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 ↴
And it's a strange place to be
I'm gonna break these chains
Unleash the changes in me
I see an endless road
I feel the restless wind
I've lost the fear inside
But to live or die
[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
Alone
Steppin' out into the great
Unknown
And the night's the hardest
Time
When the doubts run through
Your mind
Cause suddenly you find your
Self alone
Suddenly you find yourself
In an empty room
With a suitcase on the floor
It'll be daylight soon
I'm gonna wage my private
War
Who's watchin' over me
Must be a guardian angel
I just need time to breathe
And give my life
The best of me
[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
Steppin' out and then
[Chorus]
Suddenly you're in this fight
Alone
Steppin' out into the great
Unknown
And the night's the hardest
Time
When the doubts run through
Your mind
Cause suddenly you find your
Self alone
Suddenly I found myself
The song "Suddenly" by LeAnn Rimes portrays a feeling of being scared and uncertain but also determined to overcome those fears and take control of one's life. The lyrics talk about Independence Day, a day that symbolizes freedom, and how the singer is embracing that freedom and planning to break the chains that have been holding her back. She talks about feeling restless and lost, but also about losing the fear inside her and realizing she doesn't have a choice but to live or die.
The chorus is catchy and powerful, with the repetition of "suddenly you're in this fight alone" emphasizing the feeling of being isolated and having to face challenges by oneself. The lyrics suggest that this is a turning point for the singer, where she is stepping out into the unknown and taking control of her life. She also acknowledges the struggles that come with taking such a big step, especially during the night when doubts creep in.
In the second half of the song, the singer talks about being alone in an empty room with a suitcase on the floor, suggesting that she has left something or someone behind. She talks about needing time to breathe and give her life the best of her, and how she must have a guardian angel watching over her. The song ends with the repetition of "suddenly I found myself", indicating that the singer has indeed found her independence and is ready to forge ahead.
Overall, "Suddenly" is a song about empowerment, taking risks, and facing fears head-on. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever had doubts about taking the next step.

Stayed there from after the Rock Concert my third ride hitch hiking 🥾 gave me they had tickets 🎟 to Pocono Mountain 🏔 Concert #10 July 8&9,1972 helped remodel five to six homes with my uncle mom’s sister husband till I returned home on Halloween 1972.
3) I traveled all over the East Coast Fairfax Virginia, Essex Md, (Dell&Travis Carnival 🎡) then back to same town in Pennsylvania but had my own apartment and job (Ghost Town in the Glen Moosic Pennsylvania till the security guard got jealous and took over my job on the Go Cart Track in August 1980) then returned home till September when I gave a friend a ride to Miami Florida and I returned to Tampa for 13 months and had three jobs.
