Echobelly was founded in London in 1992 by Sonya Madan and Glenn Johansson, a musician. Influenced by British alternative music and post-punk, they developed during the Britpop era. Their breakthrough single, "I Can't Imagine the World Without Me" (1994), garnered significant acclaim.

Everyone's Got One (1994) debuted in the UK Top 20, followed by On (1995), which reached number eight. Echobelly toured extensively throughout Europe, performing at Glastonbury 1995 and 1996.
