Orlando conceived the idea for The Flirts, wrote the songs, played the instruments, and produced the tracks. He then auditioned girls to be the face of the group. Orlando often called in the services of professional session singers to sing the vocals for the tracks because most of the performers were trained as dancers, models, or actresses. The Flirts went through numerous lineup changes and with every album release and tour, some girls left the group while others stayed. The Flirts released six studio albums from 1982–1992 and assorted singles. They made several international tours in the 1980s, often in the club circuit, and would usually lip-synch or sing alongside the recordings.
Bobby discovered and produced the Pet Shop Boys. The Flirts' 1982 song Passion was cited by Pet Shop Boys' Chris Lowe as a primary reason for the band's formation.

I want your loving in every single way
I'm here to show you happiness tonight, won't you stay?

The Flirts' hit "Love Reaction" expresses desire and the fear of not receiving the adequate attention and satisfaction from a partner. The singer wants the love of her partner in "every single way" and aims to give him "happiness tonight." She hopes that by loving him, he will feel more like a man. The woman who sings this song wants to be seen as more than just a girl; she wants to be fully appreciated as a woman who deserves to feel free and given the love and satisfaction she desires. The chorus, which repeatedly says "Gimme some satisfaction," represents the need for the affirmation and passion that she requires from her partner. The bridge saying "Come on and give me your love" and "I want some love reaction" reinforces that need.
