En Octubre De 1997 Las Spice Girls Comenzaron A Promocionar Los Singles De Su Segundo Álbum. Se Corrige En Este Momento El Desfase De Tiempo Que Tenían Entre Distintos Mercados Como El Europeo Y El Norteamericano Y En Esta Ocasión Llevan A Cabo La Promoción De Forma Mundial. La Fecha De Lanzamiento Fue Estratégicamente Retrasada Para Sustituir Más Fácilmente Al Por Entonces Número Uno El Single Candle In The Wind De Elton John.

A Puertas De Embarcarse En Los Conciertos Al Otro Lado Del Charco Geri Halliwell Anuncia Su Deseo De Abandonar El Grupo Por Discusiones Entre Ellas Y Continuar Su Carrera En Solitario Siendo Su Escisión Ya Prácticamente Definitiva.
El Resto Del Grupo Por Su Parte Continúa Unido Y Prepara Su Tercer Álbum Con Un Sonido Más Maduro Y Ciertos Toques R&B Que Produciría Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins Forever El Cual Tuvo Un Comportamiento Aceptable En Todo El Mundo Superando Los 4 Millones De Copias Sin Embargo Las Chicas Picantes Decidieron Cancelar El Tour Mundial Que Tenían Preparado Así Como La Promoción De Más Singles De Forever. A Principios De 2001 Y Tras Varias Reuniones Con Su Discográfica Se Detiene La Promoción De Forever A Pesar De Que CD's Promocionales Habían Sido Enviados A Distintas Emisoras De Radio Anunciando Un Segundo Single Tras Esto Cada Una Retoma Sus Proyectos En Solitario Pero Nunca Se Disolvió Oficialmente El Grupo Mediante Comunicado De Hecho La Web Oficial Del Grupo Continuó Durante Años Abierta.

Despite Receiving Mixed Reviews From Music Critics The Song Won Best British-Written Single At The 1997 Ivor Novello Awards And Best Single At The 1997 BRIT Awards. The Single Was Released In July 1996 In The United Kingdom Reaching The Top Of The UK Singles Chart For Seven Consecutive Weeks And Received A Platinum Certification By The BPI. In January 1997 The Song Was Released In The United States Topping The Billboard Hot 100 For Four Weeks Becoming Their Only Number-One Single In That Country. "Wannabe" Is One Of The Most Recognisable And Successful Songs Of The 1990s. By The End Of 1996 It Had Topped The Charts In 22 Nations And By March Of 1997 This Number Had Climbed To 31 Before It Became The Best-Selling Single By A Female Group In The History Of Recorded Sound Selling Over Six Million Copies Worldwide. Writing And Inspiration "Wannabe" Was Co-Written By The Spice Girls Richard Stannard And Matt Rowe. Stannard And Rowe Also Co-Produced The Track. The Song's Central Emphasis Is The Union And Solidarity Of Friends An Implicit Challenge To Any "wannabe" Lovers. Stannard And Rowe Began Writing With The Group In January 1995 And The First Song They Wrote Was Called "Feed Your Love" A Slow Soulful Song Which Was Eventually Recorded And Mastered For The Spice Album – But Not Used Because It Was Considered "too Rude" For Their Target Audience. Having Completed That One The Girls Wanted To Write Something A Bit More Uptempo. "Wannabe" A 21 Second Sample From The Spice Girls' First Single A Dance-Pop Song About Union And Solidarity Between Friends. Rowe Set Up A Drum Loop On His MPC 3000 Drum Machine Which Was Quite Fast But Also Had A Strutting Quality About It. For Stannard The Rhythm Brought To Mind The Spirit Of John Travolta And Olivia Newton-John Performing "You're The One That I Want" In Grease. Then The Girls Added Their Own Contributions Into The Mix. Rowe Commented "They Made All These Different Bits Up Not Thinking In Terms Of Verse Chorus Bridge Or What Was Going To Go Where Just Coming Up All These Sections Of Chanting Rapping And Singing. And Then We Just Sewed It Together." Halliwell Wrote In The Group's First Official Book Girl Power! That Melanie Brown And Emma Bunton Came Up With The Song's Chorus And Was