Her modest success was ultimatley short-lived, but her biggest hit, "Don't Wanna Fall in Love", has found enduring status thanks to the Shep Pettibone remix which is often considered as one of the early '90s best Popular House records. Child is currently working on a new album, having been largely unsuccessful with obscure Japanese projects and movie soundtracks throughout the 1990s.
Jane Child resurfaced in the 2001 with her third album, "Surge." It included two single, "Almost Beautiful" and "Nice Day." While the album did not gain attention from the mainstream, it was touted as a welcome return by her supporters. While it was stated her fourth album was complete, there has yet to be a date set for its release.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never shake my faith, I know, I know what it means
No books, no magic words, we don't need a ritual
Absolute truth, it's so personal
Now I understand
Now I know it's true
Now I know it's me
You are
You're my religion now
You're my religion
You and I remain, we're one in the same
No flesh, no blood can change
No more doubt or fear, your mouth to my ear
Use me, flow through me, I am listening
Sing through me, let the song be pure
I know why I'm here, I've been here before
I know how it ends, it never ends
Now I understand
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's true
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's me
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's you
(Heaven and hell)
You are
(My religion now)
You're my religion now
(My religion now)
You're my religion
(My religion now)
You and I remain, we're one in the same
No flesh, no blood can change
No more doubt or fear, your mouth to my ear
My religion now
In my native tongue I can call your name
Any name, what's in a name, I'd love you just the same
Thou art God, all the evidence I need
Never shake my faith, I know what it means
Now I understand
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's true
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's me
(Heaven and hell)
Now I know it's you
(Heaven and hell)
You are

The lyrics of Jane Child's song "You're My Religion Now" express a personal connection with a higher power that supersedes any traditional religious beliefs or practices. The song suggests that the person she is addressing represents the singer's new religion, and that their bond is unbreakable. The idea of worshiping a person may seem unconventional, but the theme of the song is about finding a deep, meaningful connection that provides comfort and guidance throughout life.
In the first verse, the singer declares that the person they are addressing is God to them, and that they don't need any external evidence or elaborate rituals to confirm their faith. Their connection is deeply personal and absolute. In the second verse, the singer expresses an understanding and acceptance of both heaven and hell, as if the relationship they have with this person will transcend life and death. The repetition of the line "now I understand, now I know it's true, now I know it's me, now I know it's you" emphasizes the deeply personal nature of their connection and the sense of enlightenment that comes along with it.
Overall, the song suggests that spirituality and religion can take many forms, and that what matters most is finding a connection that brings peace, joy, and fulfillment. It challenges traditional beliefs and practices, while celebrating the beauty of a bond that transcends human boundaries.
