The Sugababes are an English pop girl-group formed in 1998 with its founding and current Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy. Their debut single “Overload” released in September 2000 to critical acclaim, followed by their debut album One Touch that November. In June 2001, Donaghy left the group as rumours arose of a rift between her and Buchanan.

Heidi Range was announced as the newest member of the group and with this, they experienced a boom in commercial success. The first single of the new line-up, “Freak Like Me” was released in April 2002 to more acclaim, followed by the group’s second album Angels with Dirty Faces that August. They released a further two studio albums, Three and Taller In More Ways, the latter led by the single “Push The Button” which became the group’s biggest hit to date. Just two months after the release of the album, it was revealed that Buena was leaving the group to pursue a solo career.

Amelle Berrabah was announced as Buena’s replacement, joining the group for a re-release of Taller In More Ways. A greatest hits collection, The Singles Collection, followed in November 2006. The group then returned with their fifth studio album Change in October 2007, led by lead single “About You Now” which became the group’s best-selling hit in the UK. Critics noted that the album was decidedly more mainstream pop than previous releases.
