-term relationship. She makes it clear that she likes to play games, and that she needs a man who can handle her needs and wants, but not become emotionally attached. The verses show a lack of trust in men and their emotional intentions. The singer wants to protect her heart and be smart about her choices. Throughout the song, she emphasizes the importance of good lovemaking, but that it doesn’t necessarily come from the heart.
The lyrics reflect a common mindset that exists in society today, wherein individuals can desire the physical and sexual fulfillment without being committed to a long-term relationship. The song showcases the idea of a woman who is ready to fulfill her expectations without the restrictions of an emotional relationship. It highlights the importance of a mutually consensual agreement regarding the expectations of the relationship.

Albert Al make 2020’s the new 90’s a Renaissance is needed. The industry won’t change until the people demand it. Right now they can continue making money off bad generic music because the people have poor taste and are content with it

Today is my first time hearing this song in 20 years! I’ve spent those last years trying to find this and had no luck no matter how and where I searched, until I watched a documentary that included this.
I grew up since I was 5 thinking I imagined hearing this song, can’t believe I finally found it after all this time!
@garysmith5741
I know exactly how you feel. I heard this song on MTV after it came out and loved it. Then always wondered what happened to it and what it was called. It seemed like it wasn’t played much. Glad I found it.
@thescribe3184
This is the first time I ever heard this song. It's terrible.
