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".

Madcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the last thing I need
Girl I’m stuck on you
So it’s so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar
That made me stick
When I was sick of the lies
The years, tears, smiles, fights
And now that I left you
I cry through the night
You was quick to slip
The slicker slice
I was surprised how you kept your calm
And every time you admit deceit
We’d hit the sheets
I started livin’ on the bedroom floor
Probably you’s a liar
Yeah, tryin’ to call the car
Try to leave anytime
But a false alarm
Because you the one that did me wrong
Girl you a liar!
Like the beat don’t stop
First let it slide, before I cut in
And suddenly the beat goin’ stomp
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I’m stuck on you
So it’s so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar
(I just wanted the truth)
I said she lied to me
Can’t believe a word she cries
Cuz she lied to me
No need to work things up
Cuz she’s a dyer, a pretty bad liar
But she’s hot too
Making it hard to move that sexy scene
Cuz it’s not true
First I thought I
Never knew a love like this
And this wasn’t a first half order?
First I caught her
Givin’ it a hooch?
In truth, this love worse
Than my first time order.?
Be real, bet ya man don’t lie
That promise’ll give the candle fry?
*** what they say ’bout a man don’t cry
Cuz I know it’s not love proper
I’m gonna die
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
Girl I’m stuck on you
So it’s so hard to set me free
You the first thing I would choose
But the last thing I need
You a liar, liar
I said she lied to me
Can’t believe a word she cries
Cuz she lied to me
No need to work things up
Cuz she’s a dyer, a pretty bad liar
But she’s hot too
Making it hard to move that sexy scene
Cuz it’s not true.
She seemed to be the truth
(Seemed to be the truth)
I bet she cheated on me too
(Cheated on me too)
She really got me good
(Really got me good)
I said she really got me good
(Really got me good)
Hey you the first thing I would choose

The lyrics of Madcon's song "Liar" describe the singer's conflicted feelings towards a lover who has consistently lied to him. He admits that he is "stuck" on her and that she is the first thing he would choose, but the last thing he needs. The singer describes the pain and heartbreak he has experienced as a result of the lies, but is still struggling to tear himself away from her.
The song reflects the complex emotions that can arise in a toxic relationship, as the singer is torn between his feelings of love and his frustration and anger towards his partner's dishonesty. Despite his attempts to move on, he finds himself drawn back in by her charm and attraction, even as he knows that she is not good for him.
Overall, "Liar" is a powerful and raw depiction of the challenges of navigating a troubled relationship, and the emotional toll that dishonesty and betrayal can take on a person.
