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.

Τόσο η λογική τελειώνει
Κι όμωσ το θάρροσ και βρήκα και σε άφησα
Πάντα χαλάω ότι πιάνω
Κι ασ "σ' αγαπάω" κακό σου κάνω
Φύγε μακριά να μη σε φτάσω
Όσεσ βραδιέσ και αν σε ψάξω
Μη σε γυρίσω πίσω
Μάτια μου θα καούμε άμα ξαναβρεθούμε
Κρύψου απο αυτο το πάθοσ
Πεσ ότι ήμουν λάθοσ
Δίπλα μου θα υποφέρεισ κάνε πωσ δεν με ξέρεισ
Άξιζεσ τα καλά του κόσμου
Σ' έχει προδώσει ο ευατόσ
Μου άρρωστεσ νύχτεσ έχεισ ζήσει δίπλα μου
Σε ερωτεύτηκα ωσ το τέρμα
Κι όμωσ σε πλήγωσα και σένα
Πήγαινε ζήσε τη ζωή σου
Μόνο ένα πράγμα απλά θυμήσου
Αν ποτέ σε ρωτήσουνε
Αν το θέμα μου ανοίξουνε
Πεσ πωσ δεν με θυμάσαι
Να αλλάξεισ κατεύθυνση
Αριθμό και διεύθυνση
Να μη σε δω να μη σε βρω ξανά
In "Kripsou," Panagiotis Rafailidis expresses the turmoil and conflict within a relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of madness and irrationality growing as love fades and logic wanes. The singer acknowledges that their own courage led them to leave the person they love, but they also recognize that they often ruin everything they touch. They admit to causing harm even by saying "I love you," and urge their partner to go far away to avoid their destructive presence.
The chorus "Kripsou na mi se sinantiso, mi se giriso piso" translates to "Hide so that I don't meet you, don't turn back to me." The singer wishes to avoid encountering their lover again, knowing that their passion will lead to their destruction. They encourage their partner to hide from this intense passion, to admit that they were a mistake, and to suffer in their absence, pretending they never knew them.
The lyrics also express remorse for the pain caused by the singer's actions. They believe their partner deserves all the good things in the world but has been betrayed by themselves. The singer acknowledges the nights of illness and suffering they have experienced together and confesses to falling in love with them completely. However, despite this love, they admit to causing harm and encourage their partner to live their own life, reminding them to remember only one thing: that they don't know them.
The final verse addresses the possibility of someone asking about the singer. They instruct their partner to say that they don't remember them, to change their direction, phone number, and address, to ensure they never see or find them again. This suggests a desire for complete separation and anonymity, reflecting the pain and regret felt by the singer. The overall message of the song seems to be a plea for the person they love to move on and forget about them, to protect themselves from the destructive force that the singer believes they are.

Όσο η τρέλα μεγαλώνει
As madness grows
Τόσο η λογική τελειώνει
So does logic fade
Κι όμως το θάρρος και βρήκα και σε άφησα
And yet I found the courage and left you
Πάντα χαλάω ότι πιάνω
I always ruin everything I touch
Κι ας 'σ' αγαπάω' κακό σου κάνω
And even if I say 'I love you', I harm you
Φύγε μακριά να μη σε φτάσω
Go far away so I won't reach you
Όσες βραδιές και αν σε ψάξω
No matter how many nights I search for you
Κρύψου να μη σε συναντήσω
Hide so I won't meet you
Μη σε γυρίσω πίσω
Don't turn you back to me
Μάτια μου θα καούμε άμα ξαναβρεθούμε
My eyes will burn if we meet again
Κρύψου από αυτό το πάθος
Hide from this passion
Πες ότι ήμουν λάθος
Say that I was wrong
Δίπλα μου θα υποφέρεις κάνε πως δεν με ξέρεις
You'll suffer next to me, pretend you don't know me
Άξιζες τα καλά του κόσμου
You deserved all the good things in the world
Σ' έχει προδώσει ο εαυτός
You have betrayed yourself
Μου άρρωστες νύχτες έχεις ζήσει δίπλα μου
You have experienced sick nights next to me
Σε ερωτεύτηκα ως το τέρμα
I fell in love with you till the end
Κι όμως σε πλήγωσα και σένα
And yet I hurt you too
Πήγαινε ζήσε τη ζωή σου
Go and live your life
Μόνο ένα πράγμα απλά θυμήσου
Just remember one thing
Αν ποτέ σε ρωτήσουνε
If they ever ask you
Αν το θέμα μου ανοίξουνε
If they bring up the topic of me
Πες πως δεν με θυμάσαι
Say that you don't remember me
Να αλλάξεις κατεύθυνση
To change direction
Αριθμό και διεύθυνση
Number and address
Να μη σε δω, να μη σε βρω ξανά
So I won't see you, so I won't find you again
