She is best known for winning the BBC's Fame Academy in 2003, for her singles, and for the albums, Introduction and Honesty.

The road to fame started for Parks when her father submitted an impromptu application to the BBC's Fame Academy. She won the contest, and was given the opportunity to showcase her self-penned song "Maybe That's What It Takes" to a public audience. The song was released on 17th November 2003 and peaked at number 3 in the UK Top 40 the following week. Her debut album Introduction was subsequently released and sold over 500,000 copies

Parks went quiet for a long time, amid rumours that she had quit the industry, but returned late in 2005 with an acclaimed album entitled "Honesty". Unlike her previous album, everything on here consisted of her own work, something which she had been wanting ever since the Fame Academy days. Unfortunately, due to poor publicity and distribution issues this album did not reach as wide an audience as she may have liked.

Sweeter & Sweeter
Alex Parks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

One touch intense as pain on my lips
You laid it bold, I am told of you
You show me, I want you
So take me

[Chorus]
You make me sweat
My body weeps for you

Sweeter and sweeter
Trembling but still I stole my breath and you

I fell with ease onto
Your floor, you're there
Embrace me
Its like you knew

[Chorus]

I listen hard, we'd be the same
I realize the point of my life
I hold you so close
So close I won't let go, I don't want to

[Chorus: x2]

And you and you and you
