Boucher, born June 2, 1979, is the middle child of seven daughters. The name "Butterfly" was a suggestion from a friend of the family. Her mother didn't initially like the name but kept seeing butterflies in pictures, on clothing, etc. before the birth. In later years, Butterfly's sister had a band, The Mercy Bell, in which Butterfly played bass guitar. In 2004 and 2005, Boucher toured the U.S. and Canada, opening for Sarah McLachlan and Barenaked Ladies.
Butterfly currently resides in the United States. She released her first track of the album, "I Can't Make Me," in the UK first. It did poorly. However, when she released that track along with "Another White Dash," her U.S. success was assured. While a second album is in the pipeline, there is no official date for its release.
Boucher sang David Bowie's "Changes" with Bowie on the soundtrack for Shrek 2.
Boucher sang "I'm Different" on the "For The Kids Too" CD which was released in 2004 and is currently available on iTunes.
A remix of Boucher's single, "I Can't Make Me" is featured on "Charmed: The Book Of Shadows," a soundtrack from the television show on The WB.
Boucher's songs "Life is Short" and "Never Leave Your Heart Alone" were featured on the hit show "Grey's Anatomy" during the first season. And the track "Bitter Song" was featured during season 3 of that same show.
From July 22 to Aug 6, 2008, Boucher toured with nine other artists from Tennessee as part of the Ten out of Tenn tour.

I Found Out
Butterfly Boucher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can only be who I am
I can only do what I can
I won't try to describe the relief
And the rush
Where did the panic and the racket begin?
I swear I don't remember letting them in
Again
Please slow down
We don't need to be
Anywhere but here
Please slow down
I'll miss it when your heart's not around
Please slow down
I found out
I can only be who I am
I can only do what I can
I won't try to describe the relief
And the rush
Where did the panic and the racket begin?
I swear I don't remember letting them in
How could this possibly be happening?
Again
So please slow down
We don't need to be anywhere but here tonight
Please slow down
I miss it when your heart's not around
Please slow down
Slow down
I'm going seeking
Hoping to find
All the raptures you're hiding
I miss it when your heart's not around
Please slow down tonight
I found out
I can only be who I am
I can only do what I can
I won't try to describe the relief
And the rush
Where did the panic and the racket begin?
I swear I don't remember letting them in
How could this possibly be happening?
Again
Again
The lyrics to Butterfly Boucher's song I Found Out are about acceptance and being true to oneself. The opening lines of the song, "I can only be who I am, I can only do what I can," suggest that the singer has realized that she can't try to be anyone else or do anything beyond her abilities. The relief that she experiences from acknowledging this is described as a "rush." She questions how the chaos and anxiety that came into her life began, and wonders how it could possibly be happening again. She pleads with the person she's singing to slow down, recognizing that she doesn't need to be anywhere else but with them. In the bridge of the song, she sings about going on a journey to find the things that her loved one is hiding, acknowledging that she misses their presence when they are gone.
The song's chorus repeats the opening lines, stressing the importance of accepting oneself for who they are. The rush and panic that the singer experiences can be interpreted as a metaphor for anxiety and personal struggles. The song's message is especially relevant in today's society, where individuals are constantly bombarded with societal expectations and the pressure to conform to certain standards. The plea to slow down and savor the present moment is reflective of the importance of mindfulness and living in the present.
