Keeping in theme with Steps' "Heartbeat" and Britney Spears' "...Baby One More Time," here's another one from 10 years ago—Five's (or 5ive) "It's The Things You Do."For some reason I was dying to hear this the other week, so I went digging through my box of old CD singles and found it. British boy band Five had one lone Top 10 U.S. hit with "When The Light's Go Out" in summer 1998. This one was the follow-up (in the States only). Alas, while it charted, it didn't make it to the Top 40.
"It's The Things You Do" was produced by Max Martin and Jake. It's a bit more subdued than the stuff Max was doing with Backstreet Boys, NSync and Britney Spears at the time, though, for the most part, it follows the same Cheiron formula.Five were initially put together by Bob and Chris Herbert, (who'd previously wrangled the Spice Girls) and were signed by Simon Cowell.
Anyway, "It's The Things You Do" always reminds me of fall. Below is the video. (There was another clip on YouTube, without the Spanish subtitles, but it had audio problems.)
Meanwhile, hit up the gallery on former Five member-turned-DJ Richard "Abs" Breen's official site for some rather, uh, revealing photos!
