[edit] Song information

Geri dropped the "Halliwell" from her name and became known as the rather diva-esque "Geri" for the release of this disco number. Strong competition from Girls Aloud, Destiny's Child and Lemar resulted in a final chart position of number four (from a midweek position of number two), with 19,196 copies sold in its first week. "Ride It" went on to sell 55,000 copies, and was the 143rd best selling single of 2004. The single was very popular throughout Europe, Asia and South America, especially in the clubs. A remix of the track was later included on several Dance Compilations in the US and had big exposure on music channels, especially on MTV Europe where "Making The Video" was shown to promote the single.
