Following the split of Steps in December 2001, the pair formed a duo and released their debut single "DJ" on WEA Records in May 2002. Peaking at #1 on various club charts, the single debuted and peaked on the UK Singles chart at #3, spending one week in the Top 10. Their second single, "Half A Heart" followed in August 2002, peaking and debuting at #8 on the UK Singles chart, though it dropped to #29 in its second week of release and fell from the chart the following week. Their third and final single release, "All Out Of Love / Beauty & The Beast" was released in November 2002 and peaked at #10, spending 3 weeks on the UK Top 40.
Their debut album, "Another You Another Me", followed. However, it peaked at a low #58 in the UK, and WEA Records soon dropped the pair, leading them to go their separate ways in 2003.
For a short period around the time "DJ" was released, H & Claire presented the ITV Saturday Morning children's show SMTV Live.
All I Want Is You
H & Claire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a river to the ocean
Love keeps bringing me back to you
An irresistible emotion
I can't deny the truth
'cause I searched far and wide
Until I realised, yeah I knew
All I want is you
I've had a change of heart
I know that I was wrong
And now there's an emptiness
That lingers on and on
'cause even after all this time
You're the one thing on my mind
I try to run away but there's no escape
My heart could never lie cos...
Chorus
Now some people spend their lives
Searching for the one
Suddenly I realised the crazy thing I'd done
'cause you were standing right beside me
But like a fool I could not see
Now I need search no more
This time I feel so sure
That you're everything I need
Chorus
All I want is to love you baby
All I want is to love you yeah
All I want is to love you baby
Chorus
Like a river to the ocean
Love keeps bringing me back to you
And irresistible emotion
I can't deny the truth
All I want is you

I am sure I heard this on heart radio around 7pm last night, but it sounded more like an australian, or south african solo female voice, the only lyrics I got from the chorus were ,all I want is you.
