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."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me, will I ever be the one
To take my hands off the wheel and let it slide?
Seems like I've always been the one
That can't sit back and just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
Blowin' through the fast lane
And I gotta chase the high
Whoa, I can't shake it
Need to break it
Lookin' for light on rainy days
Need it so much, so many ways
Constantly throwing myself in a bind
Whoa, I got no time to hesitate
I want it now, why should I wait?
I've tried but I just can't be satisfied
You're satisfied
If you give me everything I want
I still would try to take a little more of you
Oh, yeah
Feels like I'm on a countdown
But I'm gonna burn out if I don't change my point of view
Ooh, what have I gotta do?
Oh, I can't shake it
Need to break it
I'm lookin' for light on rainy days
Need it so much, so many ways
Constantly throwing myself in a bind (can't be satisfied)
Whoa, I got no time to hesitate
I want it now, why should I wait?
I've tried but I just can't be satisfied
What is it like on a peaceful day?
Just to have you stay
And watch the world fade away?
What is it like to just slow down?
Surrender to the sound
Of nothing else around?
Lookin' for light on rainy days
Need it so much, so many ways
Constantly throwing myself in a bind
Whoa, I got no time to hesitate
I want it now, why should I wait?
I've tried but I just can't be, oh
Lookin' for light on rainy days (lookin' for light)
Need it so much, so many ways (oh)
Constantly throwing myself in a bind (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I got no time to hesitate (oh)
I want it now, why should I wait? ( Why should I wait?)
Tried but I just can't be satisfied
You're satisfied
Satisfied
The song "Satisfied" by LeAnn Rimes is a contemplation on the constant search for fulfillment and satisfaction in life. The singer of the song seems to be struggling with her inability to enjoy the present moment, always chasing after something more and living life in the fast lane. She wonders if she will ever be able to let go and just be happy with what she has already achieved.
In the chorus, the singer is looking for some kind of solace, some light on rainy days, and an escape from the constant chase. She acknowledges that she cannot be satisfied, no matter how much she tries, and that she doesn't have time to hesitate in her pursuit of satisfaction. However, in the bridge, she ponders what it would be like to slow down and surrender to the present moment, to experience true peace and satisfaction without the need to chase after anything.
Overall, "Satisfied" is a reflection on the human tendency to always want more, to constantly strive for something better, and the struggle to find contentment in the present moment.

Tell me, will I ever be the one

Surrender to the sound
To let go and simply experience the present moment
Of nothing else around?
Without any distractions or concerns
Be satisfied
To experience contentment with what one has
Satisfied!
To find true happiness

on I Need You
I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da), ooh
Ooh
You're the hope that moves me
To courage again, oh yeah
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you
Ooh, yes I do, oh
I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, yes I do (dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
Oh, ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
Ooh-ooh (dada, dada, da)
I need you, oh (dada, dada, da)
(Dada, dada, da)
I need you (dada, dada, da)
