After a slight tilt of her head, a sweet gaze, and a deep breath the singer-songwriter unleashes her soulful and impacting tone, recalling any idea that she’s just another young dream. Although when she speaks she reminds you that she is in fact a young lady full of giggles and eager anticipation. “I smile from ear to ear,” says the New York native when summing up the emotions surrounding her budding music career. “Even with the ups & downs, how many of us really get to live out our dream like this?”

Singing since the age of 3, Claudette dreamed of becoming a performer after watching her mother sing professionally for many years. At 12 she picked up a guitar and began writing songs.

Now signed to Universal Republic, Claudette has seen sharing studio time with the lights of industry veterans such as Rico Love (Usher, Beyoncé, Keri Hilson, Mario, Kelly Rowland), Mario Winans (Diddy, Usher, Mary J. Blige) & many others, aiming for a “soulful, R&B/hip-hop, feel-good” vibe on her debut album, due 2011.

“She’s an amazing talent with a powerful voice and an even more powerful personality,” says Rico Love. “A superstar to say the absolute least.”

“This is what I was born to do,” says Claudette. “I’m in the right place.”

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You′re the one, you're the one
You′re the one, you
You're the one

Need a daily dose, yeah
Like a vitamin (yeah)
Like I'm hooked on it, yeah (yeah)
And when you pull me closer

I lose my common sense (yeah)
Making bad decisions

You give me good loving, then you take it
Leave my body flushed, and I can′t let it go
I just wish that you weren′t so good at it, no, no (no, no)
'Cause I know that you don′t deserve all my good good

Can't stand that
I can′t get enough, I can't get enough of you
Even when I try, you′re always on my mind like glue
Like a boomerang, always coming back to you
Keep coming back, keep coming back

Need that constant fix, yeah
Like an addict
With a habit
I don't want no distance
So I don't trip (so I don′t trip)
Why you holding? (Why you holding?)

You give me good loving, then you take it
Leave my body flushed, and I can′t let it go (go)
I just wish that you weren't so good at it, no, no (no, no)
′Cause I know that you don't deserve all my good good

Can′t stand that
I can't get enough, I can′t get enough of you
Even when I try, you're always on my mind like glue
Like a boomerang, always coming back to you
Keep coming back, keep coming back

You're the one, you′re the one
You′re the one, you
You're the one, you′re the one
You're the one, you
You′re the one, you're the one
You′re the one, you
Mm, I keep coming back (oh)

Can't stand that
I can't get enough, I can′t get enough of you
Even when I try, you′re always on my mind like glue
Like a boomerang, always coming back to you
Keep coming back, keep coming back

You're the one, you′re the one
You're the one, you
You′re the one, you're the one
You′re the one, you
You're the one, you're the one

You′re the one, you
Mm, I keep coming back, keep coming back
