Hear'Say achieved instant fame, breaking chart records with their debut single " Pure and Simple" and the album Popstars. This was the debut single for the band put together in the first ITV Popstars series on British TV, which they won after over 2,000 hopefuls had been auditioned.

Many critics noted that the song had a distinct resemblance to Oasis's " All Around the World" and All Saints' " Never Ever". Bridge over troubled water, a cover, but you only have to listen to this once to love it, and the third song - i can't stop thinking about it - a faster one.Hear'Say's popularity had been eclipsed by that of Liberty X, a band composed of the five other finalists of Popstars. BBC Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles even recorded a parody version of "Pure and Simple" that included the song lyrics from these two songs. Pure and Simple" was released on 12 March 2001 in the United Kingdom and received a continental European release in April 2001.
