S Club 7 “Never Had a Dream Come True” (f/ Rod Kim)

S Club 7 “Never Had a Dream Come True” (f/ Rod Kim)

This week, we're joined by TikToker and songwriter Rod Kim to dive into the sugary pop world of S Club 7 and their lone U.S. hit, the 2001 ballad "Never Had a Dream Come True." While the UK couldn't get enough of this manufactured seven-piece pop machine, American audiences only got a small taste—so did we miss out, or was one hit enough? We unpack their career, the impact of their TV shows, and the behind-the-scenes realities of the pop industry, all while debating whether S Club 7's music holds up or was just a fleeting piece of early 2000s nostalgia.
