Even at a very young age she was already performing. Her first big hit came in 1976, when she released her début song The Alternative Way together with Hans Vermeulen. The record reaches the 1st place in the charts and also her next songs will become a huge success.
Slowly her success descents and she changes record label in 1980. There she gets a fresh new group of people to guide her and there her third single Why Tell Me Why (1981) dominates position 1 in the charts for weeks and it became the best sold record of that year in The Netherlands. This is the true beginning of a booming music career.
In 1983 she performs for the first time with Lee Towers. The record sales diminish slightly in the next period, but in 1986 she records the chart breaker Run To Me with Lee Towers. This will also be her last Top 10 hit in The Netherlands. Still, her albums and concert tickets sell very well. By the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s she performs several times in the completely sold out Ahoy' (a huge concert hall in the city of Rotterdam).
In 2005 she's back in the spotlights by appearing as a team captain in the tv show Het Gevoel Van. In May 2006 she's on stage at the big musical event of Musicals in Ahoy'. Later she will appear as Grizabella in the Dutch version of the musical Cats. Of the five actresses who play this part, she gets to play in the première.
In 2008 she does a series of guest performances for the Luchtmachtkapel in the concert series Hollywood In Concert. She did this together with Lee Towers.
Blame It On Love
Anita Meyer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you can't be sure of things you might regret
dressed up in white tuxedo two tone shoes and yes
he's got them all in one he's got the cream of the crop
First you say no but then you end up and say you're told
you can't except proposals to unknown
but your resistance is gettin' low
can you afford a sin?
Refr.:
Blame it on love blame it on full moon lights
underneath where everythingrhymes gettin' better
all the time
blame it on love blame it on shoo-shoo eyes
a lot of sugar and spice gettin' sweeter all the time
I got a secret and it takes one to reveal
that certain one just got to be one who's here
Refr.:
Sometimes you feellove's been so cruel to let you down
there's too much ache and pain a heart can take
but dont unwind just get it straight on in line
don't sit and bite your time creating superstitious minds
Wrap up your soul and throw away all that blues
you can't rely on a fortune teller's truth
get on that train of love when it starts to ride
it sure can ease your mind so let it loose don't fight
Refr.:
I got a secret and it takes one to reveal
that certain one just got to be one who's here

The song Blame It On Love by Anita Meyer is a story about a woman who is warned not to go with a stranger. She initially resists the proposal of the man dressed in a white tuxedo with two-tone shoes, but eventually gives in and blames it on love. The lyrics suggest that sometimes love can cause people to take risks and make decisions that they may later regret.
The first verse advises against going with strangers and warns that there is always the potential for regret when taking chances with unknown people. The second verse demonstrates the internal struggle of the woman, who initially resists but eventually gives in to the man's proposal. The refrain, repeated twice throughout the song, encourages listeners to blame their actions on love and the sweet allure of its power.
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the potential consequences of giving in to love and desire. It suggests that while love can certainly make people feel alive and happy, it can also be a source of pain and regret.
