This track didn't chart well, though, and the group disbanded. In 2000, after Melanie Thornton left the group to pursue a solo career, she was replaced by Natascha Wright with a single called 'All I Want'. The group was the brainchild of German producer Frank Farian. Their most successful hit 'Be My Lover' was top 10 across Europe and peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. La Bouche (IPA : ) was a Eurodance act based in Germany, fronted by black American-German singer Melanie Thornton.
