Rimes emerged with her first single, "Blue," when she was just thirteen years old in 1996. She is most recognized for her crossover hit "How Do I Live" which, according to the Billboard charts, is one of the most successful songs in American music history, spending 69 weeks on the Hot 100 chart, which currently stands as the second longest run in the chart's history (behind Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours"). While country singer Trisha Yearwood's version of the song won a Grammy in 1998, Rimes' version outsold Yearwood's by millions of copies. Rimes' other notable songs include "Can't Fight the Moonlight" and "You're the right kind of wrong" (from the movie Coyote Ugly) and American Idol favorite "I Need You."
She has won an American Music Award, two Grammy Awards, three Academy of Country Music Awards, and four Billboard Music Awards.
Rimes was chosen to sing the theme song "Light the Fire Within" for the February 8, 2002, Opening Ceremony of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
On February 23, 2002, she married Dean Sheremet, a dancer whom she met while recording Twisted Angel. They currently live in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2005, LeAnn was selected to become the new host of the USA Network reality tv series Nashville Star, a position she held for only one season. She also was selected to sing "Remember When," the official song for Disneyland's 50th anniversary celebration.
On January 25, 2005, Rimes released a new album called This Woman. Although it has been met with mixed reviews, This Woman is a comeback of sorts for Rimes. With sales over 600,000, this is Rimes best-selling album since her self-titled album in 1999. In terms of the singles released, this is her most successful album since her debut nearly 10 years ago. "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense" reached the Top 5 and became her biggest years on the country charts in years. "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way," a song about a woman trying to get over a lost love, was released as a single. The video for "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" was very dark, and the song was received well in the country music world. When "Something's Gotta Give" reached the #2 spot in June 2006, it became her biggest country hit since "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)", her sole number one hit 10 years ago.
Rimes co-wrote four songs off This Woman: "Something's Gotta Give," "I Got It Bad," "When This Woman Loves a Man," and "Afraid to Fall."
"I Got it Bad" was co-written with her husband Dean Sheremet.
On Saturday, September 3, 2005, Rimes performed a concert, on a three-hour special on Larry King Live, as a benefit for those affected in the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina. As a Mississippian, she said that Hurricane Katrina "hit close to home." Just days before the hurricane, she had performed in Biloxi, Mississippi.
On January 4, 2006, Rimes performed the National Anthem before the Rose Bowl championship game between the USC Trojans and the Texas Longhorns in Pasadena, California.
On June 6, 2006, LeAnn released a new album in Europe called Whatever We Wanna.
The new album presents a pop-oriented sound; the first single released was "And It Feels Like." The album did not receive a US release.
In March 2009, LeAnn became the first country crossover artist to top the Billboard Club Play list when remixes for "What I Cannot Change" topped this dance chart. Prior to LeAnn's accomplishment, the highest charting song by a country artist on this dance survey had been the #2 peak of Reba McEntire's remixed remake of "You Keep Me Hangin' On."

LeAnn Rimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My mind's filled with a thousand thoughts of you
And how you left without a warning
But looking back I'm sure you tried to talk it through
Now I see it clearly
We're together but living separate lives
Baby I can't find the words
But if I could, then you know I would, yeah
No I won't let you go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life, crashing down on me
Guess I had it all, right there before my eyes
Girl, I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind
You carried me like a river
How far we've come still surprises me
And now I look in the mirror
Staring back is the man
I used to be
With you
How I long for you
No I won't let you go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life, crashing down on me
Guess I had it all, right there before my eyes
Girl, I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind
Girl I'm sorry I was wrong
Could have been there
Should have been so strong
So I'm sorry, wooh
No I won't let you go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life, crashing down on me
Guess I had it all, right there before my eyes
Girl, I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind
No I won't let you go, know what we can be
I won't watch my life, crashing down on me
Guess I had it all, right there before my eyes
Girl, I'm sorry now, you were the last thing on my mind

However, now the singer realizes that her lover might have tried to communicate and sort things out with her, but she was too caught up in her own thoughts.
As the singer continues to ponder over the past, she acknowledges the fact that although she is physically present with her lover, they are living separate lives. She wants to apologize to her lover but can't find the words. However, the singer is ready to do anything to keep her lover with her because she won't let her go. She acknowledges that she had a good thing going on with her lover but failed to see it at the time. Now she regrets it as her lover was the last thing on her mind.
The singer ends the song by apologizing to her lover and acknowledging that she was wrong. She could have been there for her lover and been stronger. However, now the singer is ready to fight for their love and not let go of what they can be.
