1) Flemming is an Amsterdam-based band, founded in 1997 as Lemming.
In April 1998, the band (originally known as Lemming) released a self-financed debut The Search EP. It consists of five songs, recorded in a cheap and obscure studio in Amsterdam in two days. Mainstream pop critics were positive about the recordings, and Flemming were offered a spot on the main stage of the London Calling festival in Paradiso, Amsterdam in October 1998. Flemming then played at the annual Noorderslag Festival in Groningen. Warner Music offered Flemming a recording contract and preparations for the recording of the first full-length album, to be produced by label mate Tom Pintens of Flemish band Zita Swoon.
Because of legal problems concerning a reunion tour of 1970s horror rock act Lemming, the band name was officially changed to "Flemming". In July 2000, Flemming's official self-titled debut was released. Dutch established pop watchers and critics were positive about the album. Pop magazine LiveXS chose the album as album of the month. The first single released from the album was the song "Name?". The promotional video, in which the band performed the song next to the set of an adult movie, was banned from the Dutch music channel TMF during day time. A censored version did reach day time television.
While promoting their debut album in Dutch live circuit, Flemming also made numerous appearances on Dutch TV and radio during 2000/2001. Programs like 2-metersessies, TMF Café and De Plantage featured TV performances of the band. On the radio Flemming performed on Leidsekade live, BNN Live and Isabelle. In 2001, Flemming played at the Noorderslag Festival once more, and in May 2001 "Starry Night" became the second single from the debut album. The song was orchestrated by Robert Kirby, well known for his work with English singer-songwriter Nick Drake (1948–1974).
2) FLEMMING is a Dutch 24-year-old singer songwriter with an extraordinary voice and a burning ambition. His live shows are energetic.

Now I'm four steps ahead
Cause I know much more now
Since you left me for dead
And you said I'm sorry
But I know you'll do it again, ooh
You don't want to leave me
But you have to trust me
Even though I lied
And I said I'm sorry
But you think I'll do it again, ooh
(Pre-chorus)
If we want this to work
We've got to make it right
And keep this alive
Fight till the morning comes
And when the day's done
We'll be the stronger ones
Ooh come on baby
We'll give it another shot
. Just hold me tight
And look in my eyes
Give it another try
Ooh come on girl
Fight for my love again
Fight for my love again
And I'll fight for your love again
Ooh here we go now
The music slows down
We're still rushing and rushing and rushing
We keep crushing and crushing and crushing
(Pre-chorus)
If we want this to work
We've got to make it right
And keep this alive
Fight till the morning comes
And when the day's done
We'll be the stronger ones
Ooh come on baby
We'll give it another shot
Just hold me tight
And look in my eyes
Give it another try
Ooh come on girl
Fight till the morning comes
And when the day's done
We'll be the stronger ones
Ooh come on baby
We'll give it another shot
Just hold me tight
And look in my eyes
Give it another try
Ooh come on girl
Yeah, we just fight till the morning comes
And when the day's done
We'll be the stronger ones
Ooh come on baby
We'll give it another shot
Just hold me tight
And look in my eyes
Give it another try
Ooh come on girl
Fight for my love again
Fight for my love again
And I'll fight for your love again
The song "Fight for My Love" by Flemming centers around a relationship that has been shattered by infidelity. The singer acknowledges that they were one step closer to losing their significant other but they ended up four steps ahead since they gained a better understanding of what led to their partner's decision to leave. The partner expresses regret but the singer doubts their sincerity, believing that they'll repeat the same behaviour in the future. The singer implores their partner to trust them again, even though they lied before. The pre-chorus emphasizes the effort that will be required to make things work and maintain the relationship.
The chorus of the song is essentially a plea for both parties to fight for their love and give their relationship another chance. The singer wants their partner to hold them tightly and to give it a try again. The repetition of the phrase "Fight for my love again" indicates that the singer is committed to working on the relationship and is asking their partner to do the same. The bridge of the song slows down the tempo to allow the emotions of the moment to sink in. The line "We keep crushing and crushing and crushing" may be a reference to the strain that the relationship has been under.
Overall, "Fight for My Love" is a song about acknowledging the challenges of relationships and making a conscious effort to overcome them. The song encourages both parties to put in the necessary work to maintain and strengthen their bond, even when the going gets tough.

I was one step closer
I thought we were making progress in our relationship
Now I'm four steps ahead
But because you left me, I've learned and grown more than I ever would have with you
Cause I know much more now
I have a better understanding of myself and what I need from a partner
Since you left me for dead
After you left me feeling emotionally abandoned, I had to pick myself up and move on
And you said I'm sorry
Even though you hurt me, you apologized
But I know you'll do it again, ooh
But I don't trust that you won't hurt me again
You don't want to leave me
You still care about me
And I want you by my side
And I still want us to be together
But you have to trust me
But for that to work, you need to trust me
Even though I lied
Even though I've made mistakes in the past
And I said I'm sorry
And I've apologized for those mistakes
But you think I'll do it again, ooh
But you're scared I'll make the same mistakes again
If we want this to work
If we want our relationship to succeed
We've got to make it right
We need to fix what's broken
And keep this alive
And keep our love strong and growing
Fight till the morning comes
We need to fight for our love, no matter how long it takes
And when the day's done
We'll keep fighting even when it gets hard or we get tired
We'll be the stronger ones
Because our love will have overcome any obstacle
Ooh come on baby
Come on, let's make this work
We'll give it another shot
Let's try again
Just hold me tight
Hold me close
And look in my eyes
And let's connect and be honest with each other
Give it another try
Let's not give up on our love
Yeah, we just fight till the morning comes
We need to keep fighting for our love, no matter how long it takes
And I'll fight for your love again
And I'll keep fighting for your love, no matter what
