Currently she is one of the top playback singers in Bollywood - having sung for top actresses such as: Rekha, Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor, Kajol, Urmila Matondkar, Rani Mukherji, Aishwarya Rai, Sushmita Sen, Kareena Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Lara Dutta, Vidya Balan, Deepika Padukone, Sonam Kapoor, Asin, Anushka Sharma, Sonakshi Sinha, Parineeti Chopra and Alia Bhatt.
She started her singing career at a very early age of four. She participated in many competitions and made her presence felt. Her family soon shifted to Mumbai when Tabassum, a TV host spotted her talent and expressed to her parents that she could further her career if they went to Mumbai. She became quite famous through the various competitions she participated in. Her performances were telecast all over India through the National Television channel Doordarshan, through the music show Meri Aawaz Suno where she won the "Lata Mangeshkar Trophy" for the best female singer of India along with Pradip Somasundaran in the male category. This was the first such televised contest in India in 1996. Her first break in a Hindi film was in the film Shastra followed by Gang, Veergati, Dahek, Bade Dilwala, Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat, Shyam Benegal's Samar and the Vidhu Vinod Chopra film Mission Kashmir. She had no formal training before she entered into various national singing competitions. Lata Mangeshkar offered to train her when she won on the nationally-telecast "Meri Aawaz Suno"
Her singing career got a big boost when Sandeep Chowta gave her the first major break in Mast. After Mast there was no turning back. Sunidhi Chauhan had been getting lots of criticism for an extremely mature voice despite being young. However this criticism ended once Chameli came with her biggest song to date "Bhaage Re Mann" and today she and Nihira Joshi are known as the most versatile singers since Kavita Krishnamurthy and Asha Bhosle.

Kisi ko bas baaton mein, kare pal mein yahaan wahaan
Kisi ke sau jhoot sun le, kisi ka sacch bhi gunaah
Kisi ka bas yaadon mein, kare hulchul saara jahaan
Te amo me te amo
Tu chhaanv hai, tu dhoop hai
Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaron roop hai
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo
Tu chhaanv hai, tu dhoop hai
Te amo me te amo
Tere hazaaron roop hai
Kabhi lagey raaton mein main khwaabon se baatien karoon subah unhi
Khwaabon ko main kaabu karoon
Kabhi lagey taaron se bhi, unche udaane bharoon
Kabhi lagey baadalon se jaibein bharoon
Te amo me te amo
Taare ginu tere liye
Te amo me te amo
Saare chunu tere liye
Khwaab saare bunu tere hi tere liye
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo
Taare ginu tere liye
Te amo me te amo
Kabhi lagey mili nahin, tumse main khwaabon mein bhi
Kabhi lagey kahin toh hai ristha koi
Kabhi lagey chhu tumhe, yunhi khayalon mein hi
Kabhi lagey nahin nahin chori nahin
Te amo me te amo
Tu paas hai par door hai
Te amo me te amo
Jaata nahin yeh noor hai
Teri chori bhi yeh manzoor manzoor hai
Falling so crazy in love
Te amo me te amo
Te amo me te amo
Jaata nahin yeh noor hai
The lyrics of Sunidhi Chauhan's song Te Amo express a feeling of being lost in love. The first verse talks about different ways that people feel or express love, how one person's dream may be another's reality or vice versa, and how memories of someone can affect the entire world. The chorus repeats the phrase "Te amo me te amo," which translates to "I love you, I love you," and implies a deep, all-consuming love. The lines "Tu chhaanv hai, tu dhoop hai / Tere hazaron roop hai" are comparisons to nature, where the person's loved one is like both the shade and the sun, and has many different facets.
The second verse delves into the singer's fantasies of being able to control their dreams to include the person they love. They also mention wanting to reach for the stars and soar high like the clouds, feeling inspired by their love. The next set of lines talk about how sometimes they feel like they've never met the person they're singing to, only knowing them through their dreams. However, other times, they feel a deep and profound connection that can be felt through even their thoughts.
Overall, the song tells a story of being in love with somebody so completely that it feels as though they are the only thing that exists. It conveys a sense of vulnerability and passion, with the delicate instrumentation serving as a perfect backdrop to Chauhan's beautiful vocals.

Kabhi lagey raaton mein main khwaabon se baatien karoon subah unhi

You are nearby, but far away
Jaata nahin yeh noor hai
This light never fades away
Teri chori bhi yeh manzoor manzoor hai
Even your theft is acceptable and desirable
