The two have collaborated together since 1993 under a variety of names, including Axis, Hitch Hiker & Jacques Dumondt, and Mike Stone & Steve Heller, and have scored major club hits internationally, including a remake of John Paul Young's "Love Is In The Air", with vocals re-recorded by Young in 2001.
It wasn't until 2004, however, that they would score their biggest hit in the United States when "Let The Sunshine In," an Ibiza-inspired remake of the Fifth Dimension's #1 hit from 1969, "Aquarius/Let The Sunshine In" and featured the vocals of British singer Lizzy Pattinson, went all the way to #1 on Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. The song also gave Radikal Records its first ever #1 as a label on the charts.
Tell Me Why
Milk & Sugar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Promises you don't keep
Turn into lies
Don't try to remedy
To easy my mind
'Cuz you keep hurting me a million times
Why, why
You're hurting me
The lyrics to Milk & Sugar's song Tell Me Why lament the pain and hurt caused by someone who repeatedly fails to keep their promises and make good on their apologies. The singer expresses frustration at hearing the apologies "a million times," only to have them turn into lies. They plead with the person to stop trying to "remedy" the situation, as it only makes it worse, and ask why they continue to hurt them.
There is a sense of desperation and sadness in the lyrics, as the singer seems to be reaching their breaking point. The repetitive use of "million times" emphasizes the weight of the hurt and betrayal they are feeling. The chorus serves as a direct plea for answers - "why, why, tell me why" - as the singer tries to make sense of the pain they are experiencing.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the emotional toll that broken promises and repeated hurtful behavior can take on someone, and the importance of accountability and genuine attempts at repair.

Heard ur apologies a million times,

I'm addicted to this song ... I project myself into a club, wet, dancing and dancing again, in the most erotic way ever. Projection I said.
