In March 1994, advertisements were placed in The Stage newspaper asking: "R U 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance? R U streetwise, ambitious, outgoing and determined?" Hundreds of girls responded to the ads. The applicants were whittled down to a final five which consisted of Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Melanie Brown, Victoria Adams and Michelle Stephenson, who combined to form an all female group called "Touch." In June, during the group's earliest recording session, Michelle Stephenson was forced to leave due to commitment issues. She was replaced by Abigail Kis and then by Emma Bunton after Bunton's singing tutor had recommended her to the other girls. From this point up to March 1995 the girls lived together in a small house in Maidenhead where they worked on demos and practiced dance routines. After a successful showcase performance for music critics and producers in October, the group decided to fire their original management, who they cited as controlling and too domineering.

You just walk in, I make you smile,
Its cool but you dont even know me,
You take an inch, I run a mile,
Cant win youre always right behind me.
And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it or just dont even bother.
Caught in a craze, its just a phase,
Or will this be around forever.
Dont you know its going to fast,
Racing so hard you know it wont last.
Dont you know, what cant you see,
Slow it sown, read the sign so you know just where youre going.
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow if down baby, gotta have some fun,
Do do ... always be together,
Ba da ... stay that way forever.
And we know that you could go and find some other,
Take or leave it cause weve always got each other.
You know who you are and yes, youre gonna breakdown,
Youre crossed the line so youre gonna have to turn around.
Dont you know its going to fast,
Racing so hard you know it wont last,
Dont you know, what cant you see,
Slow it sown, read the sign so you know just where youre going.
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun.
Gotta keep it down honey, lay your back on the line
cause I dont care about the money,
Dont be wasting my time,
You need less speed, get off my case,
You gotta slow it down baby, just get out of my face.
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun.
Stop right now, thank you very much,
I need somebody with the human touch,
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta slow it down baby, gotta have some fun.
Stop right now, (stop right now) thank you very much,(we wanna thank you)
I need somebody with (wanna thank you) the human touch, (stop right now)
Hey you always on the run,
Gotta (thank you very much) slow it down baby, gotta have some fun (thank you very much).
