He later achieved a great deal of notoriety through reality-TV appearances and his highly publicized marriage with model Katie Price. However, after the couple split in 2009, he re-emerged with a successful album, "Revelation," which reached No. 3 in the UK charts and earned him some credibility.

André was discovered on Australia's Talent Show "New Faces" in 1990 after performing numerous Bobby Brown hits.

In 1992, André's singles "Drive Me Crazy" and "Gimme Little Sign" were released. In 1993, a self-titled album charted well in Australia and the hit singles "Funky Junky," "Let's Get It On," "Do You Wanna Dance" and "To the Top" all hit the Australian Top 50 charts. In 1993, "Gimme a Little Sign" picked up an ARIA Award as the highest selling single of the year.

André is perhaps best known for his second UK hit, "Mysterious Girl" which reached No. 2 in 1996, and hit No. 1 when re-released in 2004 following an appearance on "I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here!" He previously had topped the UK charts with "Flava" and "I Feel You," both in 1996.

His success dried up somewhat when André attempted to make the transformation between teen-pop heartthrob and mature R&B singer with mixed results.

In 1998 he released a UK Top 10 version of "Kiss The Girl" from Disney's "The Little Mermaid" before being dropped from his record label and disappearing from the public eye. This was until his "I'm A Celebrity" appearance in 2004, which led to his third No. 1 and spawned the No. 3 UK hit "Insania." He reportedly wrote the song while filming the reality show, which featured Price. The public witnessed the relationship grow between the two, which turned them into tabloid staples.

André and Price were married and had a son, Junior, in 2005, and a daughter, Princess Tiaamii, in 2007. The couple released an album of duets, "A Whole New World," which reached No. 20 on the British charts in 2006.

News broke on 11 May 2009 that André and Price had separated after three and a half years of marriage. André said on the British TV show "This Morning" that there is little chance the couple will reconcile.

After The Love
Peter Andre Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I tried to write a song and, it started with a verse
To explain how I'm feeling, but couldn't find the words
Been trying so hard for so long
But I can't find a way out this place that I'm in
You don't know how I'm feeling, 'coz baby if you did
You wouldn't turn your back and, say we should call it quits
'Coz I'm still trying to hold on
But I can't find out this place we're in

'Coz we both (we both know), that it's time (to let go)
So why do I just keep holding on?
And if you still care, you still would be there
After the love's dead and gone

So call the DJ baby turn the radio on
After the love's dead and gone
Hit the replay button on your favorite song
After the love's dead and gone

Now we're in the same predicament, that we said we'd never be
Back here again as we're breaking our hearts
With endless fights & arguments, baby this just isn't me
And you've seemed to change now we're falling apart

'Coz we both (we both know), that it's time (to let go)

So why do I just keep holding on?
And if you still care, you still would be there
After the love's dead and gone

So call the DJ baby turn the radio on
After the love's dead and gone
Hit the replay button on your favorite song
After the love's dead and gone

No matter where you go
You'll always be a part of me no matter the distance
A thousand miles or more
You'll always be a part of me no matter the distance
And if the sun don't shine (baby through the rain)
You know your heart's still mine
And now the clouds are grey (baby through the rain)
We'll slowly drift away

So call the DJ baby turn the radio on
After the love's dead and gone

Hit the replay button on your favorite song
After the love's dead and gone

To explain how I'm feeling, but couldn't find the words
To describe my emotions was the intention, but I could not locate the proper expressions

Been trying so hard for so long
Persistently endeavoring for an extended period

But I can't find a way out this place that I'm in
I am unable to locate a path out of this difficult predicament

You don't know how I'm feeling, 'coz baby if you did
You do not comprehend the depth of my sentiments, because if you did

You wouldn't turn your back and, say we should call it quits
You would not abandon our relationship and suggest ending it

'Coz I'm still trying to hold on
I am endeavoring to maintain the relationship

But I can't find out this place we're in
Nonetheless, I cannot discover how to improve our current situation

'Coz we both (we both know), that it's time (to let go)
We both comprehend that the time has come to release each other

So why do I just keep holding on?
However, why do I struggle to relinquish it?

Back here again as we're breaking our hearts
Return to this moment as we shatter our hearts

With endless fights & arguments, baby this just isn't me
With numerous disputes and controversies, this is not what I am like

And you've seemed to change now we're falling apart
Moreover, it appears as if you have transformed, and now we are separating

No matter where you go
Regardless of your whereabouts

You'll always be a part of me no matter the distance
You will always be an essential element of me, no matter the gap

A thousand miles or more
Even if separated by a distance of a thousand miles or more

And if the sun don't shine (baby through the rain)
Even if there is no sunshine (my dear, through the rain)

You know your heart's still mine
You recognize that your heart still belongs to me

And now the clouds are grey (baby through the rain)
Currently, it is cloudy (my dear, through the rain)

We'll slowly drift away
We will slowly distance ourselves
