Among their best selling songs are smooth ballads such as "The Actor", "Take Me to Your Heart", and "Paint My Love", including many others. Their name is a tribute to pop legend Michael Jackson.

The group was formed in 1988 by singer, songwriter, and keyboard player Jascha Richter (b. 1963) alongside drummer Kare Wanscher (b. 1969), guitarist and producer Mikkel Lentz (b. 1968), and Soren Madsen (b. 1967) in Aarhus, Denmark. The group now consists of three members, with the rest parting ways with Madsen. The group started as a little cafe band, but they soon won the annual talent contest in Aarhus in July 1988. MLTR signed with one of the judges, JP Andersen, as their new manager, and the group got a recording deal with Medley Records, who later became a part of EMI.

MLTR's eponymous first album hit the top 5 of the album charts in both Denmark and Norway, selling tens of thousands of copies over and over again. Since that international debut in September 1991, with 'Michael Learns To Rock' being a sensation, the group has sold more than 12 million legal albums, and it has been performing ever since. Their song catalog continues to be very popular as well, with many singles sold online. Since 'Michael Learns To Rock' came out, they have released 'Colours' (1993), 'Played on Pepper' (1995), 'Nothing to Lose' (1997), 'Michael Learns to Rock - Greatest Hits' (1999), 'Blue Night' (2000), 'Take Me to Your Heart' / 'Michael Learns to Rock' (2004), 'The Best Of Michael Learns To Rock – Live' (2007), and 'Eternity' (2008).

MLTR is one of the most popular bands in their homeland. Thanks to social media such as YouTube and Facebook, MLTR's fan-base continues to grow worldwide. They're unusual for a European group in that they have strong popularity both in Asia (particularly China and India) as well as several Anglo-American nations.

I'm Gonna Be
Michael Learns to Rock Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been so long since we took the time
To share the words
From deep inside us
We're in our own world spinning our wheels
But you know how I feel
Well since the first time I took your hand
My love for you
Has just been growing

You always seem to understand
You know how I am

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna love you 'till the end
I'm gonna be
Your very true friend
I want to share you ups downs
I'm gonna be around

When you're alone 'coz I'm away
Don't be sad
Don't be afraid
I'm gonna turn my thoughts to you
Like I always do

Catch you when you fall
Hold you when you're down
Sharing every moment

It's been so long since we took the time
We haven't connected on a deeper level in a while
