if i remember correctly i heard this one first in the autumn of '00 when it was pummeled on radio and was announced as the first single of a new british girlgroup. i think i liked it from the first listen since it had a decent groove and was good song. the other thing was that breakdown near the end of the song where the drums are stretched out and i really liked that.
it has also has a bassline that borrows from jefferson airplane's classic "white rabbit" and that was a thing that someone pointed out to me. however i couldn't seem to understand what those first lines of the hook said and even though i've looked those up on the intarwebs plenty of times, i always catch myself thinking: "what is she saying?".
this song ranks on top the best ones from the sugababes and i quite liked this group or at least their singles. never listened to an album of their but i love "overload", "round round", "in the middle" (because it's wholesale sample of moguai's "u know y") and a few others.
however i've not kept any eye on them ever since keisha buchanan left and i think the last thing that i actually liked was "about you now" and their cover of arctic monkey's "i bet that you look good". i don't really bothered by their recent work and with all of the change in members. it's just not the same, which is funny considering they are an assembled group.
buy here (7digital)
also look for the nick faber remix which is a nice slick house version that works the guitars very well. the capoeira twins version is a breaks thing leaning on uk garage but with a melodic slant. ignore the city slickers remix which can be heard youtube, it tries to be 4x4 garage but it's just annoying.
