Changes
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 Ain't 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 the poorest charting and selling S Club single in the band's history, peaking at #5 in the UK. Another thing of interest regarding "Alive" was revealed on CD:UK's behind the scenes footage of the making of the video where Bradley revealed that the original version of the song showcased Paul on lead vocals rather than himself.
