In 1996, the band started as a studio-project of 3 young, talented producers: Regi Penxten, Ivo Donckers & Filip Vandueren and released an EP on the underground label of Dance Opera.

In 1997, the song La Vache reaching #21 in UK (although completely unnoticed in their homeland Belgium), started it all. Because of the huge success of this song in France, the French label Hottracks of Scorpio Music released the song under the group name "La Vache", so people could remember it. The vocals were done by Jade 4 U (aka Nikkie Van Lierop). In October 1997, the single Free Your Mind followed.

In February 1998, and still under the name "La Vache" and with the new vocalist Ann Vervoort, the single Inside Of Me was released followed by the album Apocalypse Cow in March and the huge hit In My Eyes in December. "In My Eyes" climbed the Belgian charts quickly and reached #2 though it did not find any success in France and it was the last release in France for Milk Inc. At this point, the band name were changed to be "Milk Inc.".

In April 1999, in Belgium, the single Promise was released and reached #3 on the Belgian charts. The Belgian version of the album Apocalypse Cow came out in May, more than a year later than the French release.

In April 2000, the new single Walk On Water was released and reached #1 on the Belgian charts. In September, Ann Vervoort left Milk Inc. to start her own record label. She was replaced by Linda Mertens. In November, the album Land Of The Living was released. The first single was Livin' a Lie.

In 2001, Never Again was the next single to be released (reached #17 on the Belgian charts). The follow up was named Wide Awake (reached #2 on the Belgian charts).

In 2002, the next song was named Sleepwalker(reached #6 on the Belgian charts). The follow-up was entitled Breathe Without You and it was out on October (reached #7 on the Belgian charts).

In May 2003, their new single called Time was out (reached #10 on the Belgian charts). In August, they announced they would make a cover of a song from The Sun Always Shines On TV. The videoclip was shot in France on the 14th September (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). In October, their brand new album Closer was released. It contained 14 songs including I Don't Care; a duet between Linda and Silvy de Bie (from Sylver). Blown Away was the only instrumental song on this album. Regi appeared for the first time on a Milk Inc. song singing a ballad with Linda in the last track Maybe. In November, Milk Inc. performed in Poland.

In 2004, the new single from Milk Inc. was I Don't Care. The video was shot at Club Atmoz at Hasselt. The new single jumped to #3 in the Belgian charts at the end of March. The follow-up was entitled Whisper, and in October it peaked to #1 in Belgium. The same month, Milk Inc. released their first DVD in Australia. It contained 18 videos, as well as an acoustic set of 5 songs (I Don't Care, Oceans, Walk On Water, Don't Cry and Maybe, recorded especially for this occasion) and a few extras.

In May 2005, Milk Inc's new single was entitled Blind (reached #5 on the Belgian charts). The video was recorded on the 14th of April. It peaked up to #5 in Belgium. In September, Regi released a solo single entitled No Music. It went directly #16 in the Belgian charts. The following month, Go To Hell was released (reached #4 on the Belgian charts).

In May 2006, the new single Tainted Love (a cover version of the famous hit) was released (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The fourth album Supersized was out in September. It was called after the mega-concert at the Sportpaleis in Antwerp. It included the hit songs Whisper, Blind, Go To Hell, Tainted Love, and 8 brand new songs + 1 bonus song. The next single was Run (reached #7 on the Belgian charts). The next Milk Inc. single was No Angel. The video clip was shot live during Milk Inc. Supersized concert.

In 2007, they earned a golden record for their album Supersized. Milk Inc left their former records company to enter ARS. Their new single Sunrise was out on the 22nd of June. Milk Inc.'s latest single Tonight is still charting very well. It peaked at #6 so far.

Milk Inc. effectively ceased to exist around the mid 2010s.

Milk Inc. Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a fact
That you've got me
Spinning around, spinning round
And it's a fact
That your love
Lifts me up above the ground
It's too good to be true
But is this really you

I can't shake the addiction
Is it fact or is it fiction

Can't believe what I feel
Can't believe that is real
Is it my imagination
My imagination
Can't believe what I feel
Can't believe that is real
Is it truth or is it fiction
Truth or is it fiction

It's a fact
That you've got me
Flying high, flying high
It's a fact
That your love
Slathers rainbows through my sky
It's too good to be true
But is this really you
I can't shake the addiction
Is it fact or is it fiction

I should see through you
See you're just a fabrication

I should see through you
A figment of my imagination

Overall Meaning

The Milk Inc. song "Fiction" speaks to the feeling of being so caught up in someone or something that it seems too good to be true. The lyrics repeat the phrase "It's a fact" several times, drawing attention to the overwhelming feeling of certainty that the singer experiences when they are with the person they are addressing. Yet, at the same time, there is an element of uncertainty and doubt - the singer wonders if what they are feeling is just a figment of their imagination, a "fiction" they have created in their mind.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of resistance to fully accepting or believing the reality of the situation. The singer can't "shake the addiction" of being with this person and feeling so uplifted and cared for, but simultaneously questions whether it's real or just fiction. This theme of juxtaposing certainty with doubt runs throughout the entire track, as the singer grapples with the intensity of their emotions and tries to make sense of it all.

All in all, "Fiction" is a powerful exploration of the complexities of human emotion and the way that we often struggle to reconcile what we feel with what we think we know to be true. It's a song that invites the listener to reflect on their own experiences of love, uncertainty, and the struggle to differentiate fact from fiction in our own lives.

It's a fact
There is no denying it

That you've got me
You have captured my heart and mind

Spinning around, spinning round
I am dizzy with excitement

And it's a fact
There is no denying it

That your love
The care and affection you give

Lifts me up above the ground
It makes me feel alive like never before

It's too good to be true
It seems too perfect to be real

But is this really you
I question if you are truly genuine

I can't shake the addiction
I am unable to let go of this feeling

Is it fact or is it fiction
I wonder if this is reality or just something in my head

Can't believe what I feel
I am in awe of this emotion
