"Scream If You Wanna Go Faster" is a song by singer-songwriter, Geri Halliwell. It was released on July 30, 2001 as the second single from Halliwell's second solo album of the same name. Written by Halliwell on the day of her first recovery meeting for bulimia, she described the song as "the things I did to avoid staying still and deal with my seemings." It is Halliwell's most rock based song to date that was inspired by her listening to Led Zeppelin the previous summer as encouraged by close friend, Robbie Williams. It received positive reviews by music critics, who complimented the singer's new style. The music video was directed by Jim Canty and Jake-Sebastian Wynne. To promote the single, Halliwell performed the song on Top of the Pops, Party in the Park, Musica Sí and Popkomm.

Music video

Halliwell plays two characters in the video. She said, "It's kind of like Lara Croft meets Blondie. The Lara Croft character, she represents spirit and soul, a little more organic, more playful. Then the (Blondie) character on stage, she's a lot more aggressive and sexual and represents ego."[1]


Chart performance

The song entered the UK Singles Chart at number-eight which became the lowest-charting single of Halliwell's career at the time. The single sold 27,458 copies in its first week, but ended up only selling about 80,192 copies in the United Kingdom.[2]
