Believe it or not, it was
back in 2008 when
THE SATURDAYS
touched down on Planet
Pop and quickly set
about redecorating it in
the neon shades of their
sparklingly fluorescent
hyper-pop.

Since then a combination of nifty, killer tunes, super-tight performances and pure, hard graft has taken Frankie, Mollie, Rochelle,
Una and Vanessa from bright-eyed pop ingénues to permanent fixtures on the UK charts. Whatever scepticism and lazy comparisons
greeted them initially have simply been swept away by a tireless ethos of getting on with it. The fact remains, since their debut,
The Saturdays have had more hits than any other girl group in the land, racking up no less than five smash-hit singles and one
platinum-plus certified debut album and a 32 date sold-out tour.
The Saturdays are regulars in the upper echelons of the charts and Ego released in January has continued that run. Backed by a
thumping beat and some killer synth riffs the girls deal with an arrogant lover, telling him exactly where to go.
“Ego is about someone in your life who has changed dramatically,” says Una. “They go from being the best friend who shares
everything to being a big-headed egotist! The song is a way of taking them down a peg or two and warning them that they will lose
everyone and end up very lonely if they don't lose the ego.”
The video for Ego sees the girls all play characters with superhero abilities. Vanessa has voodoo powers, Una can
spontaneously combust things, Rochelle’s specialty is creating ice, Frankie controls electricity and Mollie can
summon storms. The villain of the video is Mr X, the epitome of ego.
