Angello was born to a Greek father and Swedish mother in Athens, Greece. His father was killed when Steve was a teenager. A life in Stockholm, Sweden and music took the better of him. He started out as a Turntablist, fusing hip-hop, breakbeats and 70's classics but later moved onto House music, in the club life of Stockholm, together with his best friend Sebastian Ingrosso.
Steve Angello's claim to fame came when he released his remix of Eurythmics "Sweet Dreams" in late 2004. Since then he has exploded onto the house music scene. In 2007 his eternal club banger, a remix of Robin S "Show Me Love" was released on Data Records.
Angello produces under several different aliases. On his own, he has called himself Who's Who and released tracks called "Not So Dirty" and "Sexy Fuck". He often works closely with his childhood friend Sebastian Ingrosso on many projects. Aside from DJing together, they have also produced under the names Buy Now, Fireflies, General Moders, Mode Hookers, Outfunk, and The Sinners. Most recently, they released "Bodycrash" under their Buy Now alias, sampling the 1978 disco hit "Let's All Chant" by the Michael Zager Band. The track was first played by Pete Tong on his Radio 1 show in late 2007. Eventually, the Dirty South remix of the tune leaked out onto the Internet in January 2008. The track has since received a much larger release via Positiva Records, also including the Laidback Luke remix.
He has produced with Eric Prydz under the name A&P Project. Also, he has created a track with his friend Axwell under the name Supermongo, later renamed Supermode. They made a cover of an old Bronski Beat track, calling it Tell Me Why. This was released via Ministry of Sound's Data Records imprint in summer 2006.
Steve Angello's productions can mainly be classified as house (Summer Noize), progressive house (Yeah), Tech house (Partouze) and electro house (Raining Again). He also owns his own record label, Size Records.
Angello's brother, Antoine Josefsson is also a DJ and producer who goes by the alias AN21. Together they have released the tracks Valodja, Flonko & Swing N Swoosh.
As well as releasing tracks through Subliminal, Data Records, Cr2 and Refune, Steve Angello is owner and founder of Size Records based in Stockholm, Sweden. Through Size he has released singles such as Gypsy, Isabel and Flonko to name a few. Size also represents artists such as Funkagenda, Kim Fai, Veerus, Thomas Gold, Third Party and Maxie Devine.
Break Me Down
Steve Angello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We should've known, should've known
Though I could've told you that a week ago
A week ago, week ago
But you used your body, baby
And I'm feeling foolish lately
So let's not pretend like you're not coming home
You're coming home and you say
Come for me, come for me, come
Down to the river, down to the river to pray"
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
It's a losing fight
Oh, so if it's love you want then take it, take it
Make it last all night
You're taking me up, up, up so high
So if it's love you want then break it, break it
Baby, that's just fine
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
Hmm, now all of my kingdoms crumble in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes
Watching my body sing, no compromise
A compromise when you say
"Run for me, run for me, run
Come for me, come for me, come
Down to the river, down to the river to pray"
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
It's a losing fight
Oh, so if it's love you want then take it, take it
Make it last all night
You're taking me up, up, up so high
So if it's love you want then break it, break it
Baby, that's just fine
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
You break me down
The lyrics of the song "Break Me Down" by Steve Angello explore the idea of a complicated relationship that is falling apart. The singer is hurt and emotional as they express their dissatisfaction with the way their relationship has ended up. The song opens with a tone of regret with the line "Never again she said, we should've known," suggesting that the couple is aware of their mistakes. However, the singer is somewhat resentful as she feels that her partner used his body to keep her interested, leading to her feeling foolish lately.
The chorus of the song reveals the desire to have a long-lasting love, but the truth is often blind and naked, and love can be a losing fight. The singer believes that if they can't have love, they want it to be over quickly - "So if it's love you want then break it, break it, Baby, that's just fine." The song ends on a powerful note with the repetition of the phrase "You break me down," as the singer expresses how their relationship has left them feeling destroyed.
Line by Line Meaning
Never again she said, we should've known
She's disappointed and regrets not realizing earlier
We should've known, should've known
It's a shared responsibility for not seeing it coming
Though I could've told you that a week ago
He knew it was bound to happen a week ago
A week ago, week ago
Emphasizing the specific time frame when he saw the situation unfolding
But you used your body, baby
She used her physicality to gain control over him
And I'm feeling foolish lately
He's feeling stupid for falling into her trap
So let's not pretend like you're not coming home
She acts like she's leaving, but he knows she'll come back
You're coming home and you say
Confirming that she'll return
Run for me, run for me, run
She wants him to chase after her
Come for me, come for me, come
She wants him to follow her lead
Down to the river, down to the river to pray
Using religious connotations to add depth and emotion to her request
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
Truth is exposed and vulnerable
It's a losing fight
Fighting against the truth is pointless
Oh, so if it's love you want then take it, take it
If it's a real connection he's seeking, he should go for it
Make it last all night
Implying that this is a short-time thing, so enjoy it while it lasts
You're taking me up, up, up so high
She makes him feel emotions he's never felt before
So if it's love you want then break it, break it
If he wants a real connection, she will break him out of his comfort zone
Baby, that's just fine
She's willing to take the risk and potentially hurt him along the way
Hmm, now all of my kingdoms crumble in your eyes
He's losing himself and his values in front of her
Watching my body sing, no compromise
He's giving himself to her without reservation
'Cause if the truth is blind and naked, naked
Truth is always exposed, even when not physically present
It's a losing fight
Fighting against the truth is pointless
You break me down
She strips him of his defenses and makes him vulnerable
You break me down
She's breaking his walls that he built around himself
You break me down
She makes him lose control and exposes his vulnerabilities
You break me down
She's destroying him emotionally
You break me down
She's making him experience painful emotions
