The group's members, Jay Asforis, Stacey McClean, Aaron Renfree, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Hannah Richings, Daisy Evans 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, a children's television programme, and two name changes, the group disbanded in 2004

New Direction:
A-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)

It seems to me
I cannot breath

When you're around
You leave me there
In the cold
I'm lost and found

I've been lookin' for a new direction
So baby know I've gotta say
I've been lookin' for a new connection
With someone who's gonna make me stay

You shouldn't lie
You shouldn't play
Gotta kill to look the other way
You shouldn't cry
You shouldn't faint
Just got to tell you straight before I walk away
It's too late

A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)

Needing to
Rediscover my identity
I'm doing fine
Baby don't feel sad for me

I've been looking for a new fixation
Someone who can stimulate my mind
I've been looking for a new sensation
Never let you know I'm gonna find

You shouldn't lie
You shouldn't play
Gotta kill to look the other way
You shouldn't cry
You shouldn't faint
Just gotta tell you straight before I walk away
It's too late

A-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah
A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)

I've been looking for a new direction
Gotta kill to look the other way

It's too late
It's too late

A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)
A-a-a-a-ah a-ah (I've been looking for a new direction)

You shouldn't lie
You shouldn't play
Gotta kill to look the other way
You shouldn't cry
You shouldn't let
Trying to tell you straight before I walk away
It's too late

A-a-a-a-ah
