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.
Big Night
Peter Andre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuttest? like a raddle snake
No point denying, there's something in the air
Oh, and the sun goes down on the avenue
Taking that day away
And there's gonna be a big night
There's no other way to say it!
The band in backstage smoking cigarettes,
Woman backs makes plans to steal the show
Oh, and everybody here's got something to do
Watch them all welcome by
And it's gonna be a big night
There's no other way to say it!
These lyrics are describing a lively and exciting night out on the town. The song starts off with a reference to sex, and it's clear that the energy is building. The metaphor comparing someone to a rattlesnake is likely meant to suggest that the person is dangerous or unpredictable, adding to the sense of excitement. Despite the potential dangers (or perhaps because of them), there's a feeling of inevitability about the big night to come.
As night descends on the city, people start to come out in full force. The lyrics reference dancing and twirling, as well as the band preparing backstage. It's clear that everyone is dressed up and ready to have a good time. There's a sense of anticipation in the air, as if this is the night that everyone has been waiting for.
Overall, the song seems to be celebrating the thrill of going out and having a wild night. It's a fun and energetic tune that captures the excitement of being young and carefree.
