Songwriter Bobby Sandstrom helped them write and record demos. The group eventually signed a music publishing deal with Sony's RCA Record. After several years of work, they finally could make a major release.
In the fall of 1996, Wild Orchid released their self-titled debut album Wild Orchid. The largely self-written album sold nearly a million units worldwide and included the singles "Talk To Me" (which was included in the hit movie Fools Rush In), "At Night I Pray," and "Supernatural." The album received two Billboard Award nominations for "Talk To Me," two Lady Of Soul/Soul Train Award nominations - one for Album of The Year by A Group, Band or Duo and one for Best Music Video for "Talk To Me," and an American Music Award nomination for Favorite R&B/Soul New Artist.
In late 1997, the group toured with 98 Degrees and *NSync, and in the summer of 1998 the trio released their second album, Oxygen which included the single "Be Mine."
Wild Orchid also hosted the ABC Family Channel's Saturday morning show "Great Pretenders," which featured chart hits lip-synched by everyday kids, while competing for prizes. They also went on a 52-city tour with Cher and Cyndi Lauper.
In 2001, the group released "Stuttering (Don't Say)," which reached the Top 40 chart, and had a concert special on Much Music, on July 29, 2001. Stacy parted ways with Renee and Stefanie shortly after in September 2001, leaving Wild Orchid to continue on as a duo. Stacy joined the Hip-Hop group Black Eyed Peas in 2003 under the stage name Fergie. Wild Orchid's third studio album as a trio, Fire, was never released, although a song off the album called "It's All Your Fault" was featured in the 2001 film What Women Want.
In 2004, Wild Orchid, consisting of Renee and Stefanie, released their fourth studio album "Hypnotic". Unfortunately, it failed to make the Billboard charts. Since then, Renee has been doing work as a session singer and Stefanie is now a member of the House/Techno duo, 5th Element.

Wild Orchid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know one time is not enough with me baby ooh wee...
slowly take your time, moaning now you're mine,
relax I'm in control speechless ooh uh oh...
on the floor give me more listen to the sound,
cause I'm really going down,
on the floor on all four give it to me now, and it's really going down...
rewind let's do it one more time,
I know I've said no before but now I've changed my mind...
[repeat b-section and chorus]
close your eyes and hear my engine roar,
ooh baby I have got more in store,
I'll lay back so you can be my whore,
now is the time for you to go on the floor...
[repeat chorus out]
The lyrics of Wild Orchid's song "On The Floor" depict a secret and sneaky liaison between two people that has become addictive. The first line is about their "freaky little secret thing" and how the other person keeps coming back for more. The singer acknowledges that one time wasn't enough for the other person and they want more. The reference to taking things slowly and moaning signifies an intimate moment. The singer then proclaims control and leaves the other person speechless, indicating the level of attraction between the two.
The chorus is sensual, with the singer wanting to go down on the floor and asking for more. It's clear that things are getting hot and heavy, and they're both enjoying the experience. The verse talks about doing it again and discovering new things, which suggests a level of experimentation between the couple. The bridge of the song is more explicit, with the singer referencing a possible position change and asking the other to be their "whore." The repetition of the chorus signifies the addictive nature of their relationship that has led them to this moment.
