In 1994 and 1995 they won the Brit Award for Best British Dance Act. In 1994, they won the Mercury Music Prize for the album Elegant Slumming. The victory sparked controversy as they beat Britpop band Blur, who were deemed by critics to be more 'worthy' than a mere dance band. With ten Top Ten UK singles, the band was one of the most consistent hit-makers of the 90s, and the album Bizarre Fruit stayed in the UK charts for two years.
In the United States, their biggest success was on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, where they achieved five Top 5 singles, four of which hit number one.
With the closure by BMG of the deConstruction dance record label in the late 1990s, M People gained their own record label called M People Records to release their 1997 album Fresco.
After the release of The Best of M People in 1998, the band took a long break. Heather Small recorded a solo album and it seemed that the band had split, although a repackaged greatest hits album was released in 2005 and the band also embarked on a short tour of the UK. Small continued to pursue a solo career, as her song Proud was the soundtrack to the successful London 2012 Olympic Bid.

M People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The earth will pass by if the ransom is right.
Don't worry I won't cause you any harm,
My only weapon is my charm.
Because I got no past I got no time to waste.
I am the goodness of your own good taste.
Hold me there, hold me so tight.
Kidnap me I won't put up a fight.
You and me, a love rendezvous somewhere in paradise.
You and me, a love rendezvous of lovers outta sight.
Patti sang horses, Stevie got uptight,
But I'm tellin' you everything is alright.
I'll make the drop I'll honour the deal.
We'll be love banditos, it'll feel so real.
You name the place, I'll make the time.
Just come along, it'll be so sublime.
I wanna feel good deep in your arms.
I wanna bathe in your own sweet charm.
Because...
You and me, a love rendezvous somewhere in paradise.
You and me, a love rendezvous. 2 hearts meet outta sight.
You and me, a love rendezvous somewhere in paradise.
You and me, a love rendezvous. 2 hearts meet outta sight.
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
So you name the place, I'll make the time.
Just come along, it'll be so sublime.
I wanna feel good deep in your arms.
I wanna bathe in your own sweet charm.
Because...
You and me a love rendezvous somewhere in paradise.
You and me a love rendezvous. 2 hearts meet outta sight.
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
Uptight, outta sight (of lovers outta sight).
