In 2000, a mash-up was produced, taking the music of Fragma's Toca Me and placing the vocals from Coco's I Need A Miracle over the top and renamed Toca's Miracle which gained further attention from DJs Pete Tong and Judge Jules. As Fragma and Coco were on the same record label at the time (Positiva), an official release was made, and went straight to number 1 in the UK charts, as well as in Australia and Ireland.
In 2001, an album was released; Toca, as well as two other singles; Everytime You Need Me (UK #3 hit), which featured vocals by Maria Rubia, and You Are Alive (UK #4 hit) with vocals by Damae.

In 2002, Fragma were permanently operating with vocalist Damae, and have released a second album; Embrace, with hit singles such as Say That You're Here (UK #25 hit), Embrace Me, Man In The Moon and Time And Time Again.

Fragma Lyrics

Me goodbye
Why are you making me cry
And why do I still believe
Why do you leave me this way
Why did I ask you to stay
So why do I still believe
The lyrics to Fragma's song "Why?" express the feeling of confusion and sadness when someone we love decides to leave us. The singer questions why the person has chosen to say goodbye and why they would want to make her cry. Despite the pain caused by this departure, the singer still believes that the relationship can be salvaged, asking why the person is leaving her in this way. The line "why did I ask you to stay" implies that the singer may have pushed the person away or made mistakes in the relationship, leading to the breakup. Despite these doubts and regrets, the singer still holds onto hope, wondering why she still believes in the possibility of a future with the person who has left her.
The lyrics of "Why?" are relatable to many people who have experienced heartbreak or the ending of a relationship. They capture the conflicting emotions of trying to let go while still hoping for reconciliation. The song's upbeat dance tempo and catchy chorus add to its appeal and make it a popular club anthem. Additionally, the song's use of synthesized sounds and electronic production techniques helped to define the Eurodance genre in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

Why do you tell
Why are you saying these words to me
Me goodbye
Goodbye is the message being conveyed to me
Why are you making me cry
Why are you causing me emotional pain
And why do I still believe
Despite the hurt, why do I hold on to hope
Why do you leave me this way
Why are you departing in such a manner
Why did I ask you to stay
Why did I request you to remain by my side
So why do I still believe
After everything, why do I still have faith
