She started piano at early age, and at around 12, started using her dad's home studio everyday, writing songs, programming beats and recording music. She started to record her own vocals at around 15.

Although she'd planned to study sound engineering in Paris, she left to Boston (MA) to study at Berklee College of Music, encouraged by being granted a scholarship... Growing up listening to Stevie Wonder and the Beatles, she discovered gospel and jazz once in the U.S. and since then, understood the roots of it all.

After a couple of years in Boston, Sophie packed her not-that-many bags, and unpacked them a few hours later in New York City. The next day, she was hired in a recording studio. The day after, she started performing backing vocals with artists from the underground Soul music scene. It's only a few months later that Sophie got her act together and started performing her own material.
Sophie's live performances have impressed and seduced a constantly growing audience around the world. So far, Delila has played in prestigious venues in London (Jazz Café, Soho Revue Bar, The Bedford, The Regal Room), New York (Blue Note, Joe's Pub, S.O.B's, B.B .King's), Paris (L'Elysee Montmartre, L'Europeen, Le Tryptique, Le Sentier des Halles), Oslo and Lisboa…

Sophie has been living in London since 2005. She has been developing her career as a solo artist mainly around her own recording studios based on Heathmans Road, Parsons Green SW6. She’s currently finalizing her LP "Hooked" co-written and co-produced with Steve Booker (responsible for worldwide hit “Mercy” by Duffy). Other collaborators on the album are Blair MacKichan, Derrick McKenzie, Jon Kelly, Julien Jabre, Michael Tordjman, Simon Hale and Robert Kirby.

Sophie Delila Lyrics

Early morning, show me the way
Time to face a brand new day
Can′t make this work as hard as I try
Never knew it could be so hard to say goodbye

Goodbye

I've got to

Get out now
Wake up now
Move out the room
I don′t know where I'm going to
But I can't keep loving you.
It′s too late now
To say now
What I′m going throught
I don't know (what I′ve got to do)

But I just can't keep on loving you.

It was beautiful for so long
Was it me, or do things just go wrong?

Now are we doing is hurting each other
Guess it′s time to let go off one another
One anorher

Oh, i've got to
Get out now
Wake up now
Move out the room
I don′t know where I'm going to
But i can't keep loving you
It′a too late
To say now
What i′m going throught
I don't know (what I′ve got to do)
But I just can't keep loving you
I′ve got to
Get out now
Wake up now
Move out the roim
I don't know where I′m going to
But I can't keep loving you
It's too late now
To say now
What I′m going throught
I don′t know (what I've got to do)
But I can′t keep loving you

I don't know
But I just can′t keep on loving you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sophie Delila's "Can't Keep Loving You" is a song about a difficult but necessary decision of ending a relationship that has gone sour. The first lines of the song talk about the morning, the start of a new day, which is usually symbolic of hope and new beginnings. However, the next line shows the reality of the situation as the singer admits that despite her efforts to make the relationship work, she can't continue anymore.

The chorus further emphasizes this harsh reality as the singer urges herself to leave and move on from the relationship. She admits that she doesn't know where she's going, but the most important thing is to let go of the person she can no longer love. The second verse continues with the theme of accepting the end of the relationship as the singer recalls how beautiful it once was but admits that things have gone wrong. The last lines of the song show the pain and the difficulty of the decision as the singer says that she can't keep on loving the person, but she also doesn't know what to do.

Overall, the song is an honest portrayal of the end of a relationship when both people involved know that they can't force it anymore. It's a realization that clinging to something that doesn't work is more painful than accepting the end and moving on.

Line by Line Meaning

Early morning, show me the way
Asking for guidance to start a new day

Time to face a brand new day
Time to move on and embrace a new beginning

Can′t make this work as hard as I try
Despite efforts, the relationship cannot be saved

Never knew it could be so hard to say goodbye
Saying goodbye is harder than expected

I've got to
Feeling the need to take action

Get out now
Leaving the current situation

Wake up now
Realizing the reality of the situation

Move out the room
Physically escaping the environment

I don′t know where I'm going to
Uncertainty about the future

But I can't keep loving you.
The relationship cannot continue with the same feelings

It′s too late now
Time has run out
