She passed the audition with flying colours and began doing session work. She also decided that great food and sunshine were a good reason to stay in Italy. After a while, seeing that she enjoyed singing and everybody said she had an amazing voice, she decided to start a solo career.
She went to Larry Pignagnoli, a famous producer of dance music with a long list of international hits to his name, and did a studio test on a track that Larry was working on with a young, highly talented arranger called Marco Soncini.
The result is 2 Times, one of the most extraordinarily unforgettable debut songs to come out of the international dance scene in a long while.
2 Times went to no.1 in Denmark, no.2 in United Kingdom and Belgium, Top 10 in in France, Germany, Austria, Australia, New Zealand, Italy, Netherlands, Norway and East Europe, collecting many Gold and Platinum discs.
The second single, Voices, reached top 1O positions in [palce]Spain, Denmark and the Czech Republic. It was released in United Kingdom in February 2000 and went straight into the Top 30.
The third single, an irresistible cover version of Ring My Bell came out in Europe, while 2 Times began exploding in Canada.
Ann Lee's debut album, Dreams, is currently on release and selling well all over the globe!
The fourth single, taken from the Dreams album, So Deep, gave free rein to her inimitable vocal prowess.
Now Ann Lee is back with an irresistibly catchy dance anthem No No No, just released all over the world.
No No No
Ann Lee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For far to long I've had nothing new to show to you
Goodbye, dry eyes
I watched your plane fade off west of the moon
Than I felt so strange to walk away alone
No regrets, no tears goodbye
Don't want you back
Say goodbye again
The ours that were yours echo like empty rooms
But the thoughts we used to share
I now keep alone
I woke last night and spoke to you
Not thinking you were gone
Than it felt so strange lay awake alone
Our friends have tried to turn my nights to day
Strange faces in your place
Can't keep the ghosts away
But just beyond the darkest our
Just behind the dawn
It still feels so strange to lead my life alone
The lyrics of Ann Lee's song "No no no" convey the emotions of heartbreak and the end of a relationship. The first two lines indicate that the individual the song is addressed to is leaving, and that this departure has been a long time coming. The singer then goes on to describe how she has nothing new to show to the person who is leaving, indicating perhaps that she has been stagnant or unable to grow in the relationship. The chorus then expresses a clear sentiment - that despite the pain of separating, the singer does not want to get back together with the person who is leaving, as it would only lead to more sadness.
The second verse speaks of memories and shared experiences, and how the singer now has to keep those thoughts to herself. The third stanza picks up on the theme of loneliness, as the singer speaks of how strange it feels to be awake and alone after having been so used to being with the other person. Finally, the last verse speaks of the struggles of moving on, as the singer describes the efforts of her friends to help her, but also how the ghost of the former lover still haunts her. The final lines, however, provide a glimmer of hope, as the singer speaks of moving beyond the darkness and into a new dawn.

C'mon Gimme some company
I've got all dressed up now
Let's go out and have a laugh c'mon
Mmm should'a known
No no no no no!
No no no no no!
You just go alone oh oh
No no no no no!
Hm mm mm mm mm
Out to eat or for a drink
But you're too tired you gotta think
"I'll let you know" is what you say
"I'll tell you later on in the day"
But I know you'll say "no"
They're your friends
You just go alone
We've got friends out there you know
Why they still call I just don't know
"I'll let you know" is what you say
"I'll tell you later on in the day"
But I know you'll say "no"
They're your friends
You just go alone
"I'll let you know" is what you say
"I'll tell you later on in the day"
But I know you'll say "no"
They're your friends
You just go alone
"There's a nice film on the telly"
I've already seen it
No matter, I'll read a book or something
C'mon honet please say Yes!
But I know that you'll say
"No they're your friends you just go alone"
The same everytime
C'mon change your mind
Say yes just this time
