Whole Again

"Whole Again" is a song by the English girl group Atomic Kitten for their debut studio album, Right Now (2000). The original demo, first included on the Japanese release, was co-written and produced by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark members and Atomic Kitten founders Andy McCluskey and Stuart Kershaw under their production moniker Engine, with Jem Godfrey and Bill Padley providing additional songwriting and production for the re-recorded UK album version. "Whole Again" is the group's biggest-selling single and was the final single to feature founding member Kerry Katona, who left the group midway through promoting the single; she was then replaced by new member Jenny Frost from fellow English girl group Precious, who re-recorded Katona's spoken parts for promotion. As a result, the music video was reshot and Frost's vocals appeared on the reissue of Right Now. "Whole Again" was released as the fifth UK single (and sixth overall) from the album and became an international success, reaching number one in several countries and selling over a million copies in the UK alone. The four writers were nominated for the Ivor Novello Award for excellence in songwriting, and Billboard ranked the track number 96 on their list of the "100 Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time".
