Although the project released four singles in the mid '90s, with initial singers Kimberley Kearney and Dacia Bridges, worldwide success came with third vocalist, Tina Harris. Everything's Gonna Be Alright was released in 1997, which topped charts around the world and started a musical theme, sampling classical music, which the project would later become known for.
Tina Harris left after two years, with Jade Villalon replacing her as the fourth vocalist with five original albums, all reaching Gold or Platinum in Korea. Villalon, along with "Geo" left the project after seven years to go on and do other projects.
Vocalist Jamie Pineda took the role as new vocalist shortly after in late 2007 and then releasing her first studio album The Next Generation in 2009, which was produced by Derek Bramble. Pineda released one more album, Diamond Veil in 2011 and it was released in Japan and Korea, as the 8th studio album from Sweetbox.
In 2013, famed Japanese singer Miho Fukuhara became the new frontwoman and for the first time in the projects history, male vocalist/rapper LogiQ Pryce would co-front the project with her. The studio album, titled #Zeitgeist21 is due for release in July 2013.

Sweetbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Did you hear me? 525,600 minutes are gone
Oh it's just goodbye
Oh it's just goodbye
[V.1]
Now I know that you're paper not silk
(I Try)
I know that the sun will still rise
'Cause after all we just said goodbye and I'll survive
[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye
[V.2]
I need to get back on my feet
'Cause I took a real long hard fall
But I won't cry for defeat
Yeah I'll just smile because I loved at all
And I'll stand tall
[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye
[V.3]
Oh wasted 365 days on you
Oh wasted 365 days on you
Oh but I won't regret a minute
Oh I won't cry for lost time
Oh it's just goodbye
I know that the sun will still rise
'Cause after all we just said goodbye and I'll survive
[Chorus]
Is there anyone on the radio?
Listen to my song and let it go
Mmmmm , radio , Mmmmm , radio
Is there anyone on the radio?
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Mmmmm ,radio, Mmmmm ,radio
Oh is there anyone on the radio (So do you hear me?)
Come along with me 'cause I'm feeling low
Ooh oh it's just goodbye
Every year 525,600 minutes are gone
Did you hear me? 525,600 minutes are gone
