She started her solo career in 1999 with a collaboration single along with Tin Tin Out for their single "What I Am", which peaked number 2 on the UK charts. Her debut solo album entitled "A Girl Like Me" was released in 2001, and spawned the UK number-one hit "What Took You So Long?", as well as the top five hits "What I Am" (a cover of a 1998's song earlier recorded by Edie Brickell & New Bohemians) and "Take My Breath Away" (which was not a cover of Berlin's 1986's hit), and top twenty hit "We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight". The album sold around 125,000 in the UK.
In spring of 2003, she returned as Emma (losing the Bunton), with the top five hit "Free Me" and later that year released "Maybe", which also went top ten and outsold the previous single. In spring of 2004, the single "I'll Be There" and the album "Free Me" were released. The album contained '60s-style pop gems and went on to outsell her first album, something other solo Spice Girls have yet to achieve. The album Free Me was released in the United States on January 25, 2005.
Emma released "Downtown" the official charity single for the BBC's 2006 Children in Need appeal, it reached number three. The album "Life in Mono" was released on (4 December).
We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight
Emma Bunton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's something about your
Friends are always there for you
Help you with the bad times
And they'll see you through
Being with a man is
Never quite the same
'Cause we just have some fun
I don't know where we will go
But I know we're
Gonna stop the show
Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're gonna get down tonight
See if we can make you blush
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Tonight, we're not gonna sleep
We will find the time
To party all night long
Now that we're together
We just can't go wrong
Dancing in the street
And making lots of noise
People want to join
Especially the boys
There's no way
It's just the girls
For tonight
We're in our own world
Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're gonna get down tonight
See if we can make you blush
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Tonight
All right
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Hey hey
We're not gonna sleep
(Sleep sleep)
Girls are on the town tonight
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're gonna get down tonight
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight
Girls are on the town tonight
Nothing can stop us
(Nothing can stop us)
You can see it in our eyes that
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're gonna get down tonight
(We're gonna get down tonight)
See if we can make you blush
(See if we can make you blush)
We can be mysterious and
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep
We're not gonna sleep tonight
(Tonight)
Oh oh
We're not gonna sleep tonight
We're not gonna sleep tonight

Si hubiera sacado el Album Version y como 4 single, esta canción hubiera sido top5. El 3 single y single navideño tenía que haber sido A World Without You.
@venikeque
