Song: 2 Become 1
Group: Spice Girls
Album: Spice (1996), Track 3
"2 Become 1" is a song by the English girl group the Spice Girls. Written by the group members, Matt Rowe and Richard Stannard during the group's first professional songwriting session, it was produced by Rowe and Stannard for the group's debut album Spice (1996). It was inspired by the special relationship that was developing between Geri Halliwell and Rowe during the writing session. Released as the group's third single on 16 December 1996, it was generally well received by music critics and was a commercial success. It topped the UK Singles Chart for three weeks, becoming the group's third consecutive chart-topper, their second million-selling single, and their first Christmas number-one single in the United Kingdom. In July 1997, the song was released in the United States, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100, and receiving a gold certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It performed similarly internationally, peaking inside the top ten on the majority of the charts that it entered.
~ Lyrics ~
Candle light and soul forever
A dream of you and me together
Say you believe it, say you believe it
Free your mind of doubt and danger
Be for real, don't be a stranger
We can achieve it, we can achieve it
Come a little bit closer
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be
Silly games that you were playing
Empty words we both were saying
Let's work it out, boy, let's work it out, boy
Any deal that we endeavor
Love will bring us back together
Take it or leave it, take it or leave it
Are you as good as I remember
Baby, get it on, get it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be
Oh whoa, oh whoa
Be a little bit wiser
Baby, put it on, put it on
'Cause tonight is the night when 2 become 1
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
I need some love like I never needed love before
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
I had a little love, now I'm back for more
(Wanna make love to ya, baby)
Set your spirit free, it's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
It's the only way to be
