"Soap Disco" is the debut (and only) single by American alternative rock band Kara's Flowers, who later became Maroon 5, released on July 22, 1997, by Reprise Records as the lead single from their first (and only) album, The Fourth World. Unlike the pop-soul sound of Maroon 5, this track features a mix of pop-punk[1], power pop and alternative rock, influenced by Britpop, drawing comparisons to Blink-182. Despite high expectations from the band and record company, the album failed to catch on and "Soap Disco", was a failure, eventually leading the band to part ways with their label and re-emerge years later as Maroon 5.[2] The band made an appearance from the television series Beverly Hills, 90210, where they performed the song in the episode "Forgive and Forget".[3]
