In 1984-1987 and in 1998-2003 he was part of the pop duo Modern Talking as a producer, singer and songwriter. In 1986-1989 Bohlen was a producer and songwriter of disco queen C.C.Catch whom he discovered. After the first split-up of Modern Talking in 1987 he formed Blue System, which was basically an one-man group, since he was the lead singer, composer, arranger and producer. For most projects Bohlen employed background singers to produce a high-pitched chorus, if needed, and his frequent collaborator in the studio was Luis Rodriguez (listed as "co-producer"). In 1988 Bohlen signed a young 15 year old singer named Anna Garcia (Sheree) "Ronnie Talk to Russia". The record was short lived and a sex scandal was covered-up. The song was abruptly pulled at Anna's (Sheree) and her mother's request due to Bohlens sexual advances towards her in a hotel room in Turkey where she was to perform the song as an opening act for Bohlen until Bohlen attempted to force himself upon the 15 year old Garcia. After refusing to have sex with him she was forced to sleep in the hotel lobby because he refused to give her a room. After her arrival back home she demanded to be released from her contract. To avoid the scandal the record company and Bohlen quickly agreed to release Anna Garcia(Sheree)and she was released. Later Bohlen wrote music for many German movies, TV series and shows.
Bohlen was married to Erika Bohlen (born Sauerland) from 1983 to 1994 and has 3 children from this marriage. Even before he was legally divorced, he lived with - but never married - his new girlfriend Nadja Ab Del Farrag AKA Naddel. A pharmaceutical laboratory assistant, she was a background dancer for Blue System at that time. In 1996 he married model and singer Verona Feldbusch but divorced her after 30 days, propelling Verona to celebrity status (she went on to host television shows such as "Peep" and "Verona's Welt"). After breaking up with Verona he produced German boygroup Touché which was founded by one of group's five members Karim Maataoui. Bohlen eventually returned to Naddel, but the two split up again in 2000. Afterwards, Bohlen lived with 1979 born model Stefanie Ingrid Küster (nick name "Estefania") until 2006. They have one son- Maurice - born mid 2005.
He met his current girlfriend Carina in Majorca, Spain where one of the castings for the current episode of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (the German version of Pop idol) was produced.
In 1986 Bohlen wrote and produced Chris Norman's "Midnight Lady" for an episode of the German crime show "Tatort" - the song which became a major hit in central Europe.
He has been in the jury of Deutschland sucht den Superstar (Pop Idol in Germany) for seasons 1 through 4 and has scored several major hits with the participants. Bohlen has also released two autobiographical books about his career and his women and his experiences with singers. The first book was an unprecedented success in Germany.
In 2006 Bohlen issued a new album called "Dieter - Der Film" that was a soundtrack to a movie of the same name.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh
Come baby, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, every time I see your face
Love is all that matters to me
Your love is my destiny
There will never be another you
Girl, I swear that is true
And I'll never say it again
Oh girl, can't you understand?
Don't let me down
Just take my heart
Can't let you go
Don't break apart
Sometimes I'm weak
Sometimes I'm strong
But it's my heart
Where I belong
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of me
Oh, I can't get enough
Of this sweet, sweet dream
Oh, when the night, comes falling down
There is one thing I have to know
If you are playing, tricks with me, girl
Oh, you better go
Where did you sleep, my girl, last night?
Oh, can you tell me?
And will you go, or will you stay?
Will you leave me in misery?
In Dieter Bohlen's song Don't Let Me Down, the lyrics express the singer's deep love for his significant other, and how he can't bear the thought of losing her. The song starts with a repetition of "Yeah", which sets the tone for the upbeat and lively melody. The singer confesses that every time he sees his lover's face, love is all that matters to him. The song is an ode to his lover, and the lyrics seem to convey a sense of urgency and desire to hold on to their love.
Additionally, the singer mentions that every time he touches his lover's lips, it feels like destiny. He then swears that there will never be anyone else like her and pleads with her not to let him down. As the song progresses, he explains that he may be weak or strong, but his heart is where he belongs. He encourages her not to be afraid of love or him, as he can't get enough of the sweet dream that their love creates. The chorus emphasizes his desperation for her not to break his heart, and to take his heart with her.
Furthermore, the lyrics take a darker turn toward the end, as he asks where she slept the previous night and whether she will leave him in misery. This section of the song depicts the fragility of their love, and the anxiety that comes with doubts and insecurities. The singer paints a picture of a passionate love affair that is not without its challenges.
