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.

Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue
Exposé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You should see the way they talk behind my back
They say that you found another and that you're gonna leave
But you wouldn't do that to me, so
[Chorus]
Say it ain't true,
The things that they've been sayin'
But don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
'Cause your baby never looked good in blue
Your baby never looked good in blue
In the mornin', starin' into your eyes,
Your eyes look everywhere, everywhere but mine (everywhere but mine)
And, darlin', I've got a feelin' that the tears are gonna start
And losin' you would tear my world apart, so
[Chorus]
Tell me (tell me) you still love me
Show me (show me) you're still mine
Don't tell me there's somebody new
'Cause you don't wanna see your baby cry
Oh
No no no no no
[Chorus]
[Repeat: x2]
Your baby never looked good in blue
The song "Your Baby Never Looked Good In Blue" by Exposé tells the story of a woman who hears rumors that her partner is leaving her for someone else. The lyrics express her fears and insecurities, as well as her hope that the rumors are untrue. She is begging her partner not to break her heart and leave her for someone else. She tells him that his baby (meaning herself) never looked good in blue, which is a reference to the traditional symbolism of blue as the color of sadness and melancholy. The woman is hoping that her partner will stay with her and not make her feel sad and blue.
The verses of the song are filled with the woman's worries and doubts. She hears rumors from others that her partner has found someone new and will leave her. She wants to believe that these rumors are untrue, but her fear that she will be abandoned makes her anxious that the rumors may be true. She tries to convince herself that her partner would never leave her, but in her heart, she is scared of being left alone. The chorus of the song is a plea from the woman to her partner not to break her heart by leaving her. She tells him that his baby never looked good in blue, implying that she would be heartbroken if he were to leave her. The song ends with a repeating refrain of this line.

You should hear what they're sayin' about you
There are negative things being said to me about you
You should see the way they talk behind my back
I am being gossiped about behind my back
They say that you found another and that you're gonna leave
Rumors are spreading that you have found someone else and will leave me
But you wouldn't do that to me, so
I trust that you would not treat me that way
Say it ain't true,
The things that they've been sayin'
Please tell me that the rumors are not true
They say that you found someone new
But don't break my heart (don't break my heart)
'Cause your baby never looked good in blue
Others are saying you have a new lover, but please don't hurt me like that because it will be devastating
In the mornin', starin' into your eyes,
Your eyes look everywhere, everywhere but mine (everywhere but mine)
And, darlin', I've got a feelin' that the tears are gonna start
And losin' you would tear my world apart, so
In the morning, when I look into your eyes, I feel like you're avoiding looking at me, and it makes me sad to think of losing you
Tell me (tell me) you still love me
Show me (show me) you're still mine
Don't tell me there's somebody new
'Cause you don't wanna see your baby cry
Please reassure me that you still love me and that you are still mine. Don't tell me there's someone new, because that would make me cry.
Your baby never looked good in blue
I know I cannot handle losing you

......MMMMM, the memories, kids, the memories...may I indulge? ; )
This was a 'special' video, filmed on a limited tour they did, for their VHS (!) Video Collection, "EXPOSE: Video Exposure"....also, it was to show that they can SING, and are actual performers; around this time, there were rumblings about Milli Vanilli not singing ANY of their songs (...that whole shebang blew UP and OUT, Oct. of 1990), and, EVERYONE became under fire....people were even accusing Whitney as a fake lip-syncer! : O
Expose then worked with Barry Manilow, singing backup on 'Jingle Bells' for his 1990 Christmas Album, and, it was all well and good; until Gioia left in 1991, because of a throat condition, that rendered her unable to sing ever again.....ONLY to appear a the lead vocalist of HARD ROCK band, in 1992!!
....I was working at a Sam Goody, and My Floor Manager gave me a promo 8x 10 press release & CD of the Band, and I screamed, "OH MY GOD, THAT'S GIOIA, SHE'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE SINGING!!".... a-HAAA, BUSTED!!
.....but, these gals delivered the GOODS then, and I wouldn't look good in BLUE, without them!
@FaytLinegod
This song is criminally underrated. Jeanette does such a wonderful job with it.❤❤❤❤❤
@stevencourtney7008
Wow. Expose was the group in the '80s/early '90s. They NEVER got the respect they deserved.
@marksouthcott2740
Their #17 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1990
@BillG37
Awesome song, and Jeanette's voice is one of my favorite female voices!!! :)
@shihlin1
AH, childhood memories when Expose ruled the airwaves.
I remember their first radio song "Come Go With Me", but "Seasons Change" put them on the map.
Radio played their songs until "I Wish the Phone Would Ring" in 92.
Sure miss listening to their songs on the radio
@vivsleigh2054
One of the best girl groups of all times. Luv then!!
@3x157
Very smart move to go from dance to ballads in the early 90s. It worked in their favor
@horserun2551
This song is so full of emotion with Jeanette providing the vocals. Her vocal in this song is amazingly fitting.
@hitmangfx7162
I think it's fair to say they out-Bangled the Bangles in this one. The vocal harmonies are to die for.
@billsgwn
The Bangles can hold their own as both groups were awesome
