Following a short break, the group released "Being Nobody", a mashup of Chaka Khan's "Ain't Nobody" and The Human League's "Being Boiled". "Being Nobody" reached number three in the UK singles chart. Preceding their second album, Being Somebody, the group released "Jumpin", which managed to peak at number 6. Being Somebody was released on 3 November 2003, debuting at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart. The group released the album's final single "Everybody Cries" in January 2004. The single missed the UK Top 10, reaching a disappointing number 13. The group were to re-release Being Somebody, and was to feature a cover version of the Kool & the Gang song "Fresh" which was released in a selection of European countries, but not the UK. It peaked at number 35 on the French music charts.
Their third album, X, was released in October 2005. The first single, "Song 4 Lovers", reached number 5; the album peaked at number 27. The second single, "A Night to Remember", a cover of the Shalamar classic, entered and peaked at number 6 in the official British singles chart; it also peaked at number 16 in France, their biggest hit there since "Just a Little". The third single was a slightly remixed "X". The song failed to hit the Top 40, peaking at a low number 47. "X" also peaked at number 89 in France, their lowest chart placing there, just ahead of "Holding On for You", which reached number 109.
In 2012 the group reformed for The Big Reunion, an ITV2 series showing them rehearsing for a one-off comeback performance in 2013. Three members of the group, Michelle Heaton, Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young, have continued as a girl group.
