Although dedicated to dance, DeBourg also had an early interest in singing and was vocalist for several bands during his adolescence. After a knee injury ended his dance career, DeBourg turned his hand to songwriting; recorded by R&B songstress Jamelia in 2000, his song "Money" reached #5 on the UK Singles Chart. DeBourg was encouraged by a friend to create several demos of his own singing. These attracted the interest of Dreamworks scout Robbie Robertson. DeBourg was introduced to then in house producers Tim & Bob and subsequently signed to the label and the duo produced his debut album, Tell the World. The high-production album, released in 2002, launched the single "I Need an Angel", which hit #30 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart.
In 2007, DeBourg auditioned for the fourth series of The X Factor and reached the final twelve acts to sing in the live rounds of the competition. He was mentored by Louis Walsh, but was eliminated by the public and judges on 27 October 2007.
In 2008, UK artist DJ Ironik presented DeBourg on his new album, No Point In Wasting Tears.
Love Me Like You Do
Daniel de Bourg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're the color of my blood
You're the cure, you're the pain
You're the only thing I wanna touch
Never knew that it could mean so much, so much
You're the fear, I don't care
Cause I've never been so high
Let me take you past our satellites
You can see the world you brought to life, to life
So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Fading in, fading out
On the edge of paradise
Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find
Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire
Yeah, I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
I'll let you set the pace
Cause I'm not thinking straight
My head spinning around I can't see clear no more
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do
Touch me like you do, to-to-touch me like you do
What are you waiting for?
In Daniel de Bourg's song Love Me Like You Do, the lyrics are focused on the intense feelings that come along with being in a passionate and deep emotional relationship. The first verse of the song talks about the all-encompassing nature of the singer's feelings for their significant other, describing them as "the light, the night, the color of my blood, the cure, the pain, the only thing I wanna touch." The singer is saying that their significant other embodies everything that is important to them, and that they never knew they could care about someone so much.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, with the singer talking about their fears and the unknown future that lay ahead. However, even though there is fear, it's not enough to stop them from experiencing the intense emotion, as the lyrics say, "cause I've never been so high." The bridge of the song talks about the physical and spiritual connection between the two, with the singer saying that their significant other's touch is like "every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find."Finally, the chorus repeats the desire for the significant other to love them and touch them, with the question "what are you waiting for?" acting as a call to action to deepen the relationship even further.
