Spice - Spice Girls
With the help of Matt Rowe and Richard “Biffco” Stannard, Spice girls wrote and composed "Wannabe" which released on July 8, 1996, in the UK and January 7, 1997, in the US from their album Spice.
Despite a series of remakes before hitting the media, "Wannabe" won the Best British Single at the 1997 Ivor Novello Awards and at the 1997 BIT Awards for the Best Single.
The track is an inspiration for women empowerment, girl power and the value of female friendship.
It was met by mixed reviews which heightened the group’s popularity level that attracted the press and had them performing on TV shows, doing interviews and undertaking numerous photo shoots for the teen magazines.
After topping in the UK, "Wannabe" gained a spotlight in the US and the world. By 2014, the track had sold over 2.9 million copies in the US only but that doesn’t compare to the 7 million copies sold by 1997 worldwide.
As one of the most popular track in the last 60 years, its music video hit the cable networks and the public with a bang.
They have performed the track on countless award shows, Television shows, tours and concerts globally.
On top of that, the track has been featured in various films like Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, The Simpsons and Glee among others, plus the 293 million YouTube views on the record.
After years of journeying together, spice girls officially broke up in 2002. Individually, the media has recorded the girls in a series of gossip that includes domestic violence, failed marriages, different careers and Victoria’s marriage to the all-time great English football star David Beckham.
They have hooked up with fellow pop stars and Mel B is proud to be open-minded despite the titles flown her way.

Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you want my future, forget my past
If you wanna get with me, better make it fast
Now don't go wasting my precious time
Get your act together we could be just fine
I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
Oh, what do you think about that
Now you know how I feel
Say, you can handle my love, are you for real
(Are you for real)
I won't be hasty, I'll give you a try
If you really bug me then I'll say goodbye
Yo I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want
So tell me what you want, what you really, really want
I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha) I wanna, (ha)
I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give
(You've got to give)
Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
So, here's a story from A to Z
You wanna get with me, you gotta listen carefully
We got Em in the place who likes it in your face
You got G like MC who likes it on a
Easy V doesn't come for free, she's a real lady
And as for me, ha you'll see
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends
(Gotta get with my friends)
Make it last forever, friendship never ends
If you wanna be my lover, you have got to give

Taking is too easy, but that's the way it is
If you wanna be my lover
You gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta, you gotta
Slam, slam, slam, slam (make it last forever)
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Slam your body down and wind it all around
Slam your body down and zigazig ah
If you wanna be my lover
