Their first single "Thinking It Over" cracked the UK Top 5, surprising fans and skeptics alike. A second single, "Doin' It", did not chart as well as their debut, making a modest impact at #14. At the same time the group was also addressing a lawsuit concerning their name. The matter was resolved by adding an 'X' to their band name, a decision that took into account suggestions from their fans.
Liberty X scored a UK #1 hit with the release of their third single, "Just A Little". With sales in excess of 500,000 units, "Just a Little" ended as the 7th best selling single of 2002. Their success was maintained with the release of both "Got To Have Your Love" (UK #2) and its parent album Thinking It Over, which debuted in the Top 3 of their respective charts. This was followed by another Top 10 success, "Holding On For You". Their debut album eventually earned multi-platinum recognition, selling close to 750,000 units in the UK.
The band's second album, Being Somebody, followed in 2003. Three additional Top 20 hit singles came from this record: "Being Nobody" (UK #3), "Jumpin" (UK #6), and "Everybody Cries" (UK #13). Being Somebody became certified gold and sold over 200,000 copies in the United Kingdom.
Their third full-length, X, was released in 2005. Despite the fact that it spawned another two additional Top 10 singles for the group, it became their least successful album to date. The singles released from this album included "Song 4 Lovers" (UK #5) and a remake of Shalamar's classic "A Night To Remember". Liberty X's version, which peaked at #6 in the UK, was used as the official track for the Children In Need charity. The third single to be released from the album was the title track "X", but due to lack of proper promotion, it peaked at #47. Their album, X, peaked at #27 in October of 2005 and sold over 50,000 copies.
In May of 2007 the band announced that they were splitting up stating that the music world had "changed too much since we began". They are all still friends and are currently working on solo projects.

What you tryin' to do?
Saw you lookin' over and before I knew
You were movin' that body
And there was nothing more to resist
No
And this is so close
But out of reach just enough
To keep my appetite in place
You must have got me hooked
'Cause I never ever felt like this
No, no, no
What you say that we lose control
And let our inhibitions go
Tease the moment
We both know it
Feels so right
It's the way that you move
It's the way that you taste
It's the way that you know how to turn up the heat
You're doin' it
(You're doin' it)
Oh I'm thirsting for you
Every night, Every day
Got a hunger inside and it won't go away
You're doin' it
(You're doin' it, Yeah)
Oh my
I just can't deny
My imagination's running overtime
Something about you has got a hold on me
Yeah
Let's play, no more guessing games
This is it
Let's admit that we're drawn to the flame
Let's get it on tonight
We'll take it all the way
Ooh
What you say that we lose control
And let our inhibitions go
Tease the moment
We both know it
Feels so right
It's the way that you move
It's the way that you taste
It's the way that you know how to turn up the heat
You're doin' it

Oh I'm thirsting for you
Every night, Every day
Got a hunger inside and it won't go away

Doin' it, Doin' it, Doin' it
Don't you know you're doin' it

Don't you know you're doin' it
Doin' it, Doin' it
Don't you know you're doin' it
You're
It's the way that you feel
(Every day)
The way that you touch me

What you say that we lose control

Tease the moment

The song "Doin' It" by Liberty X is essentially about two people who are heavily drawn to each other and give in to their desires. The opening lines suggest that the person singing (presumably a woman) has been caught checking out the object of their desire and they both end up in close proximity where the sexual tension is palpable. The lyrics express that the attraction is so strong that the singer becomes almost powerless to resist it, and the way in which the person moves, tastes and turns up the heat is irresistible to her. The lyrics also suggest that the passion that they have between them is almost too much to handle, but they should let go of their inhibitions and just go for it.

These are some gorgeous ladies. This was an awesome time to be alive having music like this.

It's amazing watching this that these were the rejects for Hear'say... aside from the fact that these guys can actually sing, they're far more attractive than any of the actual band members!

Same! I watched it when I was 11 and didn't understand what was going on in the video! When this came out in 2001, the world was reeling from the effects of 9/11, Windows XP was new and Blair and Bush were in power
