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it was announced that after eleven years in the Sugababes, Keisha Buchanan was no longer a part of the group and had been replaced by Jade Ewen.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.
Same Old Story
Sugababes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said that you'd give me everything
What's happening?
How could you lie how could you be so trifflin'
What's going on?
'Coz I thought that you where the only one
Don't even waste my time, oh ho
Telling me lies disgusted me
You wasn't right for me
I've had enough of your lies trying to talk to me
Are you outta mind
Do you think I'll mind
Don't even waste my time
[Chorus:]
I don't want to hear "I'm sorry"
Don't want to hear the same old story
Whatever it ain't my problem
You ain't gonna waste my time
Baby can't you see that I
Don't need you in my life
Please can you see the sign
You ain't gonna waste my time
You've been running games behind my back
Don't you realize I won't take that
Baby this is where you get of
I'm moving in onnnn
Telling me the same old story
Everyday the same old story
Why you talking big for me
You ain't gonna waste my time
(Can you see the signs)
Baby can you see that I
Don't need you in my life
Can you see the signs
You ain't gonna waste my time
[Chorus:]
Same old story
Same old story
Ain't my problem
Yeah, yeah
In the lyrics of Sugababes' song Same Old Story, the singer addresses a former lover who had promised to give them everything and love them. The singer is now disappointed in the lover and disgusted with the lies they have been told. The singer is adamant that they do not want to hear sorry or any similar old story because they have had enough dealing with the deceitful behavior of their former flame. It is clear that the singer has had enough of the games and is moving on from the relationship.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship with someone who lied and made promises that they never intended to keep. The singer is taking control of the situation, cutting off communication with the liar, and taking a stand for their own well-being. In the end, the singer comes across as strong, confident, and independent, ready to move on from the heartache they have experienced.

I like this song,
just how i feel
I have some people saying
sorry around me,
most people
do not mean that,
I am still homeless,
not all my doing,
in the words
of the council intentionally,
not unintentionally,
just do not want to be in a flat on my own,
not a ymca, or hostel,
definitely
not a mental health hospital
