The group's formation was sparked from the efforts of Crown Heights Affair's William Anderson and Raymond Reid. The sextet β bassist Sandy Anderson, drummer Tony Cintron, guitarist Phil Hamilton, vocalist Stephanie James, keyboardist Lenny Underwood, and vocalist Audrey Wheeler β broke out on Prelude in 1980 with "I Hear Music in the Streets," a single that didn't do much commercially but fared much better in U.K. and U.S. clubs. A handful of other singles were issued, including the number 29 U.K. chart hit "Searching to Find the One," prior to the release of a self-titled LP that packaged the singles together. The less successful Yes I'm Ready followed in 1983, and the group dissolved shortly thereafter. Unidisc would later issue the Searching to Find the One compilation in the early '90s.

Alah bak nangko nasibnyo kito bacinto
Manga daulu adiak basimpang, basimpang jalan
Sadangnyo kasiah babungo sayang, babungo sayang
Manga dahulu adiak bapaliang, bapaliang sayang
Harok dek balam pipik di tangan adiak lapehkan
Kini baru adiak tau paiknyo ampadu
Indak mungkin kasiah di ulang, di ulang jalin
Maafkan sayang kasiah lah tadorong ka nan lain
Indak lah guno ka diratoi diak kanduang
Alah bak nangko nasibnyo kito bacinto
Manga daulu adiak basimpang, basimpang jalan
Sadangnyo kasiah babungo sayang, babungo sayang
Manga dahulu adiak bapaliang, bapaliang sayang
Harok dek balam pipik di tangan adiak lapehkan
Kini baru adiak tau paiknyo ampadu
Saikua tabang saikua lapeh ka tangan urang
Indak mungkin kasiah di ulang, di ulang jalin
Maafkan sayang kasiah lah tadorong ka nan lain
The lyrics to Unlimited Touch's song Private Party are in an Indonesian dialect, making it difficult to interpret their exact meaning. However, the emotions of love and regret are conveyed clearly throughout the song. The first verse speaks of missed opportunities and a love that was not properly expressed in the past. The lines "Manga dahulu adiak bapaliang, bapaliang sayang/ Harok dek balam pipik di tangan adiak lapehkan" suggest that the singer had many chances to express their love but failed to do so, leaving them with a sense of regret.
The second verse continues with a similar tone of regret and longing. The singer speaks of their desire to be with their loved one but understands that they may have lost their chance. The lines "Indak mungkin kasiah di ulang, di ulang jalin/ Maafkan sayang kasiah lah tadorong ka nan lain" show that the singer knows it may be too late to make things right, and they ask for forgiveness for their mistakes.
Overall, the song seems to be about the pain of lost opportunities in a romantic relationship and the regret that comes with not expressing our feelings when we have the chance. The lyrics, though in a different language, convey a universal sentiment that many listeners can relate to.
