1984 proved their most succesful year, with a sell-out Twice Nightly tour, and their first Dutch chart-topping hit, Love Me Just A Little Bit More. A lot of merchandise was made, incl. the infamous Dolly Dots-dolls. In 1985, Anita left the band due to her pregnancy. In 1986 the Dots shot their Hollywood movie Dutch Treat, but it was not the smash hit they'd hoped for.
In 1987 the girls teamed up with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman, in hope to crack the British charts. The song "What A Night" proved to be their last original single. The band split up in 1988. In 1993 a Disco remix of "Love Me Just A Little Bit More" was released to promote the Gold album, but the girls did not participate at all themselves. In 1998 all six girls gave a full concert again to promote their double CD The Collection and a R&B remix of What A Night.
In 2004 a musical featuring their best loved songs toured the Netherlands, but did not feature any of the members of the group. In 2007, the band reunited once more to perform during a concert series also featuring other Dutch bands. They also decided to give three (already) sold-out reunion concerts in May 2007. Angela, Ria and Anita were the only members of the band to release solo records, but none were as succesful as their joint efforts as the Dolly Dots. On July 20, 2009, Ria died of cancer. She was only 52 years old.
The Dolly Dots are still listed in the Dutch Guiness Book of Records as the longest running Dutch Girl Band.
Biggest hits: Love Me Just A Little Bit More, Radio, Do Wah Diddy Diddy, Hela-Di-ladi-Lo, PS, S.T.O.P., Don't Give Up, She's A Liar, Do You Wanna Wanna, Boys, Leila and All the Roses.

If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop
S.T.O.P. - stop
If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop
Don't try to trick me,
That you can be a liar
Don't try to fool me,
'Cause I'm not insane
Watch out, you're playing with fire
Let's give it one more time
Don't give up on love
We really have to try
Let's hold on to your love
I can give you enough
so please, don’t let it die
S.T.O.P. - stop
If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop
S.T.O.P. - stop
If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop
Don't try to push you,
But please make up your mind
This can't go on much longer
Don't try to trap you,
But I think you should try
Should try a little stronger
Let's give it one more time
Don't give up on love
We really have to try
Let's hold on to your love
I can give you enough
so please, don’t let it die
S.T.O.P. - stop
If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop
S.T.O.P. - stop
If you don't give it to me
You gotta stop

The song "S.T.O.P." by the Dolly Dots is an upbeat pop song that speaks about a relationship that is on the rocks. The song starts with a plea to stop the harmful behavior the partner is exhibiting toward the singer. She calls out to the partner, demanding to stop the cruel behavior as she knows all the games he plays. She then goes on to say that he can be a liar and tries to trick her. She warns him that he is playing with fire and that he should stop.
The second verse talks about the uncertainty the singer feels in the relationship, she doesn't want to push her partner away, but she wants him to make up his mind. She points out that the constant back-and-forth cannot continue, and the partner must try harder to make the relationship work. The chorus reinforces the need for the partner to stop his behavior and suggests that they both should try one more time to hold onto their love.
Overall, the song is about the difficulties of relationships and the constant push and pull that can lead to a breakup. The singer implores her partner to put in more effort and try to work on the relationship to make it work.
