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.
Left My Heart In Tokyo
Mini Viva Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I dumb enough to believe?
When somebody says jump on this
Would you follow them on your knees?
Am I wrong or right
To be dancing with you tonight?
Said I'm done with his fantasies
What I got is my sanity
My baby knows what I want
He's getting me and my thing
He better take what I got
Or he won't see me again
'Cause there's been too many guys
Just making moves on the floor
My baby's reading my mind
He knows that I'm needing more
And I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody know know knows that
I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody no can bring it home
(Nobody no can bring it home)
(Nobody no can bring it home)
Seventeen and dumb
Look at me I know right from wrong
You and me we got something on
And I don't need to hear that come come
And I don't need to hear that come come
Make you mine with the diamonds in the right sack
Give it time and I'm gonna get you right back
Saw the signs and I never ever fight back
I keep it tight 'cause I know you really like that
Do it right and you know I'm gonna hype that
Write the rhymes and I'll sing it to you right back
And I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody know know knows that
I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody no can bring it home
Nobody no can bring it home
(Nobody no can bring it home)
(Nobody no can bring it home)
Sick sick sick sick sick
So tired of the best dress
Didn't really want to keep it for the rest
Oh oh oh
So I skipped to the next best
Didn't really know that
I was gonna end up here
And I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody know know knows that
I left my heart in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
I had to let it go
Nobody no can bring it home
Nobody no can bring it home
(Nobody no can bring it home)
(Nobody no can bring it home)
In "I Left My Heart In Tokyo," Mini Viva sings about the experience of falling in love and losing oneself in the moment on the dance floor. The lyrics open up with a questioning line, asking if the singer is "dumb enough to believe" when somebody tells her to jump on something, indicating that the singer is skeptical about the intentions of those around her. However, once she finds a partner who is able to read her mind and give her what she wants, she is able to let go of her concerns and enjoy the moment. The chorus speaks to the titular idea of leaving one's heart in Tokyo, indicating that the experience was so profound that it has left a lasting impact on the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
Step up here, tell me
Come closer and speak to me
Am I dumb enough to believe?
Do you think I am easily fooled?
When somebody says jump on this
If someone tells me to try something new
Would you follow them on your knees?
Would you do it without any hesitation?
Am I wrong or right
I am wondering if I made a mistake or not
To be dancing with you tonight?
Is it acceptable for me to dance with you tonight?
Said I'm done with his fantasies
I have had enough of his unrealistic dreams
What I got is my sanity
I am trying to maintain my mental stability
My baby knows what I want
My partner understands my desires
He's getting me and my thing
He is satisfying my needs
He better take what I got
He has to accept the love I have to offer
Or he won't see me again
Otherwise, our relationship will come to an end
'Cause there's been too many guys
Other men have approached me too many times
Just making moves on the floor
Trying to impress me with their dancing skills
My baby's reading my mind
My partner can perceive my innermost thoughts
He knows that I'm needing more
He understands my desire for something deeper and meaningful
And I left my heart in Tokyo
I fell in love with someone in Tokyo
Down by the river don't you know
Near the river, where we spent time together
I had to let it go
I had to move on and come back home
Nobody know know knows that
No one knows the depth of my feelings
Seventeen and dumb
I was naive and inexperienced
Look at me I know right from wrong
Although I was young, I still had a sense of morality
You and me we got something on
Our relationship is special
And I don't need to hear that come come
I do not want to hear any false promises
Make you mine with the diamonds in the right sack
I will win you over with my charm and sincerity
Give it time and I'm gonna get you right back
If you give our relationship time, I will win you over again
Saw the signs and I never ever fight back
I can tell when a relationship is not worth fighting for
I keep it tight 'cause I know you really like that
I try to maintain my composure because that's what attracts you to me
Do it right and you know I'm gonna hype that
If I do things the way you like them, you will appreciate and embrace it
Write the rhymes and I'll sing it to you right back
I'll express my love for you through my art and music
Sick sick sick sick sick
I'm tired and fed up
So tired of the best dress
I'm tired of trying to impress everyone
Didn't really want to keep it for the rest
I did not want to continue living a superficial life
Oh oh oh
I realized I wanted something deeper and more meaningful
So I skipped to the next best
I moved on to something better
Didn't really know that
I was not aware
I was gonna end up here
I did not predict that I would be here, but I am happy with where I am now.
Nobody no can bring it home
No one can make me go back to where I left my heart

Good bit of nostalgia.
@caseyjennings7420
I thought I was the only person that remembered this song š
@firstnamelastnamethirdname
Very true. Wish they made more but rather this then devolving to modern trash imo. Pop back then was more vivid than today's.
@IlikepurpleXP
Why did I wake up with this song randomly playing in my head?? I havenāt heard it in at least 10 years š
