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.

Walk Of Life Lyrics
Spice Girls
Im steppin out into the walk of life
Hold tight the vibe is right
Feel the heat thats in the air
People watchin everywhere
Rush hour slow it down
Stop and listen to the summer sound
Playing in the park and street talkin
London town is walkin, walkin
London town is walkin I said its really talkin, yeah
Steppin in the walk of life
I said, makin out the walk of life
London town Im stalkin
I said Im really walkin, yeah
The sun goes down and the lights come up
So we move on to a club
Surround yourself with the feel-good groove
People dancin everywhere
Make your move go, turn it up
Rockin rhythm at the rasta club
Singin in the dark and heart thumpin
London town is thumpin
I said it was jumpin
London town is walkin
I said its really talkin, yeah
Steppin in the walk of life
I said, makin out the walk of life
London town Im stalkin
I said Im really walkin, yeah
Zing zinga zinga zing zinga zinga
Zing zing zinga zinga zinga zinga
Zinga zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zinga zinga zing zaaaaahhhhh
Zing zaaahhhh ha ahhh
The sun is risin but we havent slept
Im not ready to rest my head yet
Huddle close till you get no air
See the crew down leicester square
Night-crawlers morning dew
People watchin - is it you?
Jump the bus and fell hoppin
London town is still buzzin
Oh its really buzzin, yeah
London town is walkin
I said its really talkin, yeah
Steppin in the walk of life
I said, makin out the walk of life
London town Im stalkin
I said Im really walkin, yeah
(repeat)
