Exposé was initially formed in 1984 when Lewis Martineé, a Miami disc jockey and producer, decided to form a dance-based group. He also wrote and produced all songs on their first two albums, Exposure (1987) and What You Don't Know (1989). He also contributed to the group's third effort, Exposé, in 1992.
During the recording of the group's first studio album Exposure, the personnel of the group changed.
In March 1987, the new lineup of Exposé released its debut album Exposure on Arista Records, led by the pop/dance hit "Come Go with Me" which reached #5 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. During the summer of 1987, a re-recorded version of "Point of No Return" was released, with Jurado now performing lead vocals, and it too topped out at #5 on the US Hot 100.
Their most successful period was from 1986 until 1995 when they were dropped from Arista Records. They were inactive from 1996 until 2003 when they performed a reunion concert and soon after performed full time.
Billboard magazine named the group the 8th most-successful girl group of all-time based on charts.

Exposé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Extra, extra)
He's got the eyes I can't forget
His lips I always long to kiss
His arms hold me oh-so tight
Here's (here's) a toast to our new love (a toast to our new love)
I'll tell the world who my love is
[Chorus]
Extra, extra
Read all about it
Extra, extra
Read all about my love
He says the things I long to hear
The inspiration of my dreams
Your season's all I want to see
No (no), holding back my love is wrong (holding back my love is wrong)
And now (and now) you'll know who my love is
I said, you'll know who my love is
[Chorus x 2]
No (no), holding back my love is wrong (holding back my love is wrong)
And now (and now) you'll know who my love is
I said, you'll know who my love is
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Exposé's song Extra Extra talk about a new love that the singer has found. She describes the physical and emotional aspects of the relationship, mentioning the man's eyes, lips, and arms that make her feel deeply loved and held. She also talks about the way he speaks to her and inspires her, making her want to see the world through his eyes. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Extra, extra, read all about my love" which indicates that the singer wants the whole world to know about this relationship and the intensity of emotions that she feels towards her loved one.
The singer then goes on to declare that holding back her love is wrong, and with these lyrics, she seems to be convincing herself to let her emotions out and not be afraid of her feelings. By revealing her love to the world, she seems to be taking ownership of her emotions and freeing herself from any guilt or shame associated with them. The song concludes with a repeated chorus that encourages listeners to read all about the singer's love, bringing the song full circle.

Love this song. Ann Curless sounded great on this track
Sarah McKinney
Ann should’ve gotten to sing more... her voice is so strong, a lot of conviction. I’m 34 but got obsessed with them when I was 11... I’ve gotten to tell Gioia this online, Lol... this is a bop but I can’t decide a favorite from this album... :)
Mason Garrett
This is one of the greatest songs of all times that didn't chart that high!
Richard Scott
It may not have been a single, but it tore up the radio in Los Angeles. It might have made the radio airplay charts.
