Born in Neerpelt to Spanish parents, María Isabel Perez Cerezo discovered her talent at the age of 5. The singer was discovered for her musical talents by her former manager Patrick Renier at a local talent show.
In 1999 she participated in the Belgian preselections of the Eurovision Song Contest and from then on Belle's career in music took off. She started off in pop music but in 2002 changed her style to latino/pop and went live on stage with her own "Baila Perez"-band. The album that came with it was an instant success and remained on the top spot in the Belgian charts for several weeks.
By 2006 her career was at an incredible high. She reached the status of "star" in both Belgium and The Netherlands. Her numerous concerts in both countries sold out in record time. In May 2006 she performed for the first time in the Antwerp Sportpaleis. Later that year, she also took the stage at Heineken Music Hall (Amsterdam).
In the summer of 2006 she released her long awaited new album 'Gotitas de Amor', after having released her fifth and Best Of album at the end of 2005.
2007 and 2008 proved to be equally successful with the Latin Fever tour, once again a sold out concert at the Sportpaleis Antwerp and for the very first time a show at Ahoy Rotterdam. Also, in 2008, the album GIPSY hits the stores.
In 2009 Belle Perez celebrated her 10th anniversary as an artist. Standaard Uitgeverij released her biography, she toured once again with her live band and put out a DVD, all named "DIEZ" (Spanish for TEN).

Belle Perez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I met you boy
You're like a rainbow
In a starlit sky
Listen to your heart
You are the reason
Why I come alive
If you'd only touch me
Maybe I'm too shy now
Don't know what to do
I only want to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Hey! Can't you see?
Honeybee
That's what you are to me
I want to follow you
Wherever you go
Gee! Fantasy!
I want to be
The one to set you free
I'm so in love with you
If you'd only know
Love is a miracle
I see it in your eyes
They're shining
You got me walking
In a golden sky
I could dance on clouds
And face the world
If I could touch your smile
But you don't even see me
Baby, why, oh why
Maybe I'm too shy now
I don't know what to do
I only want to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Hey! Can't you see?
Honeybee
That's what you are to me
I want to follow you
Wherever you go
Gee! Fantasy!
I want to be
The one to set you free
I'm so in love with you
If you'd only know
Hey! Can't you see?
Honeybee
That's what you are to me
I want to follow you
Wherever you go
Gee! Fantasy!
I want to be
The one to set you free
I'm so in love with you
If you'd only know
Want to wrap my arms around you
Want to wrap my arms around you
Want to wrap my arms around you
Never let you go
Want to wrap my arms around you
Want to wrap my arms around you
Want to wrap my arms around you
Never let you go
Hey! Can't you see?
Honeybee
That's what you are to me
I want to follow you
Wherever you go
Gee! Fantasy!
I want to be
The one to set you free
I'm so in love with you
If you'd only know
Hey! Can't you see?
Honeybee
That's what you are to me
I want to follow you
Wherever you go
Gee! Fantasy!

The lyrics to Belle Perez's song Honeybee are about a person who is deeply in love with someone else, who they see as the reason for the vibrancy they see in the world. The singer compares their love interest to a rainbow in a starlit sky, and sings that their heart comes alive thanks to this person. However, despite her feelings, the singer is too shy to express her emotions and is frustrated that her love interest does not seem to notice her. She expresses a desire to wrap her arms around them and never let go, and hopes to be able to set them free.
The song is a testament to the power of love and the feeling of being so enamored with someone that they become the center of your world. It portrays the frustration of being too shy or uncertain to express those feelings, as well as the hope that someday those feelings will be reciprocated. The "honeybee" metaphor represents the sweetness and buzz that comes with being in love, and the singer's desire to follow their love interest wherever they go.

I recognize its signs in your eyes
They're shining
They're exuding with brightness and happiness
You got me walking
You have me feeling like I'm walking on air
In a golden sky
As if I'm basking in the glory of a beautiful, heavenly vista
I could dance on clouds
I could feel incredibly happy and light if only you would take notice of me
And face the world
I could take on any challenges that life throws at me
If I could touch your smile
If only I could receive the gift of your beautiful smile
But you don't even see me
You don't acknowledge my existence
Baby, why, oh why
Why do you remain oblivious to me?
Want to wrap my arms around you
I want to be able to hold you tightly in my embrace
Never let you go
And never let you slip away from my life
