(1) It was a very popular dance music act from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The act was formed by DJ/remixer/producers Chris Sheppard and Brad Daymond, with Simone Denny on vocals. The Sheppard and Denny combination previously worked together in the Quality Records dance outfit "BKS", an acronym using the surname initials of South African born Hennie Bekker, Greg Kavanaugh and Sheppard. At that time, Daymond was an up & coming remixer/writer who had worked with the Nylons.
The group scored its first major hit on the Canadian pop charts with "Broken Bones", which peaked at #6 in 1998, followed by "You're a Superstar" which peaked at #11 that same year. "You're a Superstar" also became the band's only hit in the United States, where it peaked at #33 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in 1999. The singles "Who Do You Love" and "Homeless" followed in 1999.
In 1999 Daymond left the group to pursue a successful remix and production career with Alex Greggs as "Riprock & Alex G". After Love Inc.'s self-titled album was released, Sheppard and Denny continued as a duo and in 2000 released Into the Night, which included the title track, "Come On (It's Only Love)" and "Here Comes the Sunshine". It would also be their last album. Five singles in total reached the # 1 position on the Canadian Dance Charts published by the now-defunct publications "The Record" and "RPM Magazine".
The group's debut album remains the first and only dance album created domestically in Canada to go platinum (sales over 100,000 units).
Aside the aforementioned Alex Greggs (who with Daymond moved on to work with N Sync and others), Love Inc. were also aided by Frankfurt-based pop dance genius Peter Ries, who co-produced both albums with the band. Other participants included composer Vincent Degiorgio and Germany's Doug Laurent and award winning songwriter/artist Dan Hill.
A few years after their break up, they achieved success overseas when "You're a Superstar" & "Broken Bones" became big hits in the UK and Ireland. "You're a Superstar" spend four weeks at number 7 in the UK Singles Chart in December 2002, and "Broken Bones" reached number 8 in May 2003. "Do Ya (Feel The Love)", co-written with Ms. Denny, was also featured on the initial Queer As Folk soundtrack, released on RCA Victor worldwide.
(2) A former pseudonym of German electronic music producer Wolfgang Voigt (aka Mike Ink), who released several techno singles and an album, "Life's a Gas", under this name between 1991 and 1995.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For tonight and every night, you're a superstar
And don't you be afraid, think of all the friends you've made
Like any other night you've got your name in lights
You're a superstar
In a world that gives everything
Don't you know that it don't mean a thing at all, at all for a superstar?
Don't let them tell you again about life 'cause you know
You're a superstar
Reach for the sky and hold your head up high
For tonight and every night, you're a superstar
And don't you be afraid, think of all the friends you've made
Like any other night you've got your name in lights
You're a superstar
Everything you are today is what you want to be
So don't be someone else when you be the best so easily
If you try and believe, my baby, you'll succeed
And your eyes will make you see
You're a superstar
Reach for the sky and hold your head up high
For tonight and every night, you're a superstar
And don't you be afraid, think of all the friends you've made
Like any other night you've got your name in lights

The song You're A Superstar by Love Inc is a motivational anthem that encourages listeners to aim for the stars and believe in themselves. The lyrics ask them to focus on their strengths, to hold their head up high and to reach for the sky because every night can be their night. The song affirms that all of us can be a superstar, that we can be the best version of ourselves, and that we only need to find our rainbow, our unique path to success.
The first verse talks about the importance of self-confidence and the power of positive thinking. It urges us not to be afraid, but instead to think of all the friends we have made along the way. The second verse warns us against the pitfalls of comparing ourselves to others and how it can lead to a lack of self-worth. It advises us to find our own way, and to let our success speak for itself. The chorus repeats the message that we are all capable of greatness if we only believe in ourselves and our abilities.

This screams out late 90s-early 2000s. Nothing beats this era, probably the last few years of positivity and true happiness...
