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.

Tell Me Why Lyrics
Spice Girls
Spice girls dark child lets dance
Oh
We could have had it all
But you turned your back
It started with dreams
It started a team
But you werent as true as you always seemed
You promised to love
No matter what
Yet you turned your back and walked out on me
What made you think
That without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see
That without me
Your hopes and dreams
Will never be as good as what you had with me
So tell me why oh why
Did we end up this way
And we tried we try
To make everything okay oh
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
You never thought
That I would find out
All of the things you said about us
Where youre the one who
Decided to
Erase all our plans and say you are through
What made you think
That without me that without me
Your life would be so much better but now you see so much better but now you see
That without me
Your hopes and dreams without me
Will never be as good as what you had with me that will never had with me
So tell me why oh why tell me why
Did we end up this way did we end up this way
And we tried we try we try yes we did
To make everything okay
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way we could have stayed
So tell me why oh why
Did we end up this way did we end up this way
And we tried we try
To make everything okay oh
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
Now tell me was it
Your plan all along
To try and use me
And then let go
Now where is the trust
We had between us
I guess that you never played by the rules
Can you tell me
So tell me why oh why
Did we end up this way
And we tried we try
To make everything okay
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
So tell me why oh why
Did we end up this way
And we tried we try
To make everything okay
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
So tell me why oh why
Did we end up this way
And we tried we try
To make everything okay
Tell me why oh why
Did you feel you couldnt stay
When we could have stayed together
But you wanted it this way
