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."

Il Divo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hablando solo de ti
Ven y devuélveme al fin
La sonrisa que se fue
Una vez más tocar tu piel
El hondo suspirar
Recuperemos lo que se ha perdido
Regresa a mí
Quiéreme otra vez
Borra el dolor
Que al irte me dio
Cuando te separaste de mí
Dime que sí
Yo no quiero llorar
Regresa a mí
Extraño el amor que se fue
Extraño la dicha también
Quiero que vengas a mí
Y me vuelvas a querer
No puedo más si tú no estás
Tienes que llegar
Mi vida se apaga sin ti a mi lado
Regresa a mí
Quiéreme otra vez
Borra el dolor
Que al irte me dio
Cuando te separaste de mí
Dime que sí
Yo no quiero llorar
Regresa a mí
No me abandones así
Hablando solo de ti
Devuélveme la pasión de tus brazos
Regresa a mí
Quiéreme otra vez
Borra el dolor
Que al irte me dio
Cuando te separaste de mí
Dime que sí
Yo no quiero llorar
Borra el dolor
Que al irte me dio
Cuando te separaste de mí
Dime que sí
Dime que sí
Regresa a mí
Regresa a mí
The lyrics of Il Divo's "Unbreak My Heart" are about the pain of loss and the desire to have a lost love returned. It begins with the plea "don't abandon me like this" and continues with the singer talking about how much he misses his lost love. He asks for her to return his smile that left with her, and he wants to feel her skin and breathe in her presence once again. He wants to recover what has been lost and have the love that they once shared.
The chorus is a plea for her to return to him, to love him again, and to erase the pain that she caused when she left. He tells her that he doesn't want to cry anymore and begs for her to come back to him. He is lost without her and his life is not complete without her by his side. He longs for the love that they once had and wants her to come back to him and love him again.
Overall, the song is a hopeful and romantic plea for a lost lover to return and reignite the flame of love that was once there. It expresses the pain of being separated from someone you love and the desire to have that love returned.
