Martin Solveig then moved to another famous Paris nightclub Les Bains Douches where he worked with famous DJs such as Todd Terry, Roger Sanchez and Bob Sinclar. His popularity further increased with the Pure parties at the Queen Club either as a DJ or as an art director.
He started producing at an early stage of his career. Through his own Mixture label, he released two 12-inch singles, "Heart of Africa" and "Come With Me". These singles combined dance music with musicians playing traditional instruments. Bob Sinclar then asked him to join the Africanism project combining African music and electronic music. He later released the "Edony" single which received airplay worldwide.
In 2002, he released the album Sur La Terre, which contains both "Heart of Africa" and "Edony". The album was released internationally through Universal Music. Another notable track on the album is "Linda" where he plays tribute to Fela Kuti and Serge Gainsbourg. The album was released in 2004 in the US. In 2003, he worked with Salif Keita on "Madan" which made the charts across Europe, notably France, Italy and Greece. "Rocking Music", which features a punk rock guitar riff (and also known for having Justin Timberlake style vocals), has also made the top 40 in Australia in February 2004. "Madan" and "Rocking Music" have both been featured in his second album, Suite. Following singles included "I'm A Good Man", and "Everybody".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could take you undercover, on the run, baby
The night is young
Now can I be your plus (plus, plus), be your plus one?
Can I be your plus one?
I could be your plus one
I'll be everything if you let me in
All you got to say, you got that triple-A
And I'm on my way (if you tell me)
Can I be your plus one?
I could be your plus plus
Ooh, baby
Ever feel you're naughty for the fun, baby?
I could take you undercover, on the run, baby
The night is young
You and me on the run, can I be your plus one?
Ooh, baby, would you play my song?
Show me the ropes, I know you're second to none
I know how far you've come
Now can I be your plus, your plus, be your plus one?
One, one, one
Can I be your plus one?
I'll be everything, everything if you let me in
(Can I be your plus?)
Can I be your plus one? (Plus, plus, plus)
Can I be your plus one?
Can I be your plus one?
You and me, on the run
One, one
One, one
One, one
Ooh, baby, would you play my song?
Can I be your plus one?
I can be your plus one
