He started his career before the age of 10 singing in Loktev’s children choir. From this point on, music has never stopped being the most important thing in his life. When he was 14, he was already receiving his first music awards. At that time, he won several children’s song contests, and ended up in the very popular band Neposedi, the same band where Julia and Lena of t.A.T.u. met each other. In 2000, Lazarev entered Moscow’s famous MKHAT theatre school, from which he graduated in 2004. While he was a student, he started playing main roles in Pushkinski Theatre’s “Romeo and Juliet” and “Karamazov Brothers”. At the same time, together with his childhood friend Vlad Topalov, he started a boy-duet Smash!!, that shortly after was signed by Universal Music Russia and became one of the Russian pop-wonders in 2002-2003. Five #1 hits, numerous awards and millions of copies sold in Russia, CIS and Southeast Asia was a result of the short duet’s career - the boys split up in 2004, only one week after the release of their second album.
Lazarev began recording his first solo album in 2005, at the time when he also returned to theatre, which he left in 2003 because of the band’s packed schedule. Together with the British producer Brain Rawling, he recorded most of the songs for his debut album “Don’t Be Fake”, which was released in November 2005 and which was instantly sold in more than 300 000 copies in Russia alone. As for theatre, his role in the Broadway-style musical comedy “Borrow a Tenor” brought him five professional theatre awards, making the play biggest success of the 2005 theatre season. In May 2006, Lazarev received the Russian national music TV channel MUZ TV's award as the Best New Act. The 4th single from his first solo album, “Fake”, was played in clubs in the UK, debuting on 30th July at #28 on Commercial Music Club Chart in Music Week.
His second album, "TV Show", was released in 2007, and his third album, "Electric Touch", was released in 2010.
In 2008, Lazarev took part in the Russian national preselection for Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Flyer (Under Fire)".

Gotta feeling she's into me
The way that she talked to me
I think i'm on ice so thin
I don't know where to tread
Got a feeling she sees right through me
I tried sweating it out but its been eating me up
This time i feel twice as guilty shes a friend of yours
Why why why does everything have to be so complicated
You know I hate this
Why why why did I leave it far too long
But now I gotta say
Chorus
I DON'T WANT NOBODY BUT YOU
I DONT WANNA FEEL LIKE I DO
GONNA HAVE TO TELL HER THE TRUTH
SO HERE I GO
HELP ME I'M IN TROUBLE
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND
Verse 2
Gotta feelin shes onto me
The way that she looked at me
She's staring with eyes so cold
I guess she figured it out
I didnt tell her she saw right through me
I was steppin on glass
I was sinkin' so fast
Couldnt find a way out of a situation
I ain't proud of me
But its the ways its gotta be
Why why why does everything have to be so complicated
You know I hate this
Why why why did I leave it far too long
But now I gotta say
Chorus
I DON'T WANT NOBODY BUT YOU
I DONT WANNA FEEL LIKE I DO
GONNA HAVE TO TELL HER THE TRUTH
SO HERE I GO
HELP ME I'M IN TROUBLE
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND
HELP ME I'M IN TROUBLE
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND
You can't choose the one you love
The one you're really thinkin' of
HELP ME I'M IN TROUBLE
I FELL IN LOVE WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND
It hurts so much to do what's right
Just to have you by my side
Help me I'm in trouble
No I didn't wanna hurt her
Help me I'm in trouble
I know, I know, I didn't wanna hurt her
Help me I'm in trouble, No I didn't wanna hurt her
Help me I'm in trouble
Didn't wanna hurt you

I don't know where to tread
I am unsure of how to handle this situation
Got a feeling she sees right through me
I suspect she knows how I feel about her
I tried sweating it out but its been eating me up
I have been unable to shake off my emotions and it's affecting me
This time i feel twice as guilty, shes a friend of yours
I feel even worse about my feelings because she is your friend
But I cant hide from you no more
I cannot keep this from you any longer
Why why why does everything have to be so complicated
I am frustrated at how difficult this situation is
You know I hate this
I despise this situation

I did not confess my feelings, yet she still knows
I was steppin on glass

I felt like I was going under quickly
Couldnt find a way out of a situation
I was unable to get myself out of this situation
I ain't proud of me
I am not happy with myself for feeling the way I do
But its the ways its gotta be
However, this is how it is, and I must deal with it
You can't choose the one you love
You do not get to decide who you fall in love with
The one you're really thinkin' of
The person you are truly enamored with
It hurts so much to do what's right
It is painful to do the right thing
Just to have you by my side
But, I do it to be with you
No I didn't wanna hurt her
I did not intend to cause her pain
Help me I'm in trouble
I need your help with this situation
Didn't wanna hurt you
I did not want to hurt you either

Я как в 2008 писала кипятком от Лазарева,так до сих пор!😅❤️ он крутой!!! Этот альбом заслушивала до дыр.
@nelly4572
С 2000 со смеша 😂
@try-gen
Если до хип пор, это очень хорошо, уверен что твоя писечка ещё не остыла)
@user-wm2me4ng2f
Я очень любила Сергея Лазарева 😍🥰Я была школьницей.Не пропускала его клипы и передачи с его участием.
@juliasudarikova7748
Крутая песня, одна из любимых!!! ❤❤❤ Когда ФилК называет Сергея "своим преемником" - ржать охота, только одна эта песня отбросила "короля-самозванца" на 10000 световых лет назад, естессно, до сих пор поёт в единственной манере АБ... Сорри, если чё. Сергей творит волшебство🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤✨️✨️✨️ 1:01

I really love this song! The more I listen to it, the more I love it! Especially its live versions!

С возрастом этот молодой красавчик становится еще брутальнее, года ему к лицу)
@verabear593
Может быть, но, мне кажется, что англоязычные альбомы были более качественными.
Много всего произошло за этот весь период его карьеры, но сейчас мне практически ничего из его творчества не нравится. Такое ощущение, что какая- то стагнация в его карьере.
А так, конечно, талантливый.
@user-ez9nl7vv4b
Песня замечательная. Класс. 👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰

Какой же он ахуенный!!! Серёжа всегда прекрасен!
