The group was formed in 1998 with original members Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan & Siobhán Donaghy, who were introduced to each other by manager Ron Tom. After some initial success, Donaghy departed and the introduction of Heidi Range (formerly of Atomic Kitten) in 2001 was met with the commercial breakthrough of the group's first number-one single "Freak Like Me" and parent album Angels with Dirty Faces in 2002. The group survived a second line-up change in 2005, when Mutya Buena left and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah. In September 2009, it was announced that after eleven years in the Sugababes, Keisha Buchanan was no longer a part of the group and had been replaced by Jade Ewen.
Sugababes have released twenty five singles, six of which have reached number-one in the UK and twenty have reached the top 20 in the UK, seven studio albums that have reached top 40 charts worldwide with success around Europe and Asia having number-one singles in fifteen countries. With seventeen of their twenty five single releases achieving top ten chart success in the UK, Brit Award winners, the trio have been named the UK's most successful female act of the 21st century. Upon the release of "About You Now" (2007), the Sugababes became the only female act to have topped the single, album, and download charts simultaneously twice, having previously achieved the same feat in 2005 with "Push the Button". They have attained at least platinum certification for five of their albums in the UK.
Their most recent release 'Sweet 7' saw them scoring yet another 3 Top 10 hits in the UK charts, with also being Sugababes' first studio album to be recorded with new member Jade Ewen. In September 2013, Ewen stated that the Sugababes officially split in 2011. Ewen claimed that the band "fizzled out" two years ago and are "pretty much done", saying: "I don't feel comfortable lying", but Berrabah claimed afterwards that they will all be "getting back together at the end of next year". Meanwhile, the three original band members got back together and went on to form Mutya Keisha Siobhan, releasing one single, 'Flatline', in 2013. A full album was recorded but never released, with the majority of tracks recorded leaking from Christmas 2016.
In July 2019, the original line-up of the band confirmed they were back in the studio making music - with a cover of Sweet Female Attitude's 'Flowers' set to appear on the compilation album 'DJ Spoony Presents Garage Classical'. In September 2019, the pre-order for the compilation album confirmed the original trio had regained the name Sugababes.

Sugababes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spinning out on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
And we'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round, baby round round
Spend the night on me
Got my kicks for free
(Free free free free)
When you stare at my face
You're messing with my brain
If you're try to convince me
Then you better think again
If you move to my music
The music's got to give
If it's too complicated
That's the way I want to live
If you hate me
I will show you
How to break me
Into something new
If you want me
Run away now
If you stop me
Then I'll hit the ground
(And we go, and we go)
Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
And we'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go
Explanations, no you don't need one
Having a good time
Getting down to the fun
And it's your time
Just tonight he'll be mine
And he's gone
Yeah
People moving, bodies grooving
Never ending
Players are changing
(Don't you worry 'bout a thing all you need is one fierce string)
All my girls are here with me
Worry now they've got their need
(Do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me)
Woo
Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
We'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
And we'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody but my honeys
When I go
Ooh
Does it hurt, when you see
How I've done
Without you
Thought that I couldn't belong
Never thought that you could be so cruel
All you need is some friends
Won't be by yourself
Let's go round and round and round and round and are-o-you-nd
Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
We'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don't need no man
Got my kicks for free
We'll ride still fired on the beat down low
I don't need nobody but my honeys
When I go
Round, baby when I go
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
When I go round baby
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
When I go
The lyrics to Sugababes' song "Round Round" can be interpreted as a celebration of self-sufficiency and independence. The catchy chorus insists that the singer doesn't need a man in their life to enjoy themselves or feel fulfilled, as they have all the "kicks" they need for free. The second verse suggests that people trying to change or persuade the singer should think again, as they are happy living life on their own terms, complicating things only on their own terms. The bridge, which uses an oft-repeated call of "Woo!" to punctuate the lines, continues this theme of individuality and self-actualization, urging listeners to surround themselves with supportive friends as they go "round and round and round."
Overall, "Round Round" is a song that champions individuality and self-reliance, taking aim at societal pressure to center one's life around a romantic partner. The lyrics argue that people can gain fulfillment and happiness from within themselves, and they should celebrate their independence rather than feeling like they are incomplete or missing something without a partner.
