Originally comprising of Lyane Leigh and American-born Raz-Ma-Taz (Richard Michael Smith), the group started in 1994 and recorded throughout the rest of the 1990s. However by June 1996, both members of the group had left due to a disagreement between Leigh and producer David Brandes. E-Rotic was now comprised of Jeanette Christensen and Terence d'Arby (not to be confused with Terence Trent D'Arby). Lyane Leigh continued to provide vocal work for several albums until 1999 due to contract, but she and Raz-Ma-Taz formed their own group in the meantime, known as SEX Appeal. In October of the same year, d'Arby was replaced by ChΓ© Jouaner.
Christensen left in 2001, and the new vocalist was Yasemin Baysal, previously of the group Das Modul. However, both Jouaner and Baysal left in 2002, and the new vocalist and rapper would be Lydia Madawjewski (who had been providing vocals since Lyane Leigh's departure in 1999) and Robert Spehar. However, it has been revealed that the actual rap performer for the group in the studio has actually been the producer David Brandes.

E-Rotic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhh
Oh, gimme ecstasy
Love, love, love's not enough
Normal way is gonna make you stay
I'll show you tonight what's good for you
And if you refuse it, we are through
Cheers, cheers, cheers of a crime
Please, please, don't ask me why
What's good for you, is good for me
I give to you pure ecstasy
Oh, gimme ecstasy
When you come tonight
Gimme ecstasy, baby, do it right
Make my body ache
And give to me all I can take
I can take
Gimme ecstasy
Let me fly away
Gimme ecstasy, everything's okay
Baby, can't you see
I want you to feel what I feel
What I feel
Gimme ecstasy, gimme ecstasy, gimme ecstasy
I want you to feel what I feel
What I feel
Hearts, hearts, hearts to be cool
I'm the mess and you really do
I will get your body till you feel the heat
Babe, I know what you really need
Dreams, dreams, dreams aren't true
Whatever we'll be, it's up to you
I really love your energy
And give to you pure ecstasy
Ahhh, ahhhh, ahhh, ahhh, oh gimme ecstasy
The lyrics of E-Rotic's song "Ecstasy" reflect a desire for a heightened physical and emotional experience. The repetition of the phrase "gimme ecstasy" throughout the song emphasizes the craving for a deeply satisfying sensation. Love is dismissed as insufficient, as the singer seeks something more intense and transformative. The suggestion is that the "normal way" of experiencing love and pleasure is not enough to fully satisfy the singer's desires.
The lyrics also suggest a willingness to engage in risky behavior ("cheers, cheers, cheers of a crime") in pursuit of ecstasy. The offer to "show you tonight what's good for you" implies a certain level of self-confidence and control that is necessary to deliver the desired experience. However, the lyrics also suggest a level of vulnerability, as the singer fears that rejection of the offer of ecstasy could end the relationship.
