  • Breakaway Pop Hit: "Scandalous" did significantly better than the Catwoman (2004) movie it was tied with. It was the group's only single to chart in America. As the video doesn't feature any movie clips, fans are likely to forget it was in the movie at all.
  • Breakthrough Hit: "One Night Stand" was their biggest success. Even though "All I Want" charted higher, "One Night Stand" had more airplay worldwide - charting in Oceania and Denmark.
  • Creator Breakdown: Sabrina admits to struggling with alcoholism after the group split.
  • Creator's Favorite Episode: Alesha's favourite track is "Why".
  • Dye Hard: Sabrina occasionally dyed her hair blonde or red.
  • Fake American: The video for "Roll On" takes place in Los Angeles, with the group portraying African-American women.
  • Follow the Leader:
    • One of many Girl Groups picked up to follow the lead of the Spice Girls in the late '90s.
    • Their blend of sexy but not trashy was clearly following Aaliyah's public image.
    • The video for "All I Want" features a bit calling each member of the group, the same way S Club 7 did in "S Club Party".
    • The colourful video for "One Night Stand" resembles the Destiny's Child video for "Bootylicious". Sabrina even dons blonde hair not unlike Beyonce's.
  • No Budget: The girls have said that the first video for "Why?" was filmed with a very low-budget, hence only one costume and location.
  • No Export for You: Alesha's debut album Fired Up wasn't released in the UK until the 2020s, but was released in Japan of all places.
  • Revival by Commercialization: "Scandalous" enjoyed a revival when it was featured on Grand Theft Auto V.
  • What Could Have Been:
    • Tina Barrett was part of the original Face 2 Face lineup but she left to join S Club 7. She was replaced with two new members, Su-Elise Nash and Zena Mcnally.
    • There have been talks of a reunion or comeback album for years. Alesha initially denied them but later said she'd be open to one.
    • "Outrageous" by Britney Spears was meant to be used in Catwoman (2004). Britney had a knee injury filming the tie-in music video, so they changed the movie's soundtrack single to "Scandalous".
    • The group were actually working on a third album in America by the time Telstar went bankrupt (usually blamed on them signing Victoria Beckham) and although they were offered a nice deal by a major label, Alesha wanted to walk away.
    • Su-Elise floated word around that she would release a solo album, but so far nothing has emerged.
