Natasha's single "Unwritten" was featured in the movie "The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants" and many different television adverts. It also served as theme song for the hit MTV reality series "The Hills."
Natasha has just released her second album, N.B. and the lead single is the hit, I Wanna Have Your Babies.
Her latest offering ‘Say It Again', the third single to be taken from her critically acclaimed chart topping second album 'N.B', is no exception to this rule. Natasha Bedingfield co-wrote ‘Say It Again’ with Adam Levine (Maroon 5), and co-produced it with Mike Ellizondo (Dr Dre, Alanis Morisette). An uplifting song about falling for that elusive one, 'Say It Again' is reflective yet upbeat, and romantic without being saccharine sweet.
Natasha regularly contributes to YouTube as "uknatashabedingfield".
Another song that has gotten international acclaim is pocketful of sunshine. DSTV has used it for promoting their station.

Everyday I fight for all my future somethings
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
That's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'll be alright
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that
I don't need a microphone, yeah
To say what I've been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
That's always on eleven
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If you strip me, what would you find
If you strip me, strip it all away
I'm still the same
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that
'Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
Makes you think about, think about it doesn't it
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that
Take what you want steal my pride
Build me up or cut me down to size
Shut me out but I'll just scream
I'm only one voice in a million
But you ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
You ain't taking that
The song "Strip Me" by Natasha Bedingfield is a song about self-empowerment and being true to oneself. The song's opening lines describe the singer's struggle to balance the many demands of life and the constant battles she faces in pursuit of her dreams. She acknowledges that she could "spend a lifetime earning things [she] don't need," but instead chooses to focus on what is truly important to her.
The chorus of the song, which repeats throughout, encourages listeners to remove all superficial layers of the singer's identity and discover what lies beneath. Despite any attempts to tear her down or strip away her pride and identity, the singer states that she will still be the same person beneath it all.
The final verse of the song emphasizes the importance of using one's voice to make a difference and stand up for what one believes in. The singer declares that even if she is only one voice in a million, no one can take her voice or her beliefs away from her.
In summary, "Strip Me" is a powerful anthem about remaining true to oneself in the face of adversity and empowering oneself to speak out against injustice.
Line by Line Meaning
Everyday I fight for all my future somethings
I battle daily for all the future goals and aspirations that I hope to achieve
A thousand little wars I have to choose between
There are numerous small conflicts that I must decide between on a regular basis
I could spend a lifetime earning things I don't need
I can easily waste my whole life acquiring things that are unnecessary
That's like chasing rainbows and coming home empty
Trying to achieve such things is similar to pursuing an unrealistic and unattainable goal
And if you strip me, strip it all away
If everything is taken away from me,
If you strip me, what would you find
What would be left behind?
If you strip me, strip it all away
If everything is taken away from me,
I'll be alright
I will still be okay
Take what you want steal my pride
You can take anything and try to take away my dignity
Build me up or cut me down to size
You can either help me or bring me down to my knees
Shut me out but I'll just scream
Even if you try to silence me, I will still speak up and make noise
I'm only one voice in a million
I might be just one person among many others
But you ain't taking that from me (oh, oh)
But you cannot take away my spirit or my inner voice
I don't need a microphone, yeah
I do not require a microphone to let my voice be heard
To say what I've been thinking
To express what I have been pondering on
My heart is like a loudspeaker
My emotions are so powerful they can be heard by all
That's always on eleven
It is always on maximum volume (an allusion to the volume knob on an amplifier going up to eleven)
'Cause when it all boils down at the end of the day
In the end,
It's what you do and say that makes you who you are
It is your actions and words that define your identity
Makes you think about, think about it doesn't it
It makes you reflect and consider, doesn't it?
Sometimes all it takes is one voice
Sometimes just one person speaking up can make a big difference
You ain't taking that
You cannot take that away

This song is the perfect example of the saying "Never judge a book by it's cover." Seeing the title of this song you would just think it is another song about sex that is so "popular" lately but, once you listen to it you find out that it is actually about being strong<33 I never though a song named "strip me" could be so beautiful

She just seems so happy and energetic all the time. I think she's a great role model for everyone and always positive while not letting her guard down.

Natasha Bedingfield: all I listened to as a child, and who I will always come running back to as I grow up. Thanks Natasha for opening my eyes to what's important, and inspiring me to be unique, real, and passionate about what I believe in. And also giving me confidence. I love you. :)
