Daniel Powter released his debut album, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground. Powter has a music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing for France.
Daniel Powter's first piano pop single, "Bad Day," debuted not in his home country of Canada, but rather in Europe in mid-2005. It was chosen by Warner Brothers as a submission for commercial production and was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. Additionally, "Bad Day" is currently being used extensively by American Idol in its fifth season. Powter sang the song live at the end of the penulimate show of that season. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, and made it as high as number three on the overall European airplay chart. It did best in Germany, where it peaked at number one in national airplay, Ireland where it peaked at #1 on the Singles Chart, and in the UK, where it peaked at number two in the singles chart and stayed in the top 10 for 13 weeks. In the United States the song peaked at number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 seven weeks after it was released. In Australia, it peaked at number three. The song reached top five in Canada and is now a top 10 hit at Adult Top 40 radio. It was fifth place in the British Record of the Year 2005.
On July 2, 2005, Powter performed at the Berlin installment of Live 8, a simultaneous group of concerts in nine countries intended to raise awareness of poverty in Africa and put pressure on world leaders for aid.
On April 1, 2006, he was named the best new artist at the Canadian Juno Awards.
In March 2008, a song by Japanese singer Haru featuring Powter, "Find My Way", was released. In September, Powter released his third album, Under the Radar.
Powter also performed piano on tracks for what was scheduled to be Marcy Playground frontman John Wozniak's solo album, Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage, but the album will now be released under the band's name. Powter will still be given credit for his contributions to the album, particularly the album's single "Good Times".
Am I Still The One
Daniel Powter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't give them much thought
I crumble under pressure,
Made of steel I'm not
I don't like my reflection
I don't like what I see
I'm scared of my shadow,
It cast this doubt on me
Am I still the one?
Am I still the one?
I was standing in your shadow just to understand your pain
But when I needed you the most you looked the other way
I wanted you to comfort me the moment we begun
I loved you through your nothingness am I still the one
You're coming through the windows, you're crawling through the floor
You sent the spies to find me, now they're kicking down my door
But am I still the one
I was standing in your shadow just to understand your pain
But when I needed you the most you looked the other way
There's nothing left but emptiness it's all been said and done
I know you want me to believe that I'm still the one
So long to the angels
You got me on the run
Tell me that you'll never leave me again
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
Now you're sorry 'uhuh uh'
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
Now you're sorry 'uhuh uh oh-huh-yo'
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
'All these lovers'
Sorry 'oh-huh-yo'
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
'All these lovers'
Sorry 'oh-huh-yo'
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
'All these lovers'
Sorry 'oh-huh-yo'
Tell me that you'll never leave me again,
'All these lovers'
In "Am I Still The One?" by Daniel Powter, the singer/songwriter describes feelings of insecurity and self-doubt, wondering if he is still the person his loved one needs him to be. The first verse reveals the artist's apprehension towards the notion of being a hero and feeling inadequate when under pressure. He expresses displeasure with his reflection and the doubts cast by his shadow. The repetition of the question, "Am I still the one?" throughout the song further emphasizes his uncertainty about whether he is still worthy of love and devotion.
The second verse refers to a past relationship where the artist felt abandoned by his partner when he was vulnerable and needed comfort. He expresses disappointment in their lack of support and motivation to stand by his side. The song's chorus is the singer's plea to be reassured that he is not left alone and that he is still loved.
The bridge of the song introduces a new character -- one who is pursuing the artist, possibly threatening him. The lyrics "You sent the spies to find me, now they're kicking down my door" may imply a sense of betrayal that adds to the singer's existing doubts about the relationship.
Overall, "Am I Still The One?" is a poignant rendition of finding validation in a romantic relationship while navigating feelings of self-doubt and insecurity.

Grey's has spectacular music. I think there was only one episode since the very beginning that I didn't really like any of the songs on there. I have a list on my computer with over 300 songs from the show; great for mellowing out, thinking or studying :D
