The Show (Girls Aloud song)
"The Show" is a song recorded by British girl group Girls Aloud for their second studio album, ''What Will the Neighbours Say?'' (2004). It was released by Polydor Records on 13 September 2004, as the lead single from the album. The song was written by Miranda Cooper, Brian Higgins, Lisa Cowling, Jon Shave, and Tim Powell. The synth rhythm, composed by Shave, represents a change in musical direction from the band's previous releases. "The Show" is an uptempo dance-pop and electropop song with elements of the 1990 rave records. It garnered a positive response from music critics, who deemed it as another unique track produced by Xenomania, and was considered one of the best songs of 2004 by ''The Times''.
"The Show" debuted and peaked at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart, continuing the band's string of hits by becoming their fifth consecutive single to chart within the top three. The song also peaked inside the top ten in Ireland and certain European territories. In 2006, it charted at number 67 on Australia's singles chart. The accompanying music video was directed by Trudy Bellinger, and portrays the five members as characters working in a salon. To promote the song, Girls Aloud performed "The Show" at the 2004 Royal Variety Performance and at London gay nightclub G-A-Y. It was also performed on five of the group's concert tours.
==Background and release==
Following a brief hiatus, Polydor Records enlisted Brian Higgins and Xenomania to produce Girls Aloud's second album in its entirety, following the success of their debut album. Higgins explained that Polydor were not going to continue with the group's contract unless he produced songs for the album. He continued, saying that his initial reaction was that he thought he would only be required to produce a couple of songs, however Polydor insisted that he produce the album in its entirety and that they thought only he understood what they wanted.〔 The album was recorded from April to September 2004. For the lead single from ''What Will the Neighbours Say?'', Polydor presented the band four singles choices, including "The Show", "Wake Me Up", "Graffiti My Soul", and "Androgynous Girls". Although "Wake Me Up" was the preferred choice, it was deemed too hard sounding and the record company didn't want to take the risk, and they also added "Androgynous Girls" as a b-side to the album's second single three months later.〔 "The pressure to come up with singles was, as always, immense. But () we were able to have a lot of fun working on ideas that were maybe a little too odd to be on the radio," Higgins said.〔 They decided to release "The Show", which was debuted on 28 June 2004, less than six months after the release of "Jump".〔 It was released on two different CD single formats, but did not feature any new b-sides.
