The band has released five studio albums - Sound Of The Underground (2003), What Will The Neighbours Say? (2004), Chemistry (2005), Tangled Up (2007) and Out of Control (2008), plus a Greatest Hits compilation, The Sound of Girls Aloud (2006). Major singles include Sound of the Underground, Love Machine, Biology, Something Kinda Ooooh, Call The Shots and The Promise. The girls have a record 20 consecutive top 10 singles under their collective belt now, including 4 number ones. Their lowest charting top ten single, The Loving Kind, reached number 10. However, the girls 21st single Untouchable ended their top ten streak, peaking at 11 in May. Despite this, up to week ending 21st June, it has outsold top ten singles (in order of release and highest peak in the UK chart) Wake Me Up (no.4), Long Hot Summer (no.7), See The Day (no.9), Whole Lotta History (no.6) and I Think We're Alone Now, (no.4).
The girls have embarked on five major UK tours to date, traditionally starting in April or May of each year, since 2005. The 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 shows have all been sold-out arena tours, earning the girls a reputation as putting on an explosive live show. The most recent tour, Out Of Control tour 2009, is the largest tour for the girls to date, selling out venues across the UK. They are also set to be the support for Coldplay at a number of their tour dates in September 2009, including Wembley Stadium, where the girls are expected to perform a 75 minute set.
Girls Aloud are unusual in that their management has never made a major push for them to be successful other than within the UK market, and despite their huge success in London, United Kingdom, they are relatively unknown elsewhere in the world. A shame, perhaps, as Pitchfork Media called them one of the two best girl groups of the 21st Century along with Sugababes. Girls Aloud performed a cover of Aerosmith and Run DMC's 'Walk This Way' for Children In Need, with Sugababes.
Girls Aloud released their fifth studio album, Out of Control, on November 3rd 2008. The album debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, selling over 85,000 copies. The lead single, the 60s flavoured The Promise, entered the UK Singles Chart at #1, selling more than 70,000 copies on its first week of release. The album coincides with band member Cheryl's appearance as a judge on UK TV show The X Factor, where she will manage the three final girls in an attempt to secure one of them a million pound recording contract over the other finalists. Cheryl is a judge alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue. The girls also released their autobiography, Dreams That Glitter, in October 2008.
After a three year hiatus, Girls Aloud returned in October 2012 for their 10th anniversary. A countdown on their website and social media accounts kicked off on 9th October with an announcement expected on Friday 19th October. Their 22nd single, 'Something New,' leaked online on 15th October following the release a teaser video and received high praise from fans. The track premiered on Capital FM the following day.
In March 20th 2013, after the last show of the tour of the album Ten, the group announced via Twitter that they disbanded.

Girls Aloud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Boy, did you ever think that loving would be nothing more than walking me home? (no, no)
'Cause I've been sitting back, no chance of falling, hoping that nothing ever blows (yeah, yeah)
Boy, did you ever think that loving would be nothing more than walking me home? (no, no)
Did you tell him? No, no, no
Give him kisses? No, no, no
Whisper honey? No, no, no
Were you dancing? No, no, no
Sweet as toffee? No, no, no
Get his number? No, no, no
Get him out of coffee? Hell yeah!
Get him out of coffee? Hell yeah!
I can't deny the way my
D-d-dirty mind is saying
"Lover, come and get me!" (get me)
But for a while I bought that d-d-dirty style,
When I discovered that it's sexy, sexy!
But you're knock knock knoking again, boy
Whoa oh, couldn't be good enough,
Gonna keep you waiting
Knock knock knocking again, boy
Whoa oh, get your sugar
Rush and do a little chasing
Did you tell him? No, no, no
Give him kisses? No, no, no
Whisper honey? No, no, no
You're god delicious? Hell no!
From top to bottom,
I'm the woman sunshine
He knows that reason will believe in my side
I give you nothing 'til you show me
Something, something, something
'cause damn good loving's what I'm really
Wanting, wanting, wanting
I can't deny the way my
D-d-dirty mind is saying
"Lover, come and get me!" (get me)
But for a while I bought that d-d-dirty style,
When I discovered that it's sexy, sexy!
When I discovered that it's sexy, sexy!
The lyrics to Girls Aloud's song "Sexy! No No No..." express a sense of power and control, as the singer asserts herself and her desires in a relationship. She starts by describing her reluctance to fall in love or get too involved, hoping that things will remain stable and predictable. However, as the chorus suggests, she can't deny the allure of her "dirty mind" and the desire to be pursued and desired by her lover. She also sets clear boundaries and expectations, making it clear that she won't settle for less than "damn good loving."
The verses contain a series of questions and refusals, as the singer rebuffs her lover's advances and demands. She won't give him kisses or flatter him with whispered compliments, and she won't settle for mediocre coffee dates or dance routines. However, the bridge suggests that she's not entirely immune to his charms, as she confesses to being tempted by his attention and desire.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of confidence and assertiveness, as the singer sets her own terms and boundaries in a relationship. She knows what she wants and won't settle for less, but she's also willing to be pursued and desired by someone who meets her standards.
Line by Line Meaning
'Cause I've been sitting back, no chance of falling, hoping that nothing ever blows (no, no)
I have been trying to play it safe and not take any risks in love, hoping to avoid any potential problems or conflicts.
Boy, did you ever think that loving would be nothing more than walking me home? (no, no)
Do you think that love is only about doing the bare minimum, like just walking me home, without any real effort or passion?
Did you tell him? No, no, no
Give him kisses? No, no, no
Whisper honey? No, no, no
You're god delicious? Hell no!
I did not express my feelings to him, I did not kiss him, I did not give him any sweet words, and I definitely did not call him a god. Absolutely not!
Were you dancing? No, no, no
Sweet as toffee? No, no, no
Get his number? No, no, no
Get him out of coffee? Hell yeah!
Get him out of coffee? Hell yeah!
I was not dancing, I was not sweet-talking him, I did not get his number, but I definitely got him out of just having coffee and made things more exciting.
I can't deny the way my
D-d-dirty mind is saying
"Lover, come and get me!" (get me)
But for a while I bought that d-d-dirty style,
When I discovered that it's sexy, sexy!
Even though I try to keep it clean, my dirty thoughts keep telling me that I want him to come and get me. I used to try to suppress them, but now I realize that being a little dirty can be sexy.
But you're knock knock knoking again, boy
Whoa oh, couldn't be good enough,
Gonna keep you waiting
Knock knock knocking again, boy
Whoa oh, get your sugar
Rush and do a little chasing
You're trying to come back into my life, but I'm not sure if you're good enough for me yet. I'm going to make you work for it and chase me a little bit instead of just giving in right away.
From top to bottom,
I'm the woman sunshine
He knows that reason will believe in my side
I am a confident and radiant woman from head to toe, and he knows that reason and common sense will always be on my side in any argument or disagreement.
I give you nothing 'til you show me
Something, something, something
'cause damn good loving's what I'm really
Wanting, wanting, wanting
I am not going to give you anything until you show me that you are truly interested and committed to giving me the amazing love that I deserve and want more than anything else.
