Scream If You Wanna Go Faster is the second studio album by British pop singer Geri Halliwell. It was released by EMI Records on May 14, 2001 and yielded the UK number-one single "It's Raining Men". Although not as successful as her debut album Schizophonic, it reached a peak position of number five on the UK album chart. With first-week sales of 35,000 copies and total sales of 155,000, it became the 127th best selling album of 2001 in the UK. It eventually received an American release digitally via the iTunes Store on October 30, 2007, despite the relatively poor sales in the UK which ensured Gold status only.

Halliwell described the album as "bright and colourful";[2]

Album details

Scream If You Wanna Go Faster includes a cover version of The Weather Girls' "It's Raining Men" (1983), which became Halliwell's fourth and (to date) final no.1 UK single.

Halliwell commented about the album: "There's deeper meaning underneath if you care and chose to look. Some of it is deep as a puddle, some of it is a bottomless pit, like a well".[2]