In That Moment That They Realised They Had Something Good. The Group And The Producers Were Working All Week On The Song But Only Half Was Completed By Friday Night So It Was Decided To Finish It The Following Week. According To Victoria Beckham's Autobiography Learning To Fly That Week She Traveled To Torquay To Attend The Wedding Of A Friend Of Her Then Boyfriend Mark Wood She Communicated With The Other Girls With A Cellphone She And Halliwell Recently Bought Even Though Beckham Wrote "It's Not The Same Thing By Phone". The Song Was Finished And By The Time They Were Going To Record It Every Solo Parts Were Already Divided Beetween The Four Girls. Beckham Only Participates During The Choirs Of The Song. While Other Tracks On The Album Each Required Two Or Three Weeks Of Studio Time The Group Was Able To Record "Wannabe" In Under An Hour – Mainly Because They Had Already Written Parts Of The Song Beforehand. The Song Won International Hit Of The Year And Best British-Written Single At The 1997 Ivor Novello Awards Presented By The British Academy Of Composers And Songwriters. It Also Won Best Single At The 1997 BRIT Awards. Critical Reception "Wannabe" Received Mixed Reviews From Music Critics. Allmusic's Reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine Said "none Of The Girls Have Great Voices But They Do Exude Personality And Charisma Which Is What Drives Bouncy Dance-Pop Like 'Wannabe' With Its Ridiculous 'zig-A-Zig-Ahhh' Hook Into Pure Pop Guilty Pleasure". Christina Kelly From Rolling Stone Called The Spice Girls "another Bubblegum Pop Group That Offer A Watered-Down Mix Of Hip-Hop And Cheesy Pop Balladry Brought Together By A Manager With A Marketing Concept" Adding "Spice Girls' Idea Of Power Seems To Be Flaunting That They Are All That But The Lyrics Make Alanis Morissette's Sound Like Patti Smith's. A Few Nuggets 'If You Want To Get With Me Better Make It Fast...' Despite Their Pro-Woman Posing The Girls Don't Get Bogged Down By Anything Deeper Than Mugging For Promo Shots And Giving Out Tips On Getting Boys In Bed." In A Poll Conducted By The Magazine To Identify The Ten Most Annoying Songs This Song Was Ranked Eighth. Matt Diehl From Entertainment Weekly Also Noticed The Combination Of Genres Describing "Wannabe" As "more A Compendium Of Music Styles From ABBA-Style Choruses To Unconvincing Hip Hop Than An Actual Song" But Added That "there's Something Endearing About This Goofily Formulaic Euro Pop". Sputnikmusic In A Review For Spice Called The Lyrics "dire" And Wondered "how Could Parents Feed This To Their 10-Year-Olds? The Album's Lyrics Are So Heavily Laden With Smut I'm Surprised They Even Let Their Kids Have The Album" And Then Used "Wannabe" As An Example Saying "The Gist Of The Song Is Basically Get Your Act Together And Treat Me Right Or There's No Show. Not To Mention The Famous Zig-A-Zig-Ha... Try Replacing It With The Word 'sex' In The Lyrics And See How It All Suddenly Makes Perfect Sense" Adding "this Track Is Built Around An Infectious Keyboard Riff And So Profoundly Annoying You'll Want To Rip Your Toenails Off Just So It Will Stop. But It's Also Really Catchy Which Makes You Hate It Even More." Another Review From "Sputnikmusic" Said "The Lively Bubble-Gum Pop Of The Spice Girls Embodied A Gender Not Willing To Lie Down And Their Debut Single "Wannabe" Acted As A Proverbial Kick In The Pants For Male Chauvinists Worldwide." In The Simpsons Episode "Maximum Homerdrive" Homer Plays The Song In The Truck And Refers To It As The Ultimate Truck-Driver Song. The Song Was Also Used In The O.C. Episode "The Case Of The Franks" In The Episode "Stand Up And Holler" Of The CBS Crime Drama Cold Case 19 And In The Finale Of The Fourth Season Of One Tree Hill.
