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.
Could You Believe
ATB Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea there's something that knowing and knowing something's what it's all
About
So come on, stand out
'Cause running and running is turning something into knowing, lookout
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop looking, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
Just around the corner everything is shining gold
A new kind of soldier looking for a lot of soul
Oh yeah
Just around the corner everything is shining gold
A new kind of soldier looking for a lot of soul
Oh yeah
This time, your life
Fractions and seconds make eternity in just one night
So come on, stand out
'Cause running and running is turning something into nothing, no doubt
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop looking, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop looking, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
Just around the corner everything is shining gold
A new kind of soldier looking for a lot of soul
Oh yeah
Just around the corner everything is shining gold
A new kind of soldier looking for a lot of soul
Oh yeah
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop looking, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop looking, yeah)
Could you believe, you believe (Don't stop, yeah)
The lyrics of ATB's "Could You Believe" explore the concept of belief and knowledge, with a strong emphasis on the power of knowing. The first verse speaks about disarming and letting go of preconceived notions, to truly understand something. The lines "Yea there's something that knowing and knowing something's what it's all/ About" suggest that knowledge is the key to belief. The chorus poses the question "Could you believe?" four times, urging the listener to keep looking and never stop believing.
The second verse emphasizes the importance of time and living in the present moment. The lyrics "Fractions and seconds make eternity in just one night/ So come on, stand out" suggest that time is precious and every moment counts. Running and rushing through life will only lead to "turning something into nothing" - suggesting that by slowing down and understanding the world around us, we can turn something into knowing and belief.
The repetition of the lines "Just around the corner everything is shining gold/ A new kind of soldier looking for a lot of soul" suggests that there is hope and optimism in the future, and that by continuing to search for meaning and knowledge, we can find gold.
Overall, the lyrics of "Could You Believe" encourage the listener to take a step back, embrace the present, and seek knowledge in order to truly believe.

ATB is one of the few electronic music artists that I have consistently liked over the years. His hooks aren't cheesy commercial pop songs with over use of distorted synthesizers and ridiculous drops. They obviously have certain mainstream qualities and beats but that doesn't make his stuff bad. I like the happy tone and the main hook is mesmerizing. I saw another video explaining toto's 'Africa' and how it is a success because the hook lags however both songs essentially have the same hook however ATB's doesn't lag and it still sounds great!
