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.
Distance
Peter Andre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not saying it's wrong, but it ain't right
And every time we have a disagreement
It always ends in a fight
That's when I told her
It's getting kind of complicated
I don't think you understand the rules
And find the truth
I gotta go now
Gotta pack my bags and leave you alone now
No more turning back
I gotta go now, everything we've built to last
Is on hold now, so we can look at it
'Cos you know ('cos you know)
It's worth fighting for
And I know (and I know)
That's why I gotta go
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
The honeymoon was perfect, everyday was worth it
The reason I said 'Yeah I do'
But as the time went on, it started to unfold
You're not the person I thought that I knew
That's when I told her
It's getting kind of complicated
I don't think you understand the rules
Thinking maybe we should separate it
And find the truth
I gotta go now
Gotta pack my bags and leave you alone now
No more turning back
I gotta go now, everything we've built to last
Is on hold now, so we can look at it
'Cos you know ('cos you know)
It's worth fighting for
And I know (and I know)
That's why I gotta go
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
Turn away, play it safe, say it was a mistake
Let it go, and say we're through
Or we could start again, make amends,
Take it back where we began
I'm leaving it all up to you
I gotta go now
Gotta pack my bags and leave you alone now
No more turning back
I gotta go now, everything we've built to last
Is on hold now, so we can look at it
'Cos you know ('cos you know)
It's worth fighting for
And I know (and I know)
That's why I gotta go
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
The song ‘Distance’ by Peter Andre is about a marital discord that has transpired between the couple. The lyrics suggest that both are experiencing differences and a lack of harmony in their relationship. They keep having disagreements that lead to conflicts, and they are unable to reach a resolution that is suitable for both. Andre admits that it is complicated and the rules aren’t clear. As a consequence, he thinks that they need to separate and find the truth about their relationship.
The lyrics are emotionally rich and reveal the artist's frustration and sadness as he feels he has to leave the relationship. However, the song ends on a hopeful note when Peter suggests that “distance makes the heart grow fonder.” He believes that by separating and giving each other some space, they may be able to rediscover the love they have lost for each other.
Overall, the song is a poignant representation of the emotional turbulence many couples go through. It depicts the feeling of hopelessness and the realization that the relationship may be coming to an end. It also portrays the willingness to fight for the love they have built together and the hope that distance could help in healing the relationship.

Lately we see things different
Our perspectives have changed recently
Not saying it's wrong, but it ain't right
Our views may not be incorrect, but they also may not be correct
And every time we have a disagreement
Whenever we argue
It always ends in a fight
Our disagreements result in conflict
That's when I told her
At that point, I said to her
It's getting kind of complicated
Our situation is becoming intricate
I don't think you understand the rules
I don't believe you comprehend the guidelines
Thinking maybe we should separate it
I am considering separating our connection
And find the truth
And discover the reality
I gotta go now
I need to leave now
Gotta pack my bags and leave you alone now
I need to pack my bags and leave you by yourself now
No more turning back
There is no more going back on this decision
Everything we've built to last
All that we have created in order to last
Is on hold now, so we can look at it
Is being paused so that we can examine it
'Cos you know ('cos you know)
Because you already know
It's worth fighting for
Our relationship is worth fighting for
And I know (and I know)
I understand for certain
That's why I gotta go
That is why I have to leave
They say distance makes the heart grow fonder
It is said that distance strengthens affection.
The honeymoon was perfect, everyday was worth it
Our initial period was ideal, every single day was prized.
The reason I said 'Yeah I do'
The cause I said 'Yes, I do'
But as the time went on, it started to unfold
But with the passage of time, it started to reveal itself
You're not the person I thought that I knew
You are not the individual I assumed I knew
Turn away, play it safe, say it was a mistake
Ignore it, avoid risk, and admit it was a blunder
Let it go, and say we're through
Let it go and proclaim that we are finished
Or we could start again, make amends,
Alternatively, we could begin again and reconcile
Take it back where we began
Go back to where we first started
I'm leaving it all up to you
I am leaving the decision entirely up to you
