I was so bloody excited last week to get the chance to chat with songwriting legend Miranda Cooper, to tie in with our massive Top 50 Girlband Singles poll.

For the uneducated, Cooper – together with Brian Higgins’ Xenomania team – wrote or co-wrote almost every non-cover in Girls Aloud‘s discography, excluding just a handful of songs on the first album, and a couple of the new ones on Ten. Aside from that, she’s written on a shitload of other incredible music, with acts like the Sugababes, Gabriella Cilmi, Alesha Dixon, Cheryl, Florrie, Mini Viva, The Saturdays, Kylie Minogue(!!)… and she co-wrote every song on Diana Vickers‘ cult classic Music To Make The Boys Cry.
She is – and I cannot stress this enough – a pop music God.
As anyone who caught the results of our Top 50 Girlband Singles will know, Girls Aloud’s Call The Shots was voted No1, with many more of Cooper’s tracks popping up elsewhere on the list (there’s one hell of a playlist here).

So for anyone who missed the interview on the radio over the weekend, here’s a lil’ transcript of our Q&A. (And yes, I have massively watered down my own relentless, barely coherent fanboying at the start of the chat.)
Thanks so much to Miranda for giving up her time – we’ve chucked an extra donation into the Women’s Aid fundraiser as a thank-you.
SK: This is such a huge deal to be speaking to you, you’re behind so many of just… the best songs. And Electric Angels is the name of this site and radio station, and it’s a lyric in Memory of You!
MC: I know! We always called that song Japan, it just had a working title of Japan, that’s always what I know it as. And when you said Memory of You, I was like ‘…oh yes, oh gosh, Electric Angels!’ I love that song. It’s a very special one.
SK:I remember when it first came out, you had to buy some sort of special edition vinyl thing or something, so before streaming came along it was like a rarity. So it’s had this sort of legendary, cult status and people just adore it. Rightly so!
MC: We’d had it for so long. I wrote it for myself when I was an aspiring popstar many, many years ago, so I feel like it was a good six years old by the time the girls came to sing it.
SK:Well, the vote hasn’t closed yet [obviously it has now] but it’s looking fairly likely that Call The Shots is going to be voted the best ever girlband single in our poll. You did so much for Girls Aloud – does this song stick out to you as one of their best? Or are you surprised that of everything you did with them, it’s this one in particular that seems to still resonate so strongly?
MC: I’m really glad. It’s funny, some people still refer to it even now as a ballad – because it was the first time they did something a little more emotional. We always went in for the shock factor.
We actually wrote the chorus in Paris two years before the girls sang it. It was around the time we were doing their first Greatest Hits, and we ended up doing Something Kinda Ooooh instead, which summed up where they were at so far. And then, however long it was, two years later, we dug it out again and just knew it was really special. We felt like they had to be emotionally mature enough to sing it, or to have had enough life experience, I guess, which they all did by then. They packed a lot in every year!
So we finished it off in LA, it’s quite a global record. And I remember writing the lyrics… I was going through a difficult relationship myself, so I was writing it in my hotel room late at night. Nadine sang it first, then the other girls sang on it, and we were immediately like, ‘yep, this just feels really great’. And it felt maybe a little more timeless than some of the other ones, and more classic. They just totally did an amazing job. Like I was saying, we were used to doing things that really pushed the envelope, but this felt like it was just a really good pop song.
SK:I was just looking through old press stuff and I found Cheryl saying at the time that it was her favourite from the Tangled Up era. Was everyone else as excited it about behind-the-scenes as you guys were? Was it quite an easy one to get through the door?
MC: It was, it was. It was the second single from Tangled Up, is that right? The first one was Sexy No No No. I actually wanted [Call The Shots] to be the first single, but it was great because that video for Sexy No No No really stepped them up. They had the fashion moment, with an amazing make-over, it was a real step forward in their videos. And then being able to follow it up with this song…
I think it’s Chris Martin’s favourite song of Girls Aloud’s, and that’s why he chose them to open for him and Jay-Z at Wembley Stadium. So I do feel like if I ever met Chris Martin, I need to shriek. ‘I wrote it!’
But yeah, it’s always been special, and I’m really glad people have gone for that! I thought it might have been Sound of the Underground or The Promise… but that makes me very happy.
SK:Well, they’re both doing very well as well, don’t get me wrong…! But yes, the pop gays are very, very into Call The Shots.
MC: Brilliant. I’m really glad, and I know Brian [Higgins] will be delighted, I must tell after this.
