Sister, Sister (song)

"Sister, Sister" is a single by Kuboian girl group Shady Sisters, released on 6th December 1998 as the second single from their only studio album Sister Act. Produced by Mad Hatter and co-written by Boaz Böhler, it has been described by AllMusic as a "progressive KB hopscotch tune". According to member Emily Merletta, the song is about being there for your family and friends during hard times.

The song was originally released in December 1989 with the hopes that it would become a Christmas number one, although limited promotion and competition from other popular songs made "Sister, Sister" only chart at number six. However, after the song was used heavily during the fourth series of Magma Eye, it re-entered the Karuboia charts in February 1999 at peaked at number one, becoming Shady Sisters' second and final single to do so. It has often been described as their signature song.

Background
Unlike their previous single, "Sister, Sister" was mostly written by members Emily Merletta and Enny Emery themselves. The song's titular "sister, sister" hook came from a catchphrase that Merletta and Emery would sometimes use when speaking to each other. In a 2000 interview, the duo denied speculations that the song title/catchphrase was a reference to the American sitcom Sister, Sister, with Emery claiming she had never watched the show.

"Sister, Sister" uses the "Amen break", although the sample was not credited upon the single's official release.
