The band's act consisted of singing operatic versions of contemporary songs, including "Bohemian Rhapsody", "Creep" and "Everybody Hurts", and arrangements of popular operatic pieces, such as "Nessun Dorma", and "La donna è mobile".
Naturally gifted performers who were formally trained at the Guildhall School of Music, G4 originally met as a busking group who sang live across London to earn money and experience. Jon saw an advert for the X-Factor auditions and applied on a whim. They delivered great performances and wowed a captivated audience week after week, and the rest is history.
Following a spectacular rise to fame, their hugely successful debut album " G4" entered the UK album charts at Number 1, selling an amazing 245,000 in its first week alone. It has since been certified double platinum and has now sold in excess of 700,000 copies.
No Matter What
G4 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No matter what they tell us
No matter what they do
No matter what they teach us
What we believe is true
No matter what they call us
No matter where they take us
We'll find our own way back
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know I'll love forever
I know, no matter what
If only tears were laughter
If only night was day
If only prayers were answered
Then we would hear God say
Chorus
And I will keep you safe and strong
And shelter from the storm
No matter where it's barren
A dream is being born
No matter who they follow
No matter where they lead
No matter how they judge us
I'll be everyone you need
No matter if the sun don't shine
Or if the skies are blue
No matter what the end is
My life began with you
I can't deny what I believe
I can't be what I'm not
I know, I know
I know this love's forever
That's all that matters now
No matter what
The lyrics of G4 feat. Stephen Gately's song "No Matter What" are about the unwavering bond between two individuals, who have an unbreakable love that no one can challenge. This love that they share is steadfast and does not alter, no matter what anyone tells or teaches them. Through the ups and downs of life, they will find their own way back to each other, and they will not be deterred by those who call them names, attack them, or lead them down different paths.
The chorus's repetition reinforces the message that it does not matter what happens to them, what other people say, or how they are judged. They believe in their love, and it is the foundation on which they stand, and nothing can shake them. The song acknowledges that life may not always go as planned, and sometimes tears will fall, but they hope for joy, and if prayers were answered, they would surely hear God say that their love is true.
In the end, the singer promises to protect and support their loved one, and no matter if the sun does not shine or if the skies are blue, their life began with their partner. The song ends by reaffirming the belief that their love is forever, and that love is all that matters.

By listening this song, I remember the time when I left high school, I think around that time was I listened to this song for the first time. So this song brings again the memory of that time. That time was such memorable for me: parting with high school friends and leaving my home town for higher education. The time was quite intense, with hope and dreams and all on my horizon. Late teenage years when I am still foolish and naive. I wish I was wiser and had more confident back then.

Just put all my G4 albums on the laptop, forgot this was on it, and now I'm more upset than I've been in days.
