Tamta was born and raised in Georgia, where she started singing at the age of five. She has a daughter, Annie, whom she gave birth to at the age of 14. At the age of 22, she and her family moved to Athens, Greece.
In 2004, she took part in 'Super Idol'. Her outstanding vocal abilities along with her surprisingly rapid familiarization with the greek language (she could speak fluently in months) won the judges' and the audience's attention and as a result she made it to the finals and placed 2nd. Her first single was a duet with fellow contestant Σταύρος Κωνσταντίνου called Είσαι τ' άλλο μου μισό.
In 2006 she released her first studio album called Tamta, which spawned the hits "Φταις (Faraway)", "Δεν τελειώνει έτσι η αγάπη" and "Tornero/Τρομερό", a duet with Romanian pop star Mihai Trăistariu.
A year later she released her sophomore album Αγάπησέ με which spawned 4 hit singles: the ESC candidate song "With Love", the eponymous "Αγάπησέ με", "Μια στιγμή εσύ κι εγώ" and "Έλα στο ρυθμό".
Her third studio album is due for release in March 2009, with the first single being "Κοίτα με", a composition by the greek DJ Etostone, originally released a couple of years earlier.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's just be honest tonight, yeah
Only I can solve it
You're twisting, turning in your bed
Them sheets need my body tonight
That's when you call me, that's when you call me
Say you're feeling lonely
Time is moving slowly
We keep it undercover

Replay, replay, replay, yeah
You're stuck on me, darlin'

And I know I'm the one to blame
Because I make you scream my name
And baby, I'm all in tonight, mmm
That's when you call me, that's when you call me

The lyrics to Tamta's song Replay describe a romantic encounter between two people. The singer is aware that the person she is singing to has feelings for her and needs her love on replay. The first verse describes how the person is struggling to sleep and needs the singer to ease their mind. The chorus expresses how the person is stuck on the singer, like a love song on repeat, and needs her love repeatedly. The second verse continues to express the need for the singer's love, and how the person craves the taste of her lips. The bridge section reiterates that she is the one to blame for the person's obsession with her, but that she is all in and willing to fulfill his desire.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a passionate and intense romantic encounter that is driven by the need for intimacy and reassurance. The repetition of "replay" reinforces the idea that this encounter is a repeating cycle that satisfies both individuals' cravings for affection and touch.
