In 2004, she auditioned for the second season of Australian Idol. She was known for her powerful voice, provocative dancing and vibrant personality. Receiving seventh place in the Idol competition, her elimination from the show was viewed by commentators and viewers as a βshock.β She subsequently signed with Australian independent label Shock Records, and released her self-titled debut album Ricki-Lee in 2005, which yielded the top-ten singles "Hell No!" and "Sunshine". Both songs were certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The following year, Coulter became a member of Australian all-girl pop group Young Divas, before leaving in early 2007 to resume her solo music career.
Coulter's second album Brand New Day was released in August 2007, which was certified gold. The album included the top-ten singles "Love Is All Around", "Can't Sing a Different Song" and "Can't Touch It", the latter became a platinum seller. Coulter's first compilation album titled The Singles was released in 2008, with the top-twenty lead single "Wiggle It". In May 2011, she ended her contract with Shock Records and signed with major label EMI. Her third album Fear & Freedom was released in August 2012, and includes the top-twenty singles "Raining Diamonds" and "Do It Like That", which were both certified platinum.
Coulter branched out from recording music, pursuing careers in television and radio, and receiving several endorsement deals. She returned to Australian Idol for seasons six and seven, as a presenter and reporter alongside James Mathison and Andrew GΓΌnsberg. It earned her a nomination at the 2009 Logie Awards for 'Most Popular New Female Talent'. Coulter became a full-time radio presenter for Sydney's Nova 96.9 breakfast show in 2010, alongside Merrick Watts and Scott Dooley. In 2008, she became the ambassador for Australian shapewear clothing line Hold Me Tight, and in 2012, she became the Australian face of international cosmetics brand CoverGirl.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna rock the spot
Girls out, 'bout to bubble it up
Boys take a look, see what you can't touch
Seven jeans and a Prada bag
Six inch heels, how ya liking that?
Working it out, he's checking it out
I can feel the base line jumping
Watch out there's my song
Ladies, let me see your hands up in the air
Ladies, show 'em what you got
Shake it all around, yeah, yeah
E yo, you wanna little of this?
You want a little, wanna little of this?
E yo, you wanna little of this?
You want a little, wanna little of this?
Once you think you think you got it
You can't touch it
I'm not what you think I am
You ain't gon' get what you think you can
Oh no, you ain't the man
You might be fine but I don't give a damn
'Cause I'm here with my girls tonight
No strings attached, no guys required
Wanna let my hair down, get out on the town
DJ turn it up nice an' loud
I can feel the base line jumping
Watch out there's my song
Ladies let me see your hands up in the air
Ladies show 'em what you got
Shake it all around, yeah, yeah
E yo, you wanna little of this?
You want a little, wanna little of this?
E yo, you wanna little of this?
You want a little, wanna little of this?
Once you think you think you got it
You can't touch it
The lyrics to Ricki-Lee's song "Can't Touch It" exude confidence and independence as she describes her night out at the club. She's dressed to impress, with designer clothes and high heels, and she's there to have a good time with her girlfriends, not to impress any guys. She encourages other women to do the same, to let their hair down, and dance to the beat of the music. She's in control, and she's not interested in any man who thinks he can get with her. The chorus of the song repeats the message: "Once you think you think you got it, you can't touch it".
The song has a strong beat and catchy lyrics that are easy to dance to, making it a popular club hit. Beyond its catchy tune, however, the song carries an empowering message for women who often feel pressure to impress men or conform to societal expectations.

Love her voice great dancer
@jaceaguar
For all of those calling Ricki-lee a fake do a search for her singing this live at the ARIA awards 2007... she made top 10 on Aus Idol.. she's the real deal and I've seen her live. This girl can sing.. it's a shame the official video for this song (which this is not it) is no-where on youtube anymore =(
@serenawilson3333
This was her best song
@chloehughes292
Rickiβs most successful song ever as it featured on the Sex & The City 2 soundtrack.
@ragamuffin2829
Oh Ricki-Lee, you had such an upbeat song and you totally dropped the chance to smash out some really neat choreography at the chorus. It was so deflating for a song that is so kick-ass.
