The idea behind this quartet's creation came to Simon Cowell after listening to Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman's rendition of "Con Te Partirò." He realized he loved lyrical voices but not opera, so he decided to form a multinational quartet (France, Switzerland, Spain, and United States) that sounded like The Three Tenors but sang pop songs and looked like handsome Armani models.
With this idea, Cowell commenced a worldwide search for young singers who were willing to embark on the Il Divo project. His search lasted two years, from 2001 until December 2003, when the fourth member of Il Divo, American tenor David Miller, was signed. The well-established formation of Il Divo comprises a renowned Spanish opera and zarzuela baritone, Carlos Marín, a French pop singer, Sébastien Izambard, and two classically trained tenors, Swiss Urs Bühler and American David Miller. Recording of their first album started in the first half of 2004 in Sweden.
The group's debut album, the self-named Il Divo, contains renditions of Frank Sinatra's hit "My Way (A Mi Manera)," Toni Braxton's hit "Unbreak My Heart (Regresa a Mi)," an adaptation of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack titled "Gabriel's Oboe" from the movie La Misión titled "Nella Fantasia" and several songs sung in Spanish, English, Italian, and Portuguese ("Volta Pra Mim"), including 1994's San Remo Festival winner "Passerà."
Il Divo hit the #1 slot on both Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com after a breakout career-defining appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show on April 5, 2005, where the quartet performed its interpretation of "Unbreak My Heart."
In the United Kingdom, the Il Divo album topped Robbie Williams as number 1 in the UK charts (allegedly Williams said to them during the Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason film premiere, "Oi, you're the bastards that knocked me off!"). This multiplatinum-selling CD became number one in the charts in a total of 13 countries around the world, and achieved top 5 placing in 25 countries.
Il Divo's second album, Ancora, was recorded in both Sweden and London with world-renowned recording giants Per Magnusson and David Kreuger and producer Steve Mac, who was also the producer of their first album. Released on November 7, 2005 in the UK, it hit number one both in the UK and Australia within one week. Ancora was released in the US on January 24, 2006. It entered the Billboard albums chart at number 1, selling more than 150,000 copies during its first week of sales.
Highlights on Ancora include "Isabel," "I Believe In You," a duet with Céline Dion, and Il Divo's cover of Eric Carmen's "All By Myself (Solo Otra Vez)." Two of the tracks on this CD, "O Holy Night" and "Ave Maria," appear on the 2005 US-only release, Christmas Collection.
Il Divo was the perfomer of the 2006 FIFA World Cup official song "A Time of Our Lives."

A restless road
No turning back
One day you
Will find your light again

"I Believe In You" by Il Divo is an inspiring song about never giving up on oneself, despite feeling lost and alone. The song starts with the singer feeling lonely and lost, walking down a restless road with no turning back. However, the lyrics also suggest that there is still hope, and that one day they will find their light again. The song urges the singer not to let go, to be strong, and to follow their heart, letting love lead them through the darkness towards a place they once knew. The chorus repeats the phrase "I believe in you," emphasizing the power of self-belief and the ability to achieve anything if one has faith in themselves.
The French section of the song follows the same theme as the English lyrics, encouraging the singer to pursue their quest without looking back, to follow their star and reach their dreams. The song speaks of a flame inside that should not be extinguished, reminding the singer that there is always something special inside of them that they should hold on to.
"I Believe In You" is a message of hope and inspiration, urging its listeners to never give up on themselves and to always believe in their abilities. It is a reminder that even when everything seems lost, there is always light at the end of the tunnel; one must simply keep moving forward and never let go of their dreams.

Carlos Marín hermosa voz
quisiera cuando haya de partir,
sea tú voz,la que me guíe
al más allá.
Por qué estás ahí
con tu sonrisa, tú voz
que llega al alma.
Cada día se te recuerda,
cada día se escucha tú voz,
cada día se sufre tú partida
una partida tan temprana.
