Qhov thib ob album, uas tsis yog nrov nyob rau hauv cov chaw xws li UK, tau muab peb ntau ntawm kev hwm tshaj li thawj album.

Nthuav: Peb ib txwm siv cov khoom ntawd los ua roj los pab peb thawb, txawm li cas los xij, vim peb xav ua pov thawj rau tib neeg peb tuaj yeem ua tau. Peb tseem zoo li ntawd.

Nthuav: Qhov ntawd yog ib tug neeg thuam nrog qhib siab. Lawv tuaj yeem pom qee yam zoo txawm tias lawv tsis hlub.

Dif: Cov no yog cov neeg uas tau siv sijhawm los khawb rau hauv cov suab paj nruag, mloog txhua zaj nkauj, thiab nkag siab tias nws yog dab tsi es tsis txhob hais qhov pom tseeb. Uas tau hais tias, txij thaum pib, peb tau txais qee qhov phem heev los ntawm ntau tus neeg sau xov xwm, tab sis koj tuaj yeem qhia lawv tau hnov ​​ib zaj nkauj, thiab qhov ntawd yog nws.

Dif: Annie Lennox nug kuv rau kuv daim ntawv sau npe, uas zoo nkauj heev. Nws yog rau nws cov me nyuam, tab sis kuv tseem zoo nkauj stunned.

Nthuav: Kuv xav tias qhov kev qhuas zoo tshaj plaws los ntawm lwm tus kws ua yeeb yam lossis pab pawg yog thaum lawv npog ib qho ntawm koj cov nkauj thiab ua qee yam xws li "Barbie Girl" ntawm lawv tus kheej cov ntsiab lus. Qhov ntawd yog ib txoj kev uas lawv qhia peb tias lawv nkag siab peb.

Dif: Muaj ntau lub suab qeeb ntawm zaj nkauj uas kuv nyiam.

Thompson: Puas yuav ua tsis tau rau Aqua thiab Thoob dej yug ntses puas tau tsaws thiab muaj kev vam meej nyob rau lwm lub sijhawm hauv keeb kwm suab paj nruag? Qhov no yeej yog ib pliag.

Dif: Peb tuaj ntawm qhov chaw uas muaj chaw rau ib pab pawg zoo li peb, thiab nws yog qhov ua tsis taus pa ntawm huab cua ntshiab thiab muaj txiaj ntsig zoo rau qhov peb nthuav tawm peb cov nkauj. Kuv tsis xav tias yuav muaj lwm lub sijhawm zoo li ntawd. Yog peb tso “Barbie Girl" or Thoob dej yug ntses tam sim no, kuv tsis paub tias nws yuav mus li cas. Kuv xav tias muaj ib pliag cia li tos peb.
