French had been a session singer for many years before she covered "Total Eclipse Of The Heart", a song made famous by Bonnie Tyler. Her single was first released in 1994 in the United Kingdom. When it was re-released in 1995 the song reached no. 5 during a 3 month chart run, selling over 5 million copies in the process and earning a silver sales award and well as becoming her record lable 'Love This' biggest chart success.
This was followed by even more successful chart run in the United States, where the track reached no. 2 and spent 6 months on the Billboard Hot 100 music charts. The single also reached number 1 in seven countries - Australia, Japan, Canada, Israel, Spain, Hong Kong and Brazil, as well as charting in Sweden, Ireland, Germany, Italy, Mexico, The Netherlands, Denmark and Norway. She went onto win a record breaking 3 awards at the 'Dance Music Rasberry Authority Magazine Awards' in the USA - Single Of The Year (Total Eclipse Of The Heart), Newcomer and Female Vocalist Of The Year.
Nicki represented the United Kingdom at the EuroVision Song Contest in 2000 with "Don't Play That Song Again" which finished in 16th position.
Stop In The Name Of Love
Nicki French Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Each time you leave my door
I watch you walk down the street
Knowing your other love you'll meet
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me all alone and hurt
Think it over (haven't i been good to you?)
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I known of your, your secluded nights
I've even seen her maybe once or twice
But is her sweet expression
Worth more then my love and affection?
But this time before you leave my arms
And rush off to her charm
Think it over (haven't i been good to you?)
Think it over (haven't i been sweet to you?)
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
Hoping you would stop this infactuation
But each time you are together
I'm so afraid of losing you forever
But this time before you run to her
Leaving me all alone and hurt
Think it over (haven't i been good to you?)
Think it over (haven't i been sweet to you?)
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Stop in the name of love
Before you break my heart
Think it over
Think it over
The lyrics to Nicki French's "Stop In The Name Of Love" tell the story of a woman who knows her partner is cheating on her, but is pleading with him to think about their relationship before leaving her again for his other love interest. The chorus emphasizes this plea, urging him to stop and think about his actions before he breaks her heart. The verses give insight into the woman's experiences, as she has seen her partner walking down the street to meet his other love interest and has even seen her once or twice. Despite this knowledge, she considers whether her love and affection for him is worth more than her partner's infatuation with this other person. She even admits to being afraid of losing him forever but asks him to think it over before destroying what they have built together.
The tone of the song is desperate and emotional, highlighting the heartbreak the woman is experiencing. The urgency in her voice during the chorus conveys the importance of the moment, as she tries to save their relationship before it's too late. The repetition of "Think it over" emphasizes the need for the partner to take a step back and evaluate their actions before causing long-lasting damage.
Overall, the lyrics to "Stop In The Name Of Love" highlight the turmoil of relationships and the importance of communication and honesty. It speaks to the heartbreak of loving someone who may not love you back, and the importance of standing up for oneself in the face of infidelity.

Baby baby i'm aware of where you go
I know where you go when you leave me
Each time you leave my door
Every time you leave me
I watch you walk down the street
I see you walk away from me
Knowing your other love you'll meet
Knowing you'll meet your other love

Before you rush to her
Leaving me all alone and hurt
Leaving me alone and in pain

I've known of your, your secluded nights
I know you spend nights away from me
I've even seen her maybe once or twice
I have seen the other woman before
But is her sweet expression
But is her warm expression
Worth more then my love and affection?
Better than my love and care?
But this time before you leave my arms
Before you walk away from me
And rush off to her charm
And hurry to her attraction
I've tried so hard, hard to be patient
I have tried very hard to be patient
Hoping you would stop this infactuation
Hoping you would end this infatuation
But each time you are together
But every time you are with her
I'm so afraid of losing you forever
I'm scared of losing you forever
