Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs of the band had written and recorded the dance track 7 Ways To Love with Saint Etienne vocalist Sarah Cracknell on vocals but felt the song was too "cheesy" for the Etienne name. Therefore they released a 12" white label under the Cola Boy alias. After massive club success, it eventually got picked up by major label BMG Arista.
Due to contractual reasons, Stanley & Wiggs re-recorded the vocals using Cracknell's friend Janey Lee Grace's (now a BBC Radio 2 DJ) voice. For promotional purposes the band was represented by Grace and a friend of Bob Stanley's called Andrew.
The single went Top 10 and BMG asked them to follow it up with another single and potentially an album. The next single - co-written by Grace and Saint Etienne producer Ian Catt - called "He Is Cola" flopped and the Cola Boy project was shelved.
In February 2009, the alias was dusted off and applied to a remix for the latest Saint Etienne single "Method of Modern Love".

Brings back great memories of me and my brother. He died in 2018 aged 47 but this song keeps bringing him back to me. ❤

I love Saint Etienne 💖 This is such a nice high tone euphoric tune with mad BASS!
It goes very well with "High" by Hyper Go Go. And "Hug My Soul" 🌛
Simple but effective tune, succinct 💖

I live in Los Angeles, and I always loved St. Etienne during the 90's and a lot of people here never heard of them. When this song came out it went to number one in the alternative charts. I first heard of them when Only Love Can Break Your Heart first came on the radio here. Ever since then I was hooked.

Ah, you was listening to M.A.A.R.S FM. That was a cool station. Power 106 played a remixed version of Only Love Can Break Your Heart. Can't find it YouTube though.

Top top dance track from the masters of chilled melancholy electro. Beautiful.

You love this bad singing version (St Etienne) more because the Cola Boy original posted on yt are all low sound quality ... you should hear the proper HQ original version ..
