"'Natural'" is a song by English pop group S Club 7. It was released on 11 September 2000 as the second single from their second studio album '7' (2000). The track was written by Norma Ray, Jean Fredenucci, Cathy Dennis, and Andrew Todd. It is an English cover of Ray's 1999 hit "Tous les maux d'amour", both of which sample Gabriel Faur's 'Pavane'. Upon the song's release, it peaked at number three in the United Kingdom and reached the top 50 in Australia, Germany, and Ireland.
Song information
"Natural", S Club 7's fifth single, features Rachel Stevens on lead vocals. It describes love for an individual as a natural occurrence. There are three different versions of the song. The album version, included on the original release of '7', features a R&B style production. The single version is mixed with heavier pop music themes, including the use of a vocoder, and the male vocals are more predominant. The video version is identical to the single version, except it features extra adlib vocals from Rachel.
