The group's members, Jay Asforis, Stacey McClean, Aaron Renfree, Frankie Sandford (now Bridge), Rochelle Wiseman (now Humes), Hannah Richings, Daisy Evans (now Shelvey) and Calvin Goldspink, were all in their early teens or younger when they were chosen from thousands of hopefuls on the S Club Search (2001) television series. The group were originally intended only as a support act on S Club (7)'s S Club Carnival Tour. However, they soon released a single of their own, 2002's "One Step Closer".

After three albums, eight singles (including 5 top 10 singles), a children's television programme (I Dream), and two name changes, the group disbanded in 2004. Since then, some members have been trying to do their own solo efforts. Most notably Aaron as a dancer, Rochelle as a presenter on CBBC Saturday morning shows, and now Frankie and Rochelle in the girl band named The Saturdays who supported Girls Aloud.

Pretty Boy
S Club 8 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I lie awake at night
See things in black and white
I've only got you inside my mind
You know you have made me blind

I lie awake and pray
That you will look my way
I have all this longing in my heart

I knew it right from the start

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
And make me stay right beside you

I used to write your name
And put it in a frame
And sometimes I think I hear you call
Right through my bedroom wall
You stay a little while
And touch me with your smile
And what can I say to make you mine
To reach out for you in time

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do
Let me inside
And make me stay right beside you

Oh pretty boy
Say you love me too

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
Like I never ever loved no one before you
Pretty pretty boy of mine
Just tell me you love me too
Oh my pretty pretty boy I need you
Oh my pretty pretty boy I do

Let me inside
And make me stay right beside you

I lie awake at night
I can't sleep because all I can think about is you

See things in black and white
Without you, everything seems dull and lifeless

I've only got you inside my mind
You're the only thing I can think about

You know you have made me blind
You've got me so infatuated that I can't see straight

I lie awake and pray
I hope and wish that you will notice me

That you will look my way
I just want your attention

I have all this longing in my heart
I feel a deep desire for you

I knew it right from the start
I've had feelings for you since the beginning

Oh my pretty pretty boy I love you
You're so beautiful to me and I'm in love with you

Like I never ever loved no one before you
I've never felt this strongly about anyone else

Pretty pretty boy of mine
You're my handsome guy
