Too Much (Spice Girls song)
Too Much is a song by the British pop group the Spice Girls, released as the second single from their second studio album, Spiceworld (1997). Released on December 15, 1997, it was the group's second consecutive Christmas number one in the United Kingdom, and their sixth number one single overall.
The song is a ballad with a Motown-inspired sound, contrasting with the more upbeat and dance-oriented tracks from the Spiceworld album. Lyrically, "Too Much" explores the pitfalls of intense relationships and the overwhelming nature of certain emotions in love. The chorus emphasizes the idea that even good things can be detrimental in excess.
The single was released as a double A-side with "Stop" in certain territories. It was a commercial success globally, reaching the top ten in numerous countries. The accompanying music video featured the Spice Girls in glamorous evening gowns performing in a theatre setting, intercut with scenes inspired by various classic films.
"Too Much" has been performed live on several Spice Girls tours, including the Spiceworld Tour (1998), the Return of the Spice Girls Tour (2007-2008), and the Spice World – 2019 Tour.
