They have collaborated with a variety of artists in Norway, but did first receive real commercial recognition for their work with their partners from Paperboys. The track Barcelona from Paperboys feat. Madcon was a massive hit in Norway - Barcelona won the prize for most requested video of the year from Nordic channel ZTV, and was an important factor in Paperboys winning "Spellemannprisen". (Norwegian equivalent to the Grammys).
Tshawe and Yosef were hosts of a tv-show called "The Voice of Madcon". The show aired Monday to Thursday from 10 PM to 11 PM on the Norwegian music channel "The Voice". The show features small-talk, music videos and interviews.
Madcon released their first single "God Forgive Me" in 2000 (Virgin Records), but the first commercial breakthrough was with long time collaborators Paperboys with the hit single "Barcelona" in 2002 (Bonnier Amigo).
In 2004, Madcon released their first official album "It's All A Madcon" (AA-Recordings/Bonnier Amigo), which won them a Norwegian Grammy and several other awards.
In 2005 Madcon became TV personalities on the Nordic music channel The Voice, while growing with their music in the studio. The show "The Voice of Madcon" became a huge success for both Madcon and the network, showcasing the behind the scenes life of the popular group.
In late 2007 Tshawe was invited to join the popular Norwegian version of Dancing With The Stars, and was the final winner.
Their second album, entitled So Dark The Con Of Man, was released on December 3, 2007. In the UK, released on RCA, the album charted on UK Albums Chart at #137.[2] In Norway, the album was certified gold in 3 hours, and platinum in 3 days. The album featured soul singer Noora Noor and Paperboys on two of the songs.
In 2008, Madcon released a cover of a 1968 Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons song, Beggin', that earned the group several #1 chart positions in Europe (including France, Portugal, Norway and Russia), and an overall #2 position on the European Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also achieved 7 x platinum status in Norway, becoming one of the biggest hits of all time in the Norwegian charts[citation needed].
Madcon's cover of Beggin' was produced by 3Elementz, who also produced the other singles from "So Dark The Con Of Man", as well as all of the tracks on the "InCONvenient Truth" album.
They performed at World Music Awards on November 10, 2008, where they also won the World's Best Selling Norwegian Artist Award.
After several negotiations Madcon's label (Bonnier Amigo) signed a licensing agreement with SonyBMG for Central Europe, the UK, Australia and New Zealand, with Universal Republic for the US, with Warner Music for Spain, and with Just Music for South Africa.
Madcon hosted the Norwegian version of Don't Forget the Lyrics!, Kan du teksten?, on TV 2 (Norway).
Their album "InCONvenient Truth" was released all over Europe early to mid-2009, and the group had set their sights on the other major territories to release including the US, Japan and Australia in 2009.
Their song "Glow", which is produced by the production team ELEMENT , was the background of the "Eurovision 2010 flashmob dance" music video which was aired at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 interval act, and to manys surprise, it went on to receive more fame than the winning song of the competition.
Mdcon got their own reality show on Norwegian TV 2 winter 2013 "Madcons gale verden" (The mad world of Madcon). At the same time they released their single "In my head".

Got A Little Drunk
Madcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found out that you were cheating on me
And when we broke up
I was happy to watch you leave
And find another lover
I thought I wouldn't care then last that weekend when I saw you
I saw you standing there
Just a little liquid courage got me wishing
Now my friends tell me I shouldn't go out drinking
But there's nothing I can do, party now
Got a little drunk last night
And I don't know what I said to you
Got a little drunk last night
At 4am I started texting you
All the shots I kept on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got a little drunk last night
All the shots I keep on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got little drunk last night
They told me that time would heal it
Said "nothing I can't deal with"
But still recall the feeling of how we used to be
I'm good in life and though you ain't
The one I 'pposed to be with
And one thing is to know but it's another thing to see
Spotted you with your man out, added a couple of drinks
Put me into my feelings and spat out a couple things
Probably outta place but at least it was fucking honest
Nothing more I relate to than hearing my brother say
And I thought that it was over, but it isn't
Just a little liquid courage got me wishing
Now my friends tell me I shouldn't go out drinking
But there's nothing I can do, party now
Got a little drunk last night
And I don't know what I said to you
Got a little drunk last night
At 4am I started texting you
All the shots I kept on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got a little drunk last night
All the shots I keep on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got a little drunk last night
I don't know what I said to you
When I know I meant it
No, I know that I said the truth
You know I meant it
Got a little drunk last night
And I don't know what I said to you
Got a little drunk last night
At 4am I started texting you
All the shots I kept on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got a little drunk last night
All the shots I kept on drinking
And it really got me thinking
Thinking about you and I
So I got a little drunk last night
Got a little drunk last night
The lyrics to Madcon's "Got a Little Drunk" tell the story of a person who has recently broken up with their cheating partner. At first, they are happy to be rid of them, but after seeing their ex with someone else, they realize they still have feelings.
The person then goes out drinking and gets intoxicated, leading to them texting their ex at 4am. The shots they kept on drinking make them think about their relationship and reflect on what could have been. Despite their friends telling them not to drink, they can't help but party.
The lyrics capture the inner thoughts of someone who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. Even though they know they shouldn't reach out to their ex, they can't help but let the alcohol convince them otherwise. The song is a relatable tale of heartbreak and the struggle to let go.
Line by Line Meaning
When we broke up
After our relationship ended
Found out that you were cheating on me
I discovered that you were unfaithful to me
And when we broke up
At the time of our breakup
I was happy to watch you leave
I was pleased to see you go
And find another lover
And be with someone else
I thought I wouldn't care then last that weekend when I saw you
I believed I wouldn't feel anything until I saw you last weekend
I saw you standing there
I noticed you were present
And I thought that it was over, but it isn't
I believed our relationship was finished, but it's not
Just a little liquid courage got me wishing
Alcohol gave me bravery and made me want something
Now my friends tell me I shouldn't go out drinking
My friends advise me not to drink and go out
But there's nothing I can do, party now
But I can't resist, let's party now
Got a little drunk last night
I got slightly intoxicated last night
And I don't know what I said to you
I am unsure of what I told you
At 4am I started texting you
I began to send you messages at 4 in the morning
All the shots I kept on drinking
Each drink I consumed
And it really got me thinking
This truly made me contemplate
Thinking about you and I
Reflecting on our past relationship
So I got a little drunk last night
So I drank a little too much last night
They told me that time would heal it
People advised me that time would mend my heartache
Said "nothing I can't deal with"
They said I could handle anything
But still recall the feeling of how we used to be
But I still remember how we were
I'm good in life and though you ain't
I'm doing well, but you're not
The one I 'pposed to be with
The person I should be with
And one thing is to know but it's another thing to see
It's one thing to understand, but another to witness
Spotted you with your man out, added a couple of drinks
Saw you outside with your partner and had a few more drinks
Put me into my feelings and spat out a couple things
Made me emotional and I said a few words impulsively
Probably outta place but at least it was fucking honest
Maybe it was inappropriate, but it was truthful
Nothing more I relate to than hearing my brother say
Nothing resonates more with me than hearing my brother speak
I don't know what I said to you
I am clueless about what I told you
When I know I meant it
But I know I intended it
No, I know that I said the truth
No, I am aware that I spoke the truth
