   来自英国由四个才艺双全的阳光男孩所组成的优格男孩（a1），就是在唱片公司历经三年严格的选拔中选出的优秀男孩品种，无论在外在体态及内在的音乐素养皆是令人称羡，同时具备青春偶像与演唱实力多元性格，99年进入歌坛即迅速成为全英传媒注目的焦点，促成短短的时间已有3支英国金榜Top10单曲，一跃为人气最旺、最受欢迎的男子团体。 
   每位组员各有擅长的音乐风格：Mark专攻流行乐， Ben专攻灵魂乐及节奏蓝调， Paul偏好放克乐， Christian对摇滚乐情有独衷，于是各有所长的四位团员迸出灿烂的音乐火花，使得首张专辑《Here we Come》，融合Pop、Soul、Rock等丰富多样乐风，再加以与制作雪儿（Cher）畅销百万的超级冠军单曲“Believe”的名制作人Brian Rawlings和Mark Taylor共同制作专辑，一方面展现团员们创作词曲耀眼实力，另一方面团员默契十足的美声合音，在表达真挚的情感、款款柔情或欢愉动感的情绪，都有满分的诠释。首支单曲“Be The First To Believe”，一首洋溢活力青春的劲作一举打入英国金榜单曲榜Top 6，接下来继续推出的快乐单曲“Summer Time of Our Lives”，在活蹦流畅的节奏推波助澜之下，也快速跃进全英Top 10。最新一波主打双单曲“Everytime/ Ready Or not”首周进榜就拿下Top3,再次证明了a1的每一首歌曲都有打进流行排行榜的实力与潜力，其中包含有流行舞曲，也有动人情歌，在优格（a1）男孩和谐动人的合音演绎下，是张兼具流行及质感的上等货色。 
   2000年11月底时优格男孩（a1）发行的全新专辑《The A List》，更是充满了十足的信心。先前翻唱自A-HA经典名曲的首支主打单曲“Take On Me”，让优格男孩（a1）一举夺下英国金榜冠军，并表示这首歌就是他们优格男孩（a1）的“American Pie”，他们表示当时在录制第二张专辑中听到了玛丹娜翻唱的“American Pie”，那时他们就开始想如果是优格男孩（a1）要翻唱旧歌的话会想要翻唱哪一首歌？而当他们听到“Take On Me”时，立刻就知道就是这首歌是a1优格男孩的幸运美国派！果然当年红遍全球的“Take On Me”让优格男孩（a1）迅速打进英国歌迷心中及全球乐坛，接下来的“Same Old Brand New You”也让他们再尝冠军滋味。目前优格男孩（a1）在英国的声势正急速上升中，被誉为最有希望的男孩团接班人。

And as I look into your eyes 
I see an angel in disguise 
Sent from God above 
For me to love 
To hold and idolise

And as I hold your body near 
I will see this month through to a year 
And then forever on 
Til life is gone 
I will keep your loving near

And now I have finally found my way 
To lead me down this lonely road 
All I have to do 
Is follow you 
To lighten up my load

You treat me like a rose 
You give me room to grow 
You shone the light of love on me 
And gave me air so I can breathe 
You open doors that close 
In a world where anything goes 
You give me strength so I stand tall 
Within this bed of earth 
Just like a rose

And when I feel like hope is gone 
You give me strength to carry on 
Each time I look at you 
There is something new 
To keep our loving strong 
I hear you whisper in my ear 
All of the words I long to hear 
Of how you will always be 
Here next to me 
To wipe away my tears

And now I have finally found my way 
To lead me down this lonely road 
All I have to do 
Is follow you 
To lighten up my load

You treat me like a rose 
You give me room to grow 
You shone the light of love on me 
And gave me air so I can breathe 
You opened doors I closed 
In a world where anything goes 
You give me strength so I stand tall 
Within this bed of earth 
Just like a rose

And though the seasons change 
Our love remains the same 
You face the thunder 
When the sunshine turns to rain 
Just like a rose

You treat me like a rose 
You give me room to grow 
You shone the light of love on me 
And gave me air so I can breathe 
You opened doors I closed 
In a world where anything goes 
You give me strength so I stand tall 
Within this bed of earth 
Just like a rose

You give me strength so I stand tall 
Within this bed of earth 
Just like a rose
