2001
before reforming in May 2011.
, in a group of their own called 3SL
. After little success they were dropped from their label, and split up.
Scott-Lee decided she would go solo and was signed to Mercury Records
. She stepped back into the limelight in April 2003 with her debut single, "Lately
", which she co-wrote. The single was released on 12 May 2003 and pulled into the singles chart at a respectable number 6.
On 8 September 2003 Scott-Lee released her second single (which she also co-wrote), "Too Far Gone
", which entered the charts at number 11.
Mercury parted company with Scott-Lee when they feared her success might be limited. She was left without a record company. As a result her album, Unleashed, was cancelled, although promotional samplers had already been released.
Scott-Lee went on to be featured in the Girls of FHM
music video for "Do You Think I'm Sexy?" in the summer of 2004, all the while preparing to release a new single.
The single, "Get It On
", was a collaboration between Intenso Project and Scott-Lee. At the time the song was created they had yet to score a record deal for the song and were forced to self-fund the video. Eventually Ministry of Sound
picked the song up and it was released on 28 November 2004. Despite numerous personal appearances and various promotional events, the song's highest place on the charts was at number 23. The "Get It On" music video was ranked in the FHM top 100 sexiest music videos.
), her brother (Andy Scott-Lee
), former publicist (Sean Borg), 80's pop singer turned music manager (Nathan Moore), and her brother's girlfriend Michelle Heaton
(of Liberty X
). The show was to be the UK version of Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica.
As time passed more information was revealed. The show, titled Totally Scott-Lee
, originally Scott-Lee Unlimited, was to follow Scott-Lee on her effort to put her career back on track. The challenge of the show was that she had to score a top ten hit with her next single, or she would be forced to quit the music industry.
Scott-Lee was signed to a small record label, Concept Records, and began recording songs for her next single. Concept chose "Electric
" and starting making plans for its release. The single had to be released on 10 October 2005 in order to meet with deadlines for the MTV
show.
Roseann McBride, assistant to managing director Max Bloom of Concept Records
has gone on record (on the show and in private) several times saying that she was against the record being released on this date. One of the main reasons for this was that it would have very little promotion time (5 weeks as opposed to the usual 8–10 weeks). The song was released and, despite a television show backing her, it failed to reach the top ten, as "Electric" charted at number 13.
Following the end result, Lisa said in the show that she deeply regretted agreeing to quit the music business. She said that she only went along with it to please other people, and that she wished she had "never said it". The final episode focused on her reaction, and the reactions of the people around her, as she came to terms with the end of her career. Other highlights of the show included Scott-Lee's brother Andy proposing to his girlfriend Michelle Heaton in a restaurant, and the constant arguments between his and her family. The show has recently started screening in foreign markets. Following the failure of "Electric" to achieve its targeted top 10 position (by only around 500 or so, after selling well over 8000), plans were announced to release "Electric" in Japan, Australia, Germany and South Africa.
In Australia, "Electric" spent two weeks in the Top 100, but failed to chart in the Top 40. She went to South Africa and Germany to promote the single, but did not go to Australia. Despite the failure to chart, the album will be released in Australia. Scott-Lee released "Boy on the Dancefloor", a song from her unreleased album, on her website as a Christmas gift to her fans in 2005. The MP3
download came with a note which read: "Merry Xmas from Lisa and all of the LSL team, we hope you love this free Xmas gift and have a great time singing and dancing along."
On 1 October 2006, it was announced that Scott-Lee would "film a great new TV show for mainstream TV" on her official website. It later emerged that the TV show in question was the second series of ITV
's Dancing On Ice
, although this was not officially confirmed until late December 2006. Her participation in Dancing On Ice began on 20 January 2007.

Despite the claims being reported by various news stations and newspapers, the reunion was denied by bands members, including Claire Richards on her Twitter page. Richards also announced on 9 July 2011, that a Steps reunion would be "silly", but she would "never say never". However, contrary to these claims, just 12 days later, it was announced that Steps would be reuniting for a four-part Sky Living documentary, depicting their split and the intermittent years. The band would also release their 'Ultimate Collection', as well as potential new material.

Steps recently said in a recent interview with Digital Spy
that they believe there is a gap in the market for their brand of "happy pop". Scott-Lee said "Times have changed, but we are in a recession and Steps' music was very light-hearted and fun, so there could be a place for that in today's society," "What else is interesting is that there aren't any boy/girl pop groups out there at the moment, so there's definitely a gap there."
Steps released there Ultimate Collection on 10 October and became the bands third number one album, later the announcment of a nationwide area tour was confirmed for 2012 followed with a possiblity of a new studio album.
Due to the huge sucesess of the Steps reformation Scott Lee re released her debut album on 5 December 2011 the re release features a revised track listing of 15 tracks.
