The group achieved 18 top-20 singles and four top-10 albums, and were one of the UK's most popular boy bands during the early to mid-1990s, aided by strong tabloid interest in their 'bad boy' image, compared to the 'clean cut' image of rivals Take That. Their style blended pop and hip hop in songs such as "House of Love" and "Let It Rain".
They have sold over 18 million albums worldwide and according to the British Phonographic Industry (BPI), they have been certified with sales of 1.8 million albums and 2.4 million singles in the UK. Their biggest hit, "Stay Another Day", was the UK Christmas number one in 1994.
The group continues today under the line-up of Terry Coldwell, Joe Livermore and former Artful Dodger collaborator Robbie Craig.

East 17 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And put some music on
Let our bodies sing
Swing 2 the soft song
I feel ya heat
It's turning me on
I want to feel ya all night long so
Come close, as close as you can
I want to toss, I want to tumble
Feel and fumble, I want to do it
Till my belly rumbles
So lay back and
Close your eyes and
While I fiddle you can fantasize
Yeah
While I fiddle you can fantasize
*Deep baby deep deep down
Like sleep sugar, so rest upon my chest
What ya body wants
I got dis
Whatcha need indeed
I'm gonna rock this
I dream you scream and tighten ya hold
I tiggle in the middle as we giggle
In I go, oh, deep and down deeper
Like an ocean
As I push I blow ya emotions
You explode, like dynamite
you got the fuse but to ya fuse I got the light
Together we swing
Shh!, I hear our souls sing
A symphony, a lovers harmony
Yeah,
Can you hear the harmony?
Repeat *
I'm gonna kiss ya from ya head 2 ya toes and then
I'm gonna lick ya where you'd love me to go, yeah!
Oil ya skin within hold ya tight

If you lick the knife
And take a shower
Maybe bubble the bath

I'll be the sponge, the sponge
The sponge that wets you down
Then I'll be the towel upon
Your naked body, wrapped around
And then as our game comes 2 an end
We'll start again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

As a teenage boy in the early 90's I wasn't interested in East 17. However, looking back I fully appreciate how good they were. Love this tune along with many others they produced.
@DannyM.D.N.A
Only one who wasnβt bruv
@Darren-gy2pz
I was 18 when this come out I'm flipping 50 this year time goes so fast
@alibrown5917
Tunes were great. Long live the 90s
@marioschroers7318
Absolutely same. Never gave a damn about these boy bands back in the day (I rather despised them, to be honest). Now as a man at the literal half of his life, I realized how wrong I was.
This song in particular on the Internet now has the reputation of a Β»bang songΒ«, which I think is not just. Listening on headphones, I realize the quality of the bass line, for example.
Britain always excelled in music, and this 90s boy pop was, in fact, no exception.
@Emmylou375
Magic, love the little piano mix
Deeply in love β€
@RandomnessTube.
Just turned 40 say what you want about this band they made some fresh music in the 90s that still sounds great to this day.
@Jase73
Love this song. Takes me back to my youth. Iβm 48 now.
Lead singer Tony Mortimer is 50 π±
