The music production team responsible for the group's success, Juergen Wind (J. Wind) and Frank Hassas (Quickmix), wrote and produced each of the group's hit singles and hit album between 1993 and 1995. During the early stages of the group's European success in 1993, German rapper Olaf Jeglitza (O-Jay) and American singer Patricia Petersen (Patsy) fronted the act as a rapper-singer duo. By 1994, singer Vanessa Mason had joined the group as the third member of the live act. At the height of the group's worldwide crossover success in 1995, Jeglitza, Petersen and Mason were officially marketed as a trio act under the shortened group name Real McCoy. Many years after the break up of the group, Petersen and Mason were revealed to have not been the real singers of the act. Both women had in fact been miming the vocals of studio singer Karin Kasar for all the group's music videos and live performances. Kasar was also never officially credited for singing vocals for all the group's music releases between 1993 and 1995.
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,[9] 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 spliting 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 ↴
The city doesn't sleep, 7 days a week
24, 24, 24 hours
We're leaving on a fast plane
24 hours, 24 hours
7 days a week
24 hours, 24 hours
I'm leaving on a fast plane
Dowtown, entertainment, love town, business
All around the clock, all around the world
Get faster, faster, get with this
24 hours of action, of happening satisfaction
You better stay strong 7 days a week
Cause the city never sleeps
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump, to move, no more siesta
All right you're fast
You'd better be faster
New York, Rio, Tokyo, London, Paris, here we go
You go, you can feel the heartbeat, the tempo, the city heat
Come, take a chance with the?.
Don't rush the hours the tropic jam
City lights so fast, so fast
No time to take a rest
Tic tac tic tic tac
Around the clock cause there is no doubt
No jump to move no more siesta
All right you're fast
You'd better be faster
