1. A pop rock group from Oklahoma, United States
2. A funk rock group from the United Kingdom active in the 1970's.
1. Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band consists of guitarist and vocalist Isaac Hanson (born November 17, 1980) pianist and vocalist Taylor Hanson (born March 14, 1983), and drummer and vocalist Zac Hanson (born October 22, 1985). Their work has spanned many different genres, including rock, blues, folk, and pop. They are most noted for their Grammy-nominated 1997 hit single, “MMMBop.” Their 1997 album Middle of Nowhere (the band’s third recorded album and first major studio album, also nominated for a Grammy) was met with critical acclaim and went on to achieve multi-platinum status. The group’s subsequent major effort, This Time Around showcased the brothers’ considerable talent and artistic growth, receiving wide critical acclaim for its bluesy/classic-rock and soulful pop harmonies. The album failed to repeat the commercial success of Middle of Nowhere however, only achieving gold status. The album has since been considered a trend-setter and precursor for such acts as Michelle Branch, John Mayer, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Vanessa Carlton and Eisley.
After many promotional and artistic conflicts with Island/Def Jam, Hanson split from the label in 2003 and started their own label, 3CG Records. In 2004, they released their third major studio album, Underneath, independently. The album reached #1 on Billboard’s Independent Album Chart and has since been noted as one of the biggest-selling independent albums of all time. The single “Penny & Me” reached #2 on Billboard’s Top 200. Like This Time Around, Underneath was well-received and well-reviewed for its more mature classic rock/pop sound.
The band continues to have a dedicated fan base and Internet presence, and recently completed a tour of college campuses, showing a documentary, Strong Enough to Break, made about their struggle to form their own label and release Underneath. The documentary http://www.last.fm/music/Hanson was also shown at the Hollywood Film Festival in October 2006.
A live album (The Best of Hanson; Live & Electric), recorded in Melbourne on the Australian leg of the “Underneath: Live & Electric” tour was released in October 2005.
The band released of their fourth major studio album, The Walk in North America on July 24th, 2007. They have released a second documentary, titled Taking The Walk as a continuation of their struggles and successes of writing, recording and producing their own album. After spending some time in Africa, Hanson released a single “Great Divide” for World AIDS Day, with 100% of the download proceeds going to the Perinatal HIV Unit at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, South Africa.
During the making of The Walk, Hanson made a trip to Africa to record some tracks with the African Children's Choir. They were so inspired by their experiences there that they have since teamed up with TOMS Shoes--a california-based company who donates a pair of shoes for each pair sold to a child in poverty who does not have shoes.
In order to raise awareness for this charity and the daily things we take for granted, as well as small and impactful ways to help those in need, Hanson organizes one mile barefoot walks before each of their shows. As of 10/30/08 they have walked a total of 100 miles together with their fans. They are donating $1 for each person who walks with them to one of 5 causes to help children and monthers in Africa battling AIDS and poverty. The fans are invited to organize their own walks and Hanson will also donate a dollar to whatever cause they are walking for. The goal is to Walk around the World and as of 2/4/2009 have walked 19,236 miles and have 5,666 to go.

Hanson released their 5th studio album entitled "Shout It Out" on June 8, 2010. Leading up to this release they performed all of their albums at 5 sold out shows at the Gramercy Theater in New York City.
2. Hanson is a funk rock band formed in 1973 by reggae musician Junior Marvin. The group released two albums - "Now Hear This" (1973) and "Magic Dragon" (1974) before disbanding in 1974.
Coming Back For More
Hanson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That loves it when you're wrong
She devastates me when
She t-t-turns it on
Girl's on fire but
Leaving me out in the cold
It's getting tired
You make me sick
You lead me on
Ooo, you use me up
I keep on holding on
You do the trick
Like the days are long
Girl, you're killing me
But I keep coming back for more
Coming back for more
I know I've been here
A thousand times before
But everytime I think
That this is it for sure
I don't know why
I try to make it work so hard
'Cause she don't mind
So we're right back at the start
You make me sick
You lead me on
Ooo, you use me up
I keep on holding on
You do the trick
Like the days are long
Girl, you're killing me
But I keep coming back for more
Coming back for more
Coming back for more
Coming back
I don't know if we're gonna
Make it or not
But I keep giving it
Everything I got
Oh, yeah, you make me sick
You lead me on
Ooo, you use me up
I keep on holding on
You do the trick
Like the days are long
Girl, you're killing me
Girl, you're killing me
Girl, you're killing me
But I keep coming back for more
Coming back for more
I keep coming back for more
I keep coming back
I keep coming back for more
Coming back for more
Coming back
The song Coming Back For More by Hanson is a catchy tune that carries a message about a dysfunctional relationship. The singer is continuously drawn back to the girl, despite her destructive behavior towards him. The lyrics express his sense of being manipulated and used, and yet he still can't let her go. The girl he's with is the type of person who loves it when he's wrong and always seems to leave him out in the cold. This destructive pattern seems to repeat itself many times before he realizes that it may not work out.
Despite this, he continues to come back for more. The chorus "You make me sick, You lead me on" captures the singer's feelings towards her perfectly. The song showcases the vicious cycle of constantly chasing someone even when they don't have your best interests at heart. The lyrics suggest that no matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to break free of her. This song speaks to the complexities of relationships and the struggles that come with trying to let go of someone who isn't right for you.
In summary, Coming Back For More is a relatable and emotional song that deals with the complexities of relationships, the struggles of letting go, and the vicious cycle of constantly chasing someone who is not good for you.
