Originally planning to pursue a career in animation as a teenager, Lewis instead decided to focus on music. His father was a member of the musical group Crack of Dawn. Lewis has cited Stevie Wonder as his biggest inspiration, and Glenn has often been compared to him because of their similarities in their tones. Glenn singing first garnered attention when he won a high-school talent contest by covering Wonder's "I Just Called to Say I Love You".

After high school, Glenn began recording demos and performing at nightclubs, eventually becoming a respected act in Toronto. He parlayed this success into the release of his first single, "The Thing To Do," in 1998 on Beat Factory/BMG. The song won him a Juno Award for Best R&B Recording. His second single, "Bout Your Love," earned him a Juno nomination.

This exposure eventually landed him a deal with Epic Records. Glenn's debut album, World Outside My Window, was released on March 19, 2002. Fueled by the hit single "Don't You Forget It," the album peaked at #4 on the Billboard charts. He promoted the album by touring with R&B singers Alicia Keys and Tweet, among others.

In 2002, Lewis recorded a cover version of "Superstition" for the tribute album, Conception: An Interpretation of Stevie Wonder's Songs. Glenn also makes a brief appearance in the 2002 film Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. He contributed the song "Fall Again" to the film's soundtrack. A concert DVD, Glenn Lewis Live, was released in 2003.

Glenn prepared his sophomore album, Back For More for release in 2003. The first single, also titled "Back For More," and featuring rapper Kardinal Offishall, was released to radio and a video began to air. Unexplicably, the album was pushed back, first to later in the year, then to 2004. It remains unreleased. In the meantime, Glenn netted a Grammy nomination for his contribution to Stanley Clarke's "Where Is The Love", a duet also featuring Amel Larrieux.

Glenn left Epic Records in 2005, and is currently signed to Underdog Entertainment. According to Glenn's MySpace page, a new album, Remember Me, will see release in the spring of 2007.

Back For More
Glenn Lewis Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you think the partys over
Look over your shoulder
Well be coming back for more

I know I might seem weird
One day I'm around, the next I disappear
This is a crazy act
But I won't think I'm kissing you till that's a fact

Cause always, ever after and more

[Chorus]
When you think the party's over
Look over your shoulder
I'm at your door, coming back for more
Dancing in the moonlight
Till the break of daylight
Like we did before
Well be coming back for more

Were on a one-way ride
And all I need is someone like you by my side
You saw the movie too
Well ride into the sunset like they always do
For all days, all nights
Ill hurt some more

[Chorus]

Well be coming back for more
If I'm still number one
The one you're looking for
I won't be gone for long
No, Ill be back for more

[Chorus: Repeats]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Glenn Lewis's song "Back For More" depict a lover who is constantly returning to the object of their affection after the party ends. The opening lines indicate that the party seems to be over, but that the lover will not be deterred by this fact. They will return despite any obstacles and continue to pursue the object of their desire. The second verse further elaborates on the lover's erratic behavior, acknowledging that it may seem strange but reassuring the object of their affection that they will not commit to physical intimacy until they are sure of their feelings. The chorus is a repetition of these sentiments, emphasizing the lover's persistence in their pursuit.

The overall message of the song seems to be that the lover is determined to win their beloved's heart, and will not be put off by rejection or the appearance of disinterest. Their love is unwavering and persistent, and they will continue to come back for more until they finally win the object of their affection. This could be interpreted as a message about the power of love to overcome obstacles, or as a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsessive behavior in relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

When you think the party's over
You believe the good times have ended

Look over your shoulder
Be watchful; things may not be as they seem

I'm at your door, coming back for more
I want to continue having a good time with you

Dancing in the moonlight
We're having a great time and free from worry

Till the break of daylight
Until the early morning hours

Like we did before
Just like old times

We'll be coming back for more
We want to continue the fun

We're on a one-way ride
Life is finite

And all I need is someone like you by my side
You complete me

You saw the movie too
You know how this ends

We'll ride into the sunset like they always do
Our future is optimistic

For all days, all nights
Forever and always

I'll hurt some more
I'll keep wanting you

If I'm still number one
If you still prioritize me

The one you're looking for
The one you love and desire

I won't be gone for long
I will come back soon
