"Natural", S Club 7's fifth single, features Rachel Stevens on lead vocals. It describes love for an individual as a natural occurrence. There are three different versions of the song. The album version, included on the original release of 7, features a R&B style production. The single version is mixed with heavier pop music themes, including the use of a vocoder, and the male vocals are more predominant. The video version is identical to the single version, except it features extra adlib vocals from Rachel.
The official music video, directed by Andy Morahan,[2] features the group on a tropical beach. The video progresses to show the men fish in the water as the women observe from the beach while sunbathing. The video was filmed and directed in Malibu.
