In 1997, while McClarnon was still in secondary school, her music teacher arranged for her to take part in an audition with musician Andy McCluskey, who was aiming to create a new girl group. The group became Atomic Kitten, who released their first record in 1999.
McClarnon is the only original member of the initial line-up of Atomic Kitten (Heidi Range was replaced by Natasha Hamilton in 1999, and Kerry Katona was replaced by Jenny Frost in 2001). Although the trio no longer record together as a group, they occasionally reform for one-off performances.
Atomic Kitten had three UK number one singles, Whole Again, Eternal Flame, and The Tide Is High. They also had two UK number one albums, Right Now, and Feels So Good, both being certified double-platinum in the UK for sales of over 600,000 copies each. The total worldwide sales are estimated at 6.2 million singles and 4 million albums.
On 4 March 2012 it was confirmed that Atomic Kitten would reform.
Following Atomic Kitten, McClarnon was signed to All Around the World Records. She released her first solo single, a cover of Barbra Streisand's 1980 hit "Woman in Love", on 13 February 2006. The track was produced by Graham Stack along with Robin Gibb (of the Bee Gees), who also originally co-wrote the song and whom McClarnon accompanied on his 2005 tour.
A video was released to promote the song featuring McClarnon in a Manhattan apartment, but it was actually filmed in McClarnon's home town of Liverpool. It was decided to release the single as a double A-side with a cover of Jackie Wilson's "I Get the Sweetest Feeling". The single peaked at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and, after more than six months on release, it peaked at number 16 in the Spanish charts on 22 October 2006. Also prior to her solo release, McClarnon appeared in the video for "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" with the FHM Hot 100, which charted at number 10 in the UK.
Since her first release, McClarnon has gone onto release one more single called "Don't It Make You Happy". The song was recorded in her bid to be selected for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 and McClarnon performed the track on the BBC's pre-Eurovision TV show Making Your Mind Up on 17 March 2007. However, she was unsuccessful and the single failed to chart the competition was won by pop band Scooch.
McClarnon also recorded a single entitled "Lately", with friend Jaime Jay for the Global One Music Project. The same song has been recorded by different artists all around the world in different languages, and in addition to English, McClarnon also recorded French and Spanish versions. The single was due to be released 18 May 2009, and although McClarnon and Jay had been promoting the single on a number of radio and TV shows, the release was postponed indefinitely..
Since then, McClarnon has continued recording her debut album. She parted ways with her old management company in April 2008, and is now managed by her ex-marketing manager, Scott Richardson at Belta CM. Her album has been cited for release sometime in Autumn 2010, with her first single from the album due for release in May 2010. She is also currently working on her new Cook Book, The Can't Cook, Cook Book, due for release at Christmas 2010.

McClarnon performed the track at the Midlands Festival in 2009.

On 27 December 2006 McClarnon appeared in the ITV documentary "The Girl With the Golden Hair", together with Richard O'Brien ("The Rocky Horror Show"). The documentary tells the story of the creation of the mini-rock opera of the same name, performed by the band ABBA during their 1977 Australian tour. McClarnon performs the three published numbers from that show, "Thank You for the Music", "I Wonder (Departure)" and "I'm a Marionette". She does not perform the final song from the musical, "Get on the Carousel", which was never released or published by ABBA, although a clip of the song shot during the tour does appear in the documentary.
On 25 July 2008, McClarnon was named "Celebrity Masterchef Champion". Since then she has gone on to hold a regular position on Market Kitchen on the Good Food Channel, commenting on recent cookery books. She also appeared on four episodes of LK Today teaching a new and simple recipe on each episode as well as being interviewed on the show.

Woman In Love
Liz McClarnon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the dream is gone
It's a lonelier place
I kiss the morning good-bye
But down inside you know
We never know why
The road is narrow and long
And the feeling is strong
I turn away from the wall
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?
With you eternally mine
In love there is
No measure of time
They planned it all at the start
That you and I
Live in each other's heart
We may be oceans away
You feel my love
I hear what you say
No truth is ever a lie
I stumble and fall
But I give you it all
I am a woman in love
And I'd do anything
To get you into my world
And hold you within
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
What do I do?
I am a woman in love
And I'm talkin' to you
You know how you feel
What a woman can do
It's a right I defend
Over and over again
The song “Woman in Love” by Liz McClarnon depicts a woman who is head-over-heels in love with her partner. The song starts with the idea that life is fleeting and when one’s dreams don’t come true, it can be a lonely place. The character in the song kisses the morning goodbye, but deep inside, she doesn’t know why her dreams never come true. The road of life is long and narrow, and in that journey, the two lovers meet each other, feel a strong connection and share each other’s lives.
The singer admits that she stumbles and falls in her journey of love, but she promises to give everything to her partner. She is a woman who is deeply in love and would do anything to be with him. She defends her right to love him over and over again, and it's stronger than any measure of time. The song continues with the idea that being in love is the most captivating feeling one can experience, and even if the two lovers are oceans apart, they can still feel each other’s love. The singer in the song is confident in the authenticity of the love she feels for her partner and knows that no truth will ever be a lie.

70年代因電影「往日情懷」而大紅大紫的歌曲
一對有情人的分離若干年後再次相遇
過往彼此共同擁有的點滴回憶浮上心頭
抑或是倆人初相識時的年少，到經過時間洗禮的熟悉
往事始終值得回味與苦澀
Memories light the corners of my mind
回憶 照亮了我內心的角落
Misty water-colored memories of the way we were
那些朦朧如水彩一般的過往回憶
Scattered pictures of the smiles we left behind
散落的照片哩，有我們遺落的笑容
Smiles we gave to one another for the way we were
為我倆的過去所給予彼此的笑容
Can it be that it was all so simple then
還能像從前一樣那麼單純嗎?
Or has time rewritten every line
還是時間重寫了每一行每一句?
If we had the chance to do it all again
如果我們有機會重來一遍
Tell me, would we, could we
告訴我，可以嗎?可能嗎?
Memories may be beautiful and yet
回憶也許是美麗的
What's too painful to remember
那痛苦得讓我們不願想起的是什麼?
We simply choose to forget
竟讓我們乾脆選擇了遺忘
So it's the laughter we will remember
於是，我們將只記住歡笑
Whenever we remember the way we were
當我們回憶起我倆的過去
The way we were
我們的過去......

Love this version, so gentle.... didn't know it is sung by one of the Atomic kitten members...now I do recognise that voice
@bartalinigibb
Great version to the Bee Gees Classic.
Writen by Barry Gibb and Robin Gibb in 1979.
Liz sings amazing too.
@algallego
Barbara Streisand sang it better.
@vileguile4
Barry sang a small part of it in what i think was the last concert Maurice was in. His voice is incredible and it's a crime he did not sing from start to end!!
@HaitianBlackGinger11
Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song. Barbra Streisand sing it with Maurice Gibb.

23 days to 2020 and I still love this music. Heard the original song in my toddler years and I hear my mom sing or hum this song whenever she was busy doing household chores. ☺