SK:You were such an integral part of the band’s entire legacy; you guys were with them more-or-less their entire career… that’s so rare. Looking back now, it must feel really cool?!
MC: It was, and compared to now, it was such a luxury to have the honour of having an album to make every year which you knew would be coming out, and you knew people would listen to it.
Miranda Cooper Flash Twitter
At the start, we had Sound of the Underground ready, and then we had a few other tracks on that first album. And a few weeks before it was coming out, we listened to the rest of the album, and we were like, ‘actually, we want more on here’! So I think for very little, but lots of extra work, we suddenly felt more attached. And for us, to be honest, Brian had enormous success with Believe with Cher, but other than that, this was a chance for us as much as it was for them. We needed Girls Aloud as much as they needed us. We had lots of people saying, ‘no, just do Sound of the Underground and get out… reality TV acts, it’s saturated…’ Hilarious, that was in 2002…
SK:Oh, wow…!
MC: And for us, it was an opportunity to make amazing records in a different way. Other artists we were working with had a defined sound already, but we had a completely blank slate.
We were a very random mixture of people brought together by Brian. My background, I grew up listening to musicals, but then I loved The Cure… we had Nick Coler who had a really punky background, we had Tim Powell who was doing dance music, we had Brian who had a very interesting musical background… and it was distilled into this really strange, interesting pop sound. None of us had really worked in the record industry that much before, so we didn’t know the rules. We didn’t know we were breaking them! And it was amazing. Nowadays, with Spotify, you need to have a very short intro, you need to get people’s attention immediately… with Biology, the chorus doesn’t come in until, what, one minute thirty or something, and it’s two back-to-back! The structure and stuff, we just played around. It felt very organic, and we were very lucky. I was probably around 25, 26, so I felt like I was very much a young woman in London experiencing the same things as the girls. So it was quite a cathartic experience.
SK:I don’t know how it felt for you actually being in the industry, but as a music fan at the time, it felt like you guys were really at the front of pop, because at that point it just wasn’t…
MC: …it wasn’t cool!
SK:Exactly.
MC: And I mean, obviously Sugababes helped enormously with that Richard X record, Freak Like Me. But we were like, ‘oh my gosh, we can do whatever we want’. And we were very lucky in that we had a champion in Colin Barlow at Polydor records, and he would always seek out the most original ideas. I remember there were times when Brian would come back from meetings, and I remember with Love Machine, he’d say ‘guess which one he’s chosen?!’ And Love Machine was the last one we’d expected; I could not believe they’d gone with something like that! But it was brilliant.
It was definitely a really magical time. We were hungry. From the moment we put out each album, we’d be thinking about the next one, and always writing. We’d write for ourselves, but it was difficult to tell where Girls Aloud ended and we started. So we did it with great love. And I know we were known as a pop factory, or a hit factory, but we put our hearts and souls into it, and it felt like life and death. And so important. Because it was important! I know it was only writing songs, but… it’s so lovely to see, nearly twenty years on, that they’re still having such an impact.
SK:Well, that leads me on quite nicely to the fact that right now [the day of the interview], one of your songs is No1 on iTunes; Hear Me Out. Given the circumstances, I imagine that must be quite moving…
MC: It’s really bittersweet. We loved the song when we wrote it. It was obviously only a B-side, and interestingly [the What Will The Neighbours Say? album] was the girls’ first try at writing, and we really didn’t have much time. Normally, we would write a tonne of songs to get down to the album, but I think they literally only had a writing session each with us. And it was always a special song. I listened to it a lot at the time, but I hadn’t really listened to it since, and then somebody called me yesterday saying ‘my gosh, have you seen?’
It’s weird because the lyrics are quite prophetic, it feels like a survival song – strength in the face of adversity. It’s wonderful that she used the title for her book, and I just hope it brings comfort, because the lyrics seem to have much more of an added weight during this really sad, difficult time for Sarah. But she is a fighter. And I like that the song has this fighting spirit.
It’s amazing, seeing that the fans, still… how powerful they are!
SK:Yeah, well I was aware that they were planning this, and… I mean I say ‘they’ like I wasn’t knee-deep in it myself…
MC: [Laughs] I didn’t know anything about it! I was so shocked!
SK:Well, I was aware that it was a thing that was going to happen, and then yesterday [Thursday, March 18] I refreshed the iTunes chart at 9am and it wasn’t there, refreshed it at 9:30 and it was No3, then by 10:00 it was No1!
