Wikipedia article




"'They'" is the first single released by Welsh singer Jem from her debut album, 'Finally Woken' (2004). It includes a sample of the Swingle Singers' 1963 adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach's Prelude in F minor (BWV 881) from Book II of 'Well-Tempered Clavier' from their album 'Jazz Sebastian Bach'. "They" was released in the United States in February 2004 and was issued worldwide the following year. The song became Jem's most successful single, reaching number six on the UK Singles Chart, number one in Hungary, and the top 20 in Austria, Ireland, and Greece.

Music videos



Jem released two music videos for "They". The UK version, directed by Laurent Briet, features Jem stripping herself in a spaceship (although she remains covered by strategically placed light based holograms of planetary orbital paths); this is actually a boy dreaming about her as he constructs a model of the same spaceship back on Earth. The US version features Jem walking at a park while being accompanied by a number of children. She then encounters several signs and decides to violate them. Some intercut scenes show her at a roundabout being spun by children.
