Singing became a significant part of his life by chance; a close friend - a singer herself - convinced Panagiotis to participate in the singing competition Eurostar, whose winner is selected to represent the country in the 2004 Eurovision song contest. Ραφαηλίδης secured the fourth position, which gave him a boost to make the next step in the singing career. He immediately got proposed to perform with singer Γιάννης Πλούταρχος; and then came his first contract with a big record label, Minos EMI.
During the winter of 2004-05 he appeared on a show with Χάρις Αλεξίου and Ελευθερία Αρβανιτάκη. His debut album released by Minos EMI is entitled Θέλω να μάθω and is based on modern soungs and rhythms. It includes a variety of musical styles such as pop, rock, ballads, and the Greek popular style, "laika". The composer and singer Λάκης Παπαδόπουλος was responsible for Ραφαηλίδης' first single hit, "Θέλω να μάθω", whose video clip was directed by White Room.

Χάνομαι μεσ' τα φιλιά σου
Βουτάω μεθυσμένοσ στο κύμα σου
Στην άγρια τη θάλασσά σου
Έλα σου λέω
Μα δε θέλω να 'ρθεισ
Φύγε σου λέω
Αντίο σου λέω κι όλο φεύγω
Μα πίσω σε σένα ξανάρχομαι
Γελώντασ μου λεσ δε σε θέλω
Κι εγώ σαν παιδάκι να ψάχνομαι
Δε βρίσκω για σένα ένα αντίδοτο
Να πάρω και να σε ξεχάσω
Τη ζωή μου έχεισ κάνει ποδήλατο
Και τρέμω ξανά μη σε χάσω
Έλα σου λέω
Μα δε θέλω να 'ρθεισ
Φύγε σου λέω
Μα πεθαίνω όταν φεύγεισ
Δεν ξέρω τι κάνω
Δεν ξέρω τι θέλω
Για σένα πεθαίνω
The lyrics to Panagiotis Rafailidis's song "Gia Sena Petheno" (translated as "I Die for You") capture the intense emotions and conflicting desires in a tumultuous relationship. The singer finds themselves repeatedly ensnared in their lover's trap, losing themselves in the passionate kisses and surrendering intoxicated to the waves of their love. Despite this, they push their lover away, begging them to leave, but also acknowledging that they feel a sense of despair and agony every time they actually do.
The singer constantly finds themselves drawn back to their lover, even though they insist on saying goodbye and leaving. They laugh and tell their lover that they don't want them, yet they themselves feel like a lost child, searching and yearning for them. The singer feels helpless and unable to find an antidote to their feelings, unable to forget their lover. They describe how their lover has turned their life into a rollercoaster, making them tremble at the thought of losing them once again.
In the final lines, the singer admits their confusion and uncertainty. They don't know what they're doing or what they truly want, but they confess that they are willing to die for their lover.

Γλιστράω ξανά στην παγίδα σου
I fall into your trap once again
Χάνομαι μεσ' τα φιλιά σου
I lose myself in your kisses
Βουτάω μεθυσμένος στο κύμα σου
I dive intoxicated into your waves
Στην άγρια τη θάλασσά σου
In your wild ocean
Έλα σου λέω
I say to you to come
Μα δε θέλω να 'ρθεισ
But I don't want you to come
Φύγε σου λέω
I tell you to leave
Μα πεθαίνω όταν φεύγεισ
But I die when you leave
Αντίο σου λέω κι όλο φεύγω
I say goodbye to you and keep leaving
Μα πίσω σε σένα ξανάρχομαι
But I keep coming back to you
Γελώντασ μου λεσ δε σε θέλω
You laugh and tell me I don't want you
Κι εγώ σαν παιδάκι να ψάχνομαι
And I, like a child, keep searching
Δε βρίσκω για σένα ένα αντίδοτο
I can't find an antidote for you
Να πάρω και να σε ξεχάσω
To take and forget you
Τη ζωή μου έχεισ κάνει ποδήλατο
You have turned my life into a bicycle
Και τρέμω ξανά μη σε χάσω
And I tremble again at the thought of losing you
Δεν ξέρω τι κάνω
I don't know what I am doing
Δεν ξέρω τι θέλω
I don't know what I want
Για σένα πεθαίνω
I'm dying for you
