The Manchester-based music group was a collaboration between Leanne Brown and Catherine Cassidy, with the pair remembered for the song over two decades later.
This being said, Flowers failed to reach the top spot in the charts, instead peaking at number two.
Their follow-up track 8 Days A Week missed out on the top 40.
Meanwhile their only album, In Person, was released only in Germany.
However, the members of Sweet Female Attitude are still performing and making music.
Leanne, a school teacher, also delighted fans with an appearance on the newly-launched Big Breakfast re-boot two years ago.
Catherine was last known to be working as a music and production tutor.
Yet their track Flowers is still finding fame two decades on.
Fellow Mancunian Aitch released track Flowers (Say My Name) inspired by the band’s track of the same name.
Leanne has been touring with other UK Garage legens this year.

She recently shared the stage with MC Neat, Kele Le Roc and Shola Ama, alongside House and Garage Orchestra.
Speaking about the tour, she said: “I am so privileged to be alive and still active in the music scene for the arrival of the House and Garage crossover to orchestral, from being electronic based.
“This new phenomenon will keep the scene alive for people who still love those tunes from back in the day.
“I love underground music, my personal preference for tunes when I’m listening in the club or in the car is underground and raw, however my musical career began with me playing classical music as part of a Steel Orchestra for years, so merging the two together in order to create something credible is like a dream come true for me.”
She added to Strong Island: “I will forever have a huge amount of love for the song ‘Flowers’ and everyone involved in making it – it has brought about opportunities that would not have occurred otherwise.
“People don’t really know that we spent 4 or 5 years back in the day trying to push Flowers before anyone would listen.”
