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.

I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me
Exposé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Havin' a good time with all your good-time friends
I don't think that you think of me
You're on your own now, and I'm alone and free
I know that I should get on with my life
But a life lived without you could never be right
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
I try to smile so the hurt won't show
Tell everybody that I was glad to see you go
But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)
Loneliness found me, looks like it's here to stay
I know that I oughta find someone new
But all I find is myself always thinking of you
As long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
Oh, no matter what I do
Each night's a lifetime to live through
I can't go on like this
I need your touch
And you're the only one I've ever loved
Oh
And as long as the stars shine down from the heavens
Long as the rivers run to the sea
I'll never get over you getting over me
I'll never get over you getting over
Never get over you getting over
I'll never get over you getting over me
The lyrics to Expose's song "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" deal with the pain of a breakup and the struggle to move on. The singer acknowledges that her ex-partner is likely enjoying their newfound freedom with their friends, while she is left alone to come to terms with the end of their relationship. She knows that she needs to move on, but the pain of the breakup is too great.
The song's chorus repeats the line "As long as the stars shine down from the heavens, long as the rivers run to the sea, I'll never get over you getting over me." This metaphor highlights the universality of the pain of heartbreak. Just as the stars and rivers will always exist, so too will the pain of losing someone we love.
The second verse continues the theme of the struggle to move on. The singer tries to put on a brave face and pretend that she's fine without her ex, but she can't escape the loneliness and sadness that haunts her. She knows that she should try to find someone new, but she can't stop thinking about her ex.
Overall, "I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me" is a heart-wrenching ballad that speaks to anyone who's ever struggled to move on from a relationship. The lyrics capture the pain of heartbreak and the difficulty of letting go of someone we love.
