The final Real McCoy album One More Time was released in 1997. Wind produced the album without Hassas' involvement. After Petersen's departure from the group, singer Lisa Cork was recruited into the act by American songwriter/producer Brent Argovitz. Since Kasar was not involved in recording vocals for the album, Cork and Mason sang vocals on the album instead. Jeglitza and Argovitz also worked together as songwriters for the production. The lead single (also titled One More Time) achieved major commercial success in Canada and Australia, but the commercial sales of the album itself worldwide in comparison to Another Night were considered a disappointment. The failure of the album ultimately caused the quick demise of the group's lineup in 1997.
In 1999, an new version of the group's 1990 hit "It's On You" and a new single "Hey Now" was released with an all new group lineup. Both singles failed commercially resulting in the production team permanently breaking up. In the years after the breakup, Jeglitza continued to release new independent singles under the name Real McCoy without Wind or Hassas' involvement.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Somebody's watching you watching me,
somebody out there, though it is not an illusion a vision,
it's reality, you better watch out watch out watch out, they could be everywhere.
Defenders surrender forget about the logical limit,
cuz straight out of space they came to rescue the planet.
Invaders, crusaders, emergency operators.
Somebody's watching you watching me, somebody. (emergency)
Chorus:
Operator, operator, this is an emergency, somebody's watching me,
operator, operator this is an emergency. (operator emergency)
Operator operator, this is an emergency, somebody's watching me. Operator, operator, this is an emergency. (operator emergency)
The story continues, don't worry be happy, don't panic
cuz the strangers from out of space ain't cruel or satanic.
They came to save the human race before we're lost in space
we've reached a point of no return, we've got to live and learn.
We are the space invaders, we are the space invaders, on a mission to control the universe.
We are the space invaders, the star crusaders,
on a mission to save planet earth.
Chorus
We are the space invaders...we are the space invaders. (Emergency)
Chorus twice
We are the space invaders...we are the space invaders.
We are the space invaders.
