For years, Martin and Bobby Boer had been experimenting with music in a little bedroom. But then in 1990 things really started to happen for them, the single Can't Help Myself was picked up by Dutch radiostations and became an international hit.
After two singles the project was put on a halt. Martin moved into a new professional studio and started making remixes under the name Dancability Productions. He made remixes for acts like Becky Bell and Twenty 4 Seven. In the meanwhile Bobby was busy designing record-covers and CD-inlays.
In 1994 they decided to revive the 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor-project. Bobby joined Martin in his studio and after a while the two presented Never Alone. This single was the first to be launched with rapper D-Rock (real name is Renee Philips) and singer Des'Ray (real name is Desirée Claudette Manders). The song "Dreams", the title cut from their first album, was a major hit nationally and internationally inasmuch as it epitomized the essence of Euro-dance, which was popular when the song released in 1994.
The renewed style and concept were accepted well by the Dutch audience.
Two albums (Dreams (1994) and 2 (1996)) and nineteen singles have been released so far.

"Let Me Be Free" by 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor is about the struggle of balancing one's personal identity and relationships. The singer is trying to make a difficult decision between being himself or satisfying his partner's desires. The bridge poses the question of whether it's really the singer that their partner wants or just control over them. The lyrics seem to suggest that the partner is trying to change who the singer is, and they want them to be free from that manipulation. The chorus reinforces this desire for freedom, with the singer insisting "let me be free".
The sub-chorus provides a bit of insight into the singer's perspective on relationships. They acknowledge that things in life are often free, but what they really need is love. Even though love inevitably involves both joy and pain, the singer is willing to accept this duality without shame. Furthermore, they ask their partner to love them for who they are, without trying to change them. The singer's struggle seems to center around the conflict between being in a relationship and staying true to oneself.
