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.

Catch your eye for a second long enough
I know you got it going on tonight
But what your searching for ain't hard to find
(want you up)
On my body body
Make me want it want it
Got me hot I gotta dance tonight
On my body body
Make me want it want it
Got me hot I gotta dance tonight
You got that look
Come on girls you know you want this
All you boys you got to own it
One more hit on the dance floor tonight
You got that look
Send my body into fever
Feel the rhythm taking over
One more hit on the dance floor tonight
Then you're gonna take me home
You don't understand
You know I won't respond to your advance
'Till we hit the floor
You gotta have the moves if you want to dance
We can take it slow, but boy you gotta know
When to work harder, make me want to, take you home
Ooh baby come on
I don't know
How to say
The kinda words to make you
Believe my intentions are good
But you're so bad
I only want to
I want to show you a good time tonight
Come on home
Don't be shy
Be yourself
Cause you blow my mind
Cause you're so fine
Come on home
Be my girl tonight
The Liberty X song, Take Me Home, is a classic dance track about meeting someone at the club and feeling an immediate attraction to them. It starts with the singer walking into the club and catching the eye of the person they are interested in. The lyrics describe the physical attraction felt by the singer and the desire to dance with this person. The chorus is an invitation to dance together and create a moment of intimacy on the dance floor. The lyrics suggest that the attraction is mutual and both parties are eager to take things to the next level. The singer acknowledges that they want to take things slow but also wants to show their interest in this person.
The verse following the chorus describes the singer's hesitance toward being approached by the person they are interested in. They suggest that they won't respond to an advance until they hit the dance floor. This implies that dancing is a key factor in building the attraction between the two parties. The verse also describes the importance of good dance moves in building that attraction. The singer is expecting the person to take control and lead the dance, and in doing so, to create a strong connection with them.
The last verse is an expression of the singer's desire to be pursued by this person. They acknowledge that they don't know how to express their intentions but assure the person that they only want to have a good time with them. The chorus repeats, with the singer asking the person to come on home with them and be their partner for the night.
Overall, Take Me Home is a fun and upbeat track that celebrates the joy of dancing and the thrill of meeting someone new. It's a classic club song that creates a sense of excitement and anticipation among its listeners.

Cause you're so fine
Because you're incredibly attractive
Be my girl tonight
Be my partner for the night
