Haddaway's biggest hit, "What Is Love," became very popular across Europe (reaching #2 in the UK), North America and Australia after its 1993 release. Follow-up single "Life" was a big U.S. and European dance hit. His debut album spawned two more European hit singles: "I Miss You" and "Rock My Heart." His 1995 album included two minor hits, but his later releases went by largely unnoticed.
"What Is Love" has been re-mixed and re-released dozens of times. The track had a resurrection in popularity following a prominent role in a Saturday Night Live skit, which later became the 1998 film A Night at the Roxbury.
Haddaway appeared on the Comeback reality television show in Germany in 2003. He appeared on a similar UK show, Hit Me Baby One More Time, in 2005 and subsequently appeared on the U.S. version of the show.
In July 2005, he released a new single called "Spaceman" and album called Pop Splits in Germany where he has a very strong following of fans.
The First Cut Is The Deepest
Haddaway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But there's someone who's torn it apart
And she has taken just all that I have
But if you want, I try to love again
Baby, I try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know
When it comes to be in lucky she's cursed
When it comes to loving me she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I try to love again
Baby, I try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know
The first cut is the deepest
When it comes to be in lucky she's cursed
When it comes to loving me she's worst
I still want you by my side
Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried
And I sure gonna give you a try
And if you want, I try to love again
Baby, I try to love again, but I know
The first cut is the deepest
Baby, I know
