Raven and Larsen come from Lørenskog in the district east of Oslo. They had known each other since the age of five. Discovered by the Norwegian music producers Kenneth M. Lewis and Kai Robøle, the girls were signed to Atlantic Records in 1998. The name "M2M" was chosen from a contest held for fans to give a name to the band, having been previously known as Marion & Marit. The group's first single, "Don't Say You Love Me", appeared in 1999, and was featured on the soundtrack of Pokémon: The First Movie (albeit with a small edit to the lyrics). The film helped the song to reach success worldwide, including peaking at No. 16 in the UK Singles Chart, their only hit in the UK. The duo released their first album "Shades of Purple" in 2000. It debuted at number one in Norway and several Asian countries, entering the Top 40 for most other countries. In September that year, they toured with Hanson, performing as the boys' opening act. Earlier in the year, they performed a concert special at Epcot in Walt Disney World, broadcast on April 29, 2000, under the name "M2M and BBMak in Concert", performing six songs with breaks in between of them walking around the park.
Four more singles were released from the album: "Mirror Mirror", "The Day You Went Away", "Pretty Boy" and "Everything You Do". They enjoyed some popularity in Asia; releasing a song sung in Mandarin, "Pretty Boy". However they did not record a Mandarin version of their hit "The Day You Went Away", and Taiwanese singer Cyndi Wang recorded her own version.
In 2002, the duo returned with a more mature, less pop-oriented sound with their second album, "The Big Room". In two years, their voices had changed, particularly Raven's. The first single from the album was "Everything" followed by "What You Do About Me". They did not release a third single, even though "Don't" was released to U.S. and Latin America's radio stations and "Wanna Be Where You Are" was released in the Philippines. The promotion for their second record included TV appearances that year, including a spot on the WB's Dawson's Creek, appearing in the 100th episode of the show towards the end of its fifth year. That year, they also took part in the Pantene Pro-Voice concert series that aired on the now defunct MuchMusic USA. While on tour with Jewel, M2M was dropped by Atlantic Records, who cited a lack of record sales, although the album did do well in Norway, Asia and Australia.
Despite The Big Room being critically acclaimed, it was not as commercially successful as their first album. M2M saw its record company support wane. As a result of disappointing record sales, M2M was pulled in the middle of Jewel's This Way tour. Shortly after, M2M disbanded. Marion Raven was immediately signed to a solo record contract. Marit Larsen went to finish high school.
In 2005, Marion Raven debuted three songs on NRK. In support of her new solo record, she later toured Japan, Latin America, and Europe. The album was released in Asia, Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, Australia and in Latin America including Mexico, being particularly successful in Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia and Singapore.
In 2006, Marit Larsen performed live on NRK radio. Her debut solo album, "Under the Surface" went platinum in Norway.
Both singers are currently performing as solo artists, going by their own names.
Everything You Do
M2M Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ever since you called my name
You've been everything that I've seen
And know I'm caught up in this game
My mind is spinning round and around
There's something special I have found
Every time I close my eyes
Oh baby can't you see
That everything you do
Everything that you do
Makes me want to go
Everything you say
Everything that you say
Makes me want to go
They're trying to build a fence
By saying that this won't last
They tell me I don't have a chance
That everything moves too fast
But every time I close my eyes
All I can think of is you and me
Oh baby can't you see
That everything you do
Everything that you do
Makes me want to go
Everything you say
Everything that you say
Makes me want to go
That everything you do
Everything that you do
Makes me want to go
Everything you say
Everything that you say
Makes me want to go
My mind is spinning round and around
There's something special I have found
Every time I close my eyes
All I can think of is you and me
Oh baby can't you see
That everything you do
Everything you do
Everything you do
Everything you say
Everything that you say
That everything you do
Everything that you do
Makes me want to go
Everything you say
Everything that you say
Makes me want to go
That everything you do
Everything that you do
Makes me want to go
Everything you say
Everything that you say
Makes me want to go
The lyrics to the M2M song “Everything You Do” describe the rush of emotions and feelings that come with falling in love. The singer tells us how they are caught up in a game of love, with the person they love being the center of their attention. The lyrics indicate that this love may be a bit unconventional and not supported by others (the building of a fence by others), yet despite this, the singer is unable to stop thinking about the person they love.
The repetition of the lines “everything you do” and “everything you say” emphasizes the intensity of the emotional connection and attraction the singer feels towards their love interest. The lyrics portray a feeling of euphoria and being carried away with the love and everything connected to it. The verses show what people do to discourage the love, including noting that adjustments such as making fences may not work, and everyone who tries fails. The chorus is about the pull towards continuing the love despite the expected fail due to "everything you do" and "everything you say."
Overall, the song conveys the theme that intense love can feel like a thrilling game, with every word, every movement of the person you love making your heart race and eager to continue.
