Info "Alive" (help·info)

"Alive" was a single released by UK pop group, S Club on November 18, 2002. Called a "power-packed dancefloor thriller" in the Best inlay booklet, the track features strong disco beats and samples. Alive was the first single to be released under the S Club name rather than S Club 7, and it was also the first single to be released without Paul Cattermole. "Alive" was the penultimate S Club single and apart from the Double A-Side "Say Goodbye/Love Ain't Gonna Wait for You", was the only track to be released from the fourth album, Seeing Double. The B-Side, 'Discotek' was led and co-written by Tina Barrett.

There were several changes made to the Seeing Double album following Jo's illness (a back problem in which she had to take time out of the heavy promo campaigns and gruelling schedules and dance routines). On "Alive", "Love Aint Gonna Wait For You" and "Dance" the band re-recorded the lead vocals that Jo sung to be performed by Rachel Stevens, so Rachel could take centre stage during promotions. The release was originally planned to have CD1 with Jo, and CD2 with Rachel, but, the idea was later scrapped in favour of Jo's vocals. The song was ironically the poorest charting and selling S Club single in the band's history, peaking at "only" #5 in the UK.

The video for "Alive" is, ironically, the only S Club video to not show Paul in some way, shape, or form. In Seeing Double, Paul can be seen during the shots of the band playing live. In the music videos for Love Ain't Gonna Wait For You and Say Goodbye, Paul can be seen in archive footage and replays of the bands previous videos respectively.
