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.

Peter Andre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll be your defender.
When the days are dark,
And the nights are only getting longer
When you've lost your heart,
And it seems the opposition is getting stronger
And the enemy calls you name.
I'll take a fight,
I'll never leave your side.
So baby don't sleep on me.
I Know you've met a lot of guys with super egos,
But I'm going to save your heart like a super hero.
Yes I'm, Gonna protect you,
Never leave your side, I'll be here to protect you.
They can say what they want, they can all surround me,
But I'm gonna save your front(from?) like a military army.
No I'm, not a pretender
I'm here for you, I'll be your defender.
Baby don't sleep on me,
Let me give you everything that you need. ( oh wooah )
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
And every time your world comes crashing down.
If you need a shoulder baby I'm around for ya
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
Your under attack and it seems your tired of fighting
The memories of your past
Keep you scared of love and hiding
Don't push me away
Because I need cause I never ever tried to harm ya
And I'm gonna fight a battle my way there
Like a knight in shining armor
Yes I've met a lot of girls
Been a lot of places
But your the type of girl I'm never replacing
Yes I'm, gonna protect ya
Never leave your side, I'll be here to protect you.
Dangers around while your under attack babe
I'm a hold you down, as I've got your back baby
Your mine.
I'm not a pretender.
I'm here for you.
I'm your defender.
Baby don't sleep on me,
Let me give you everything that you need. ( oh wooah )
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
And every time your world comes crashing down.
If you need a shoulder baby I'm around
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
I know your hearts in pain
But baby let me in
As the world let you down again
But you don't have to be afraid no more ( no more )
Because I'm right here
I've been waiting my whole life to save you tonight ( Nooo Ohwooa)
Baby don't sleep on me,
Let me give you everything that you need. ( oh wooah )
I'll be your defender, I be I be I'll be your defender.
And every time your world comes crashing down.
If you need a shoulder baby I'm around for ya

Baby don't sleep on me,
Let me give you everything that you need. ( oh wooah )

I cant understand why radio stations refuse to play this. It's stupid, he's a great father ... a great singer/songwriter and more or less every girl over britain loves him (inlcuding me by the way). Its stupid. He's just one guy who wants the best for his kids. ILOVEYOU PETER ANDRE! xx
@xbecxxx
It's a shame stars like Nadine Coyle and Peter Andre aren't being played on the Radio. At least they both bother to sing live unlike a lot of stars who just mime all the time.
