Among his most famous songs is “9pm (Till I Come)”, which topped the charts in the United Kingdom in 1998 and is widely regarded as the UK’s first Trance number one. The track features a guitar riff which became hugely popular. This guitar sound, which he accidentally found while experimenting with a new producing deck, became the trademark of his early hits. ATB continues to evolve and change with every album. His current style involves more vocals and varied sounds, with frequent pianos.
Despite only releasing a few more singles in the UK, namely “Don’t stop!” (No.3, 300,000 copies sold) and “Killer” (No.4, 200,000 copies sold), he still regularly releases music in his native Germany and in other parts of Europe, where he has scored big hits such as “I Don’t Wanna Stop” and his cover of Olive’s 1996 hit “You’re Not Alone”.
“Two Worlds” (2000) is a two-disc album based upon the concept of different types of music for different moods, with titles such as “The World Of Movement” and “The Relaxing World”.
ATB’s latest hits include uplifting “Ecstasy” and chilling “Marrakech”, both from the album “No Silence” (2004) and also released as singles.
In 2005, ATB released “Seven Years”, a compilation of 20 songs, including many greatest hits such as “The Summer”, “Let U Go”, “Hold U”, “Long Way Home”, and “I Don’t Wanna Stop”. Additionally, “Seven Years includes six new tracks: “Humanity”; “Let U Go (2005 Reworked)”; “Believe in Me”; “Trilogie, Pt. 2”; “Take Me Over”; and “Far Beyond”. Many of ATB’s recent albums have featured vocals from Roberta Carter Harrison, singer for the Canadian duo Wild Strawberries.
His next album was co-written by vocalist Tiff Lacey. “Trilogy” was released in 2007. The release of his second single “Justify” was moved from November 2006 to 2007. The single “Renegade” was released on 2007-04-12 and features Heather Nova.
On 2009-05-01 ATB released his latest album “Future Memories” featuring Josh Gallahan (a.k.a. jades) and others. The first single release of Future Memories which was also released on May 1st 2009 features What About Us and L.A. Nights.
His highly anticipated "Distant Earth" album was released 29th April 2011 and was comprised of 2CDs including combined work with Armin Van Buuren, Dash Berlin, Melissa Loretta and Josh Gallahan. A 3rd CD was also produced with all the club versions of the first CD hits. Singles released from the album include Twisted Love ft. Cristina Soto and Gold ft. JanSoon.
To date André continues to maintain a connection with his fans through social networking sites and still goes on tour.
Believe in Me
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you chose to sail away
Now take a seat and stay forever
And make me stop counting the days
Lately I heard you're doing well
Though I don't know how that feels
Believe in me - and hear me call
There's a world behind these walls that I just need to see
Believe in me
Every dream that had been shattered
Disappears without a trace
Now that I've found what really matters, yeah
After you had gone away
Even though you had been doing well
Don't you hide behind a smile
And just believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me
Believe in me - after all
Believe in me - and hear me call
There's a world behind these walls that I just need to see
Believe in me
The lyrics in ATB's song "Believe in Me" are about a person who had lost someone they cared about many years ago and now that person has returned. The song reflects the mixed emotions that come with such a situation, from the excitement of having someone back in your life to the uncertainty of how to move forward.
The opening lines "It's been some time since 97, when you chose to sail away" set the scene of distance between the two people. The person is now asking the other to stay and be a permanent part of their life, which is indicated through the lyrics "Now take a seat and stay forever, and make me stop counting the days". The bridge of the song suggests that the person is doing well, but there is a sense of detachment from that person's life when the lyrics say "Though I don't know how that feels". This reflects the sadness and regret that comes with losing touch with someone.
The chorus of the song is the most powerful part, with the repetition of "Believe in me" suggesting that the person is asking for trust and faith in their connection. The line "There's a world behind these walls that I just need to see" implies that the person has been waiting to reconnect and now wants to explore the possibilities of what that connection can offer.
Overall, the song is an emotional reflection on finding someone after losing them, and the hope that comes with the possibility of reconnecting, but also the hesitancy that can hold us back.

I want you to come back and stay with me permanently, as I no longer wish to count the days since you left.
And make me stop counting the days
I have spent a lot of time and energy tracking the number of days you have been gone, and I want to end this cycle by having you return to me.

Now that I've found what really matters, yeah
Despite the pain and heartache caused by your departure, I have finally figured out what truly matters to me, which is having you back in my life.
After you had gone away
Your departure created a huge void in my life and caused me immense pain and suffering.
Even though you had been doing well
Despite hearing that you had been doing well, I am not convinced that you have truly moved on from our relationship.
Don't you hide behind a smile
I am urging you not to put up a facade of happiness and contentment, but to be honest with me about your true feelings.
Believe in me
I want you to have faith in me and believe that we can work things out and be happy together.
