Raffaëla (birthname: Raffaëla Paton) is the winner of the Dutch version of American Idol ('Idols') season 3.
Raffaëla was controversial since the start of the show, since she stated to be in love with judge Henk-Jan Smits. In a later show she reavealed it was a joke and 'Idols' didn't show the footage of her saying so.
At the liveshows, she revealed to be pregnant, which infuriated judge Henk-Jan. This didn't hold her back, and eventually she beat Floortje in the final.
Her debut album 'Raffaëla' consisted mostly of covers and the winner's single from 'Idols': "Right Here Right Now (My Heart Belongs to You)".
Raffaëla is currently a member of the girlgroup Monroe.
She is the niece of popular Dutch singer Ruth Jacott.

Raffaëla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never ever gonna get it (No, not this time)
No, you're never gonna get it (My love)
Never ever gonna get it
(repeat)
I remember how it used to be
You never was this nice, you can't fool me
The more you talk, the more things sound the same
What makes you think you can just walk back into her life
Without a good fight? Oh...
I just sit back and watch you make a fool of yourself
Cuz you're just wasting your time, oh...
No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
Now you promise me the moon and stars
Save your breath, you won't get very far
Gave you many chances to make change
The only thing you changed was love to hate
It doesn't matter what you do or what you say
She doesn't love you, no way
Maybe next time you'll give your woman a little respect
So you won't be hearing her say, 'No way'
No, you're never gonna get it (Not this time)
Never ever gonna get it (My lovin')
No, you're never gonna get it (Had your chance to make a change)
Never ever gonna get it
The lyrics to Raffaëla’s “My Lovin’” seem to be about a man who has lost the love of his life and is now trying to win her back. However, the woman is fed up with his games and empty promises and has no intentions of letting him back into her life or love. The phrase “No, you’re never gonna get it” is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing that the man will not get the love that he desires.
The first verse describes how the man is trying to change his ways and win back the woman’s love. However, the woman sees through this façade and recognizes that he is still the same person with the same intentions. The woman is not willing to forgive and forget easily and demands a good fight for her love. The chorus repeats that the man will never get the love he wants, even though he had a chance to make a change.
In the second verse, the man promises the woman everything she has ever wanted but the woman knows that she cannot rely on his promises. The man has already had plenty of chances to make changes in his life and in their relationship but the only thing that has changed is his love to hate. The woman is not interested in what he says or does anymore because she knows that he has already lost her love. The chorus repeats again, emphasizing the idea that he will never get her love.
Overall, the song "My Lovin'" is about learning to let go of someone who is not good for you and moving on from a toxic relationship. It highlights the importance of respecting oneself and not allowing someone who has repeatedly hurt you back into your life.
