* Svenja (born November 1984)
* Lotte (born May 1984)
* Lindsy (born November 1983)
Lindsy is described as a helpful little girl, sometimes timid, one of her favourite activities is chatting on the phone. Lotte is said to be open-minded and honest, and she loves animals. Svenja is sporty, she also loves dancing and shopping.
The three girls met in a dancing school in Eindhoven where their dancing skills were discovered by Platenproducer who signed them up for their first single Hide and Seek under the Djumbo Project. Their 2 first singles entered top 5 in their homeland and they succeeded, in less than 6 months, to become one of the most popular pop groups there.
Djumbo's style fits into the eurodance and bubblegum dance categories, although some of their songs are more pop-based. Their sound is quite similar to Ch!pz, who are also based in the Netherlands, and Swedish dance group Smile.dk. Both have the fun bouncy 'childish' style that make it popular amongst children.
The lyrics of most Djumbo songs are written in a combination of English and Dutch, with the majority of the song being in Dutch and the chorus (and title) being in English.

Djumbo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Blijft mijn hart heel even staan
Is m'n hoofd meteen op tilt (op tilt)
'K Hoor de stokken in mijn keel
Jou te zien is al te veel
Jij kan krijgen wie je wil
Ooh hou ik alles goed op een rij
Stiekem hoop ik dat je ooit komt voor mij
Will you ever feel the same
On and on you linger in my mind
Will you ever take me high
Will you ever make me fly
Day by day I am waitin' for a sign
Waarom ben je nooit alleen
Altijd iemand om je heen
Zie je hoe ik naar je staar
In de nacht dans ik met jou
Fluister ik "Ik hou van jou"
Maar die dromen zijn niet waar
Alle ogen volgen waar je ook gaat
Stiekem hoop ik dat je ooit voor me staat
Will you ever know my name
Will you ever feel the same
On and on you linger in my mind
Will you ever take me high
Will you ever make me fly
Day by day I am waitin' for a sign
Droom de hele dag
Ik wil hem ik wil hem ik wil hem
Dat ik eens in je ogen kijken mag
Wil je vragen om mijn naam
Zul je mij ooit wel zien staan
Elke dag verlang ik naar een sein
Will you ever take me high
Will you ever make me fly
Day by day I am waitin' for a sign
Ooh ooh
Ooh aah yeah
Will you ever know my name
Will you ever feel the same
On and on you linger in my mind
Will you ever take me high
Will you ever make me fly
Day by day I am waiting for a sign
The lyrics of "Know My Name" by Djumbo express the feelings of longing and yearning for someone who seems out of reach. The singer describes the intense emotions they experience when they see the person they desire, how their heart stops for a moment and their mind goes into overdrive. The person they are infatuated with seems unattainable, capable of having anyone they want, which only adds to the singer's feelings of inadequacy.
The singer admits to secretly hoping that this person will notice them, that they will finally know their name and reciprocate their feelings. The repetition of questions like "Will you ever know my name" and "Will you ever feel the same" reflects the uncertainty and desperation of the singer's emotions. Despite the constant presence of this person in their thoughts, the singer feels like they are constantly waiting for a sign, a glimmer of hope that their feelings might be returned.
The lyrics also touch upon the loneliness and longing that the singer feels in the presence of this person. They observe that this person is never alone, always surrounded by others, while the singer stands in the background, yearning for their attention. The mention of dancing with this person in dreams and whispering "I love you" highlights the depth of the singer's feelings, even though they know deep down that these dreams will never come true.
The chorus, with its repeated questioning and hopeful longing, captures the essence of unrequited love and the yearning for validation from the object of affection. The singer dreams of looking into the eyes of this person, of being noticed and acknowledged, but also acknowledges the reality of their situation. The song ends with a sense of unresolved longing and the constant waiting for a sign that may never come. Overall, the lyrics of "Know My Name" convey a sense of unfulfilled desire and the bittersweet emotions that come with longing for someone who may never fully see or acknowledge you.
