Their second single, I Wish, was equally well-received by critics and bloggers but failed in the charts. Third single One Touch, formerly titled "Do You Wana Candy", debuted at a live performance in February, 2010. "One Touch", released in May, 2010, also charted poorly, not even breaking the top 100, despite often being cited as the duo's best single.
Mini Viva supported The Saturdays on the Work Tour in 2009. In 2010, Frankee and Britt toured small venues, worked DJ gigs, and supported Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity.
Britt announced, on 10 Nov 2010, that the duo was no longer together and plans for the long-delayed full-length were canceled.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And was close to you, in your sleep
And I don't deny, waiting
For the little light from you
And I wish that I had tried
Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough would love come home, home again
Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough
Would love come home, home again
And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
I was watching you, leaving
Didn't know that love cut so deep
How was I to know baby,
All the tears I cry for you
And I wish that I had tried
Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough would love come home, home again
And I wish that I had tried
Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough
Would love come home, home again
And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
Feels like starry eyed
I'm alone, alone on a slowly, lonely ride
Each time I decide to get off, I drop in rolling, holding tight
Feels like starry eyed
I'm alone, alone on a slowly, lonely ride
Each time I decide to get off, I drop in rolling, holdingâ?¦ Holding
And I wish that I had tried
Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away
Oh no, if I wish that hard enough would love come home, home again
And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
And I go oh no
He could be the one who hits the light inside my soul
Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
The song "I Wish" by Mini Viva is a reflective piece about love lost and missed opportunities. The lyrics speak of a love that was once strong and intimate but has since faded away, leaving the singer filled with regret and longing. The opening lines describe the deep connection the singer shared with their lover – they were "one with you, breathing" and "close to you, in your sleep". However, despite this closeness, the singer did not try hard enough to hold onto their love, and now they have lost it. The line "And I don't deny, waiting for the little light from you" suggests that the singer was hoping for a sign to continue the relationship, but it never came.
The chorus reflects the singer's regret and longing, as they wish they had tried harder to make the relationship work. The repetition of the line "Mm baby I now wished that 'us' away" highlights the weight of the singer's remorse. The lyrics also suggest a desire to bring back the lost love – "if I wish that hard enough would love come home, home again". This line reflects the universal human experience of wishing we could turn back time and make different choices to avoid losing what we hold dear.
The song's bridge talks about the singer's difficulty in moving on from the relationship. They feel "alone, alone on a slowly, lonely ride" and cannot seem to break free from the feelings of love that still linger. The repetition of "feels like starry eyed" conveys a sense of longing and nostalgia for what was lost.
Overall, "I Wish" is a poignant, emotional piece that many listeners can relate to. It speaks to the powerful emotions of love and regret and encourages us to reflect on our own choices in relationships.

I was one with you, breathing
I was so close to you, we shared the same air and were connected
And was close to you, in your sleep

And I don't deny, waiting
I admit that I was waiting for something from you
For the little light from you
I was hoping for a small sign of love or affection from you

I saw you leaving, and it hurt me deeply

I had no idea that I would end up crying so much for you
And I wish that I had tried

Oh baby, This could be the last of my control
I do not have control over my feelings anymore, they are overwhelming
Feels like starry eyed
I feel very hopeful and optimistic
I'm alone, alone on a slowly, lonely ride
I feel alone and on a journey that is both slow and lonely
Each time I decide to get off, I drop in rolling, holding tight
Whenever I try to move on, I end up falling back and holding on tightly to my feelings

@danfromspain
10 years? It's already 14 years old.
@kieran6735
This song should have been massive. It's a perfect pop song.

JESUS CHRIST - The Son of God - God Himself came into this world, He died for our sins, He was buried, and God the Father raised Him from the dead, and through His Sacrifice we live in victory - JESUS CHRIST IS LORD !

Its a shame that their label gave up on them so quickly. They were like xenomania's experimental girl group. Their sound and even their colourful futuristic style was different back then. I think if their label didn't give up so fast they could have been very successful.
@syniekos
I cannot understand why this track failed to make it big in the charts, it is a perfect example of what a pop song should be, catchy & inoffensive.
@DavidandClara
Was never released in the US or other territories outside of the UK. A couple were in Germany but they weren't promoted at all. This was during the recession and they focused all promo on existing artists with larger fan bases. I can't tell you how many times I've played their songs to people who never heard of them. Screw David Geffen, old queen.
