1/ Mero was a British musical duo founded in 1999 by Simon Cowell. It was axed a few months later, as Cowell and RCA Records gave the girl band Girl Thing, priority over Mero.
Their lead singer, D-Mac (real name Derek McDonald), wrote Mero's only hit, "It Must Be Love", at the age of fifteen, although he was seventeen at the time of Mero's short period of fame. The other band member was Tommy Clark. "It Must Be Love" peaked at #33 in the UK Singles Chart in March 2000.

2/ Enes Meral (born 28 July 2000), better known by his stage name Mero, is a German-Turkish rapper. He rose to prominence in 2018 on Instagram and his debut single "Baller los", which debuted at the top of the German and Austrian single charts. His follow-up singles "Hobby Hobby" and "Wolke 10" also topped the German and Austrian charts. In 2019, he was featured in the hits "Ferrari" by Eno and in "Kein Plan" by Loredana both topping the German chart. Mero has released three albums: Ya Hero Ya Mero and Unikat in 2019 and Seele in 2020.

Mero Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lass' alles so steh'n (ja-ja-ja)
Ich flieg' um die Welt, fühle mich wie im Rollercoaster
No Controller, bestimme mich selbst
Jahre vergeh'n (ja-ja-ja)
Der Wag war nicht leicht bis hierhin, ich war oft am Ende
Durchgekämpft, deine Scheine klaute Geld (ey)

Brother, fünfhundert Riesen (heh)

Ich tippe fünfhundert Riesen (Racks)
Mein Broski zieht nicht ab, wenn stress ist, das sind Blockprinzipien
Ah, mein Prada-Outfit mich ein'n Zehner gekostet (Zehn)
Ich red' von tausenden Euros, Pico, du hoffst noch, dass wir broke sind (Tzz)
Blessings, blessings (blessed), ist nicht selbstverständlich
So zu leben, all das hätt ich ohne meine Fans nicht
Paar Brothers von mir im Gefängnis
Ich hoffe, dass alle bald rauskommen
One-Way-Ticket nach Istanbul
Laufe auch drüben als Star rum
Ich war ein No-Name
Kalte Tage waren nur vor mei'm Rappen
Mit all den Jungs auf Turkeys, blaue Bänke (Bänke, ey)
Eine Eisteeflasche kaufen wir zu fünft
Wir waren glücklich, damit hatte keiner von uns ein Problem
Ich frag' mich: „Wie wär's, wenn ich nicht so verdient hätt'?“
Du siehst die Vorderseite, Broski, glaub mir, es gibt ein Reverse
Broski, glaub mir, es gibt ein Reverse (Heh)

Lass' alles so steh'n (ja-ja-ja)
Ich flieg' um die Welt, fühle mich wie im Rollercoaster
No Controller, bestimme mich selbst
Jahre vergeh'n (ja-ja-ja)
Der Weg war nicht leicht bis hierhin, ich war oft am Ende
Durchgekämpft, deine Scheine kalute Geld

Ich frag' mich: „Wie wär's, wenn ich nicht so verdient hätt'?“
Du siehst die Vorderseite, Broski, glaub mir, es gibt ein Reverse

E-E.M. Beats ist der Shit, ah