MC: That is… I mean, it is really wonderful. I know the rest of the girls were delighted as well. I hadn’t listened to it [for a while]. I always thought it was just [Sarah] singing on it, because when she demoed it, it was her song so it was just her singing it. So when I listened to it again yesterday – and funnily enough I was working with Jon Shave, who was part of Xenomania and he’s gone to have huge success beyond Xenomania – he had programmed the drums, so we were both, ‘oh my gosh, let’s listen to it again!’. And I was like, ‘wait a minute, I don’t remember Cheryl being on it!’ because I had been listening to the very original version. But it still stands up, I think!
SK:Absolutely. Now, I wanna just talk about another song of yours which is looking good to be in the Top 10 of this survey, which is All Fired Up by The Saturdays. Which I imagine was a totally different experience to what you were doing with Girls Aloud…
MC: We actually auditioned The Saturdays. Bit of a secret! But yes, Brian and myself auditioned them. We thought we were going to work with them. We were unsure at one point, I think, if Girls Aloud were going to take a bit of time out, so we thought, ‘OK, well let’s do another girl band’. Then in fact, Girls Aloud said ‘no, we’re doing another album’, so we thought ‘we can’t do both’. Even though at one point we were doing Sugababes and Girls Aloud, we always tried to keep the sound very different. And so The Saturdays, we worked with them at different points, but I think this was the first time we actually had something out.
I feel like this is slightly less my song, because I think I was on maternity leave at the time. I think I wrote a verse, or something… so it’s not a Cooper Classic! I wasn’t as involved as I was in all the Girls Aloud songs, or other songs. I think Tim Deal wrote the chorus…? I can’t remember. But it is classic Xenomania, it’s just such a bold statement. And I think for the girls, to have finally got that bit of Xenomania magic… they obviously had plenty of other hits with other people, but I think they thought, ‘great, finally’ because they’d been promised when they auditioned that we’d be working with them!
SK:You’re right, though, you do listen to it and you just think ‘Xenomania!’
MC: I know! It always felt like it was us against the world. When I started working with Brian, we were in his spare bedroom in East Grinstead, and there were three or four of us. Then we were in his garden shed – and that’s when Believe became huge – and then we finally ended up in this really lovely manor house in Kent. It’s all I’d ever known, so it felt very natural. But for people coming down, I think they were really stunned because it was a sort of ‘music house’, with every cupboard, every door you opened, there was someone in there making music. It was a pretty magical place.
And I think when we started, there was no internet where we were, which was a joy – we were able to do what we did without looking over our shoulders at what everyone else was doing. Which would be so difficult now. But we were in our lane, doing our own thing, and we were completely able to get on with it.
SK:Finally, I just wanna touch on what I think was your first number one; Round Round for the Sugababes?
MC: Yes! Is that on there [the Top 50]?
SK:It is! Another absolute classic. How did that come about? Did I read that it was a case of having the beat in one drawer and the song in another drawer, and it was like, ‘OK, do these go together?!’
MC: Brian had the beat and we were writing on it, but because there wasn’t much in this sample he had, we weren’t writing brilliant stuff. And then, I think it was a Friday afternoon… I was wanting to get the train home so I could go out, or something. And he said, ‘have a look through your back catalogue’. We would do this a lot, we would try out all sorts of different melodies and chorus ideas and verse ideas and put them over different pieces of music. And literally, I remember as I was going out the door, he sort of shrieked and said, ‘this one works! This one works!’
And that was a really exciting time. I had been signed to London Records as an artist myself, and that gone fairly badly, so I had been dropped. And also Sugababes had been dropped. So it really was us against the world, we had so much to prove, and the girls had so much to prove. So we had this chorus idea, and then they got involved in the verses, and it just… I remember Brian playing it to me and it just sounded amazing.
I was in Ibiza on holiday when it went to number one, I think Fatboy Slim played a mix of it, and I was like ‘oh my God, this is the most amazing thing!’ It was after six or seven years of having not much success. And actually the next song we had after that was Sound of the Underground, which also went to number one, and I was just like, ‘this is so easy!’ [laughs] And of course it wasn’t easy, it was lots of work and obviously everything we did after that didn’t go to number one necessarily, but that was the start for us. And Brian had obviously had the enormous hit with Believe and then there was, you know, this big gap. But he wanted something out that he’d written from scratch, at that time, and Round Round was exactly that. And Round Round was great because grown-ups were like, ‘wow, this really cool’. And it was great to do something really edgy, because I think pop around that time had been very much R’n’B-pop.
SK: Incredible. Well, thank you so much! Your songs are literally all over this Top 50.
MC: I’m really chuffed. I’ve been trying to educate my children in all mummy’s hits, and they love them. I’m so delighted that people still love them.
