In April 2006 Terra Naomi was part of a 100-piece choir who recorded for Neil Young's album Living With War. This was an influential experience for her, inspiring the song Something Good To Show You which has become the title for a "pro-humanity", anti-war project hoping to unite people with similar visions and helping them to make a difference to the way we live.
Terra Naomi interacts closely with her fans, making use of the Internet - her blog gives an insight into her life and shares her passionate views on some issues.
Terra has begun to venture out of the US and has performed in London at 'The Borderline', and 'Troubadour'. She returned to the UK once again at the end of October 2006 to perform in London and at the 'In The City' festival in Manchester. This accompanied the release of her album 'Virtually', featuring both acoustic and full band songs. The CD ran out of it's first 2,000 print run in only eight days via Internet sales, and went to reprint, ultimately selling 6,000 copies before being withdrawn in December 2006. In the fall of that year, Terra Naomi announced that she was signed to a UK-based music publisher, Universal Music. At the end of December 2006, it was further announced that she has been signed to Island Records, a Universal Music label. Terra Naomi announced that she is to temporarily relocate to the UK for an undisclosed period. She sold out her last Los Angeles performance "for a while" at the Coach House, on 7th January 2007, and now she is living in London.
Terra wrote 'Clean' -- a song for the soundtrack of the upcoming film 'Sherry Baby' released in 2006 (in the album, but not in the movie). The soundtrack CD was released in September 2006.
She co-wrote "The Moment" for the soundtrack of the film 'Because I Said So', released in April 24th, 2007.
Terra has continued to contribute videos to her YouTube page, including clips from her second London trip, and most notably a new "official video" of Say it's Possible, released to coincide with the New Year, and featuring numerous video clips solicited from her worldwide fan base, expressing their aspirations for the year. This was "featured" by YouTube, and quickly reached many of the top categories for which it was eligible.
In December 2006 Terra announced on her message board that she had been signed up to Island Records. Her first single, "Say it's Possible", was released on June 11th, and her album, "Under The Influence" was released in August 27, 2007.
On July 7, 2007 Terra performed in Wembley Stadium as part of Live Earth, singing "Say It's Possible".
Terra is currently recording her follow up album to "Under The Influence" in the US.
Not Sorry

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
See what you mean, yeah, she's okay
Seems like a sweet enough girl but she's not me
You take the lead, I'll take your hand
I'll follow you, just like we planned
Up to your room and lock the door
Not sorry
'Cause I can see it's true that you adore me
Let's not leave this room till tomorrow morning
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Don't care if you're somebody's man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Not sorry
I'm not normally quite this bold
I've been a good girl so I'm told
Not usually the type to take what's not mine
But I look at you and I can see
That you're the only one for me
Let's not pretend it's something else
I'd rather, we not fool ourselves
And if she's sad I've got some words of comfort
She's better off without some one who doesn't want her
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Don't care if you're somebody's man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Not sorry
And I believe in circumstances
Trust in fate and take your chances
And I know that love is all we need
And you'll find that love with me
And you'll find that love with me
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Don't care if you're somebody's man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Not sorry
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Don't care if you're somebody's man
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Not sorry
In Terra Naomi’s song “Not Sorry,” the artist shares a story of a passionate and impulsive love affair. The lyrics paint a picture of a woman who has fallen deeply in love with a man, who appears to be in a relationship with another woman. Despite this, the singer is not apologetic for her actions and feelings, as she believes that the love she shares with her lover is true and genuine.
The song starts with the singer talking about seeing her lover's other woman, and how she seems like a sweet enough girl but not her. This implies that she thinks she's better than the other woman and that her lover deserves her more. She then goes on to describe her intention to follow her lover and go to his room, where they will spend the night together. The phrase "Not sorry" used in the chorus signifies her feelings of being unapologetic for her love and passion towards him.
In the next verse, the singer admits that she is not usually the type to take what is not hers, but she looks at him and sees that he is the only one for her. She is not justifying her actions but rather saying that she can't help it as her feelings are genuine. Moreover, she even offers comfort to her lover’s other woman, stating that she's better off without someone who doesn't want her. The song concludes on a positive note, with the singer believing that love is all they need and that if they are meant to be together, destiny will bring them together.
Line by Line Meaning
I saw her just the other day
Recently noticed someone who is not as important as me
See what you mean, yeah, she's okay
Agreeing with someone's opinion, but still not impressed
Seems like a sweet enough girl but she's not me
Acknowledging the other person's good qualities but asserting one's superiority
You take the lead, I'll take your hand
Letting someone else lead in a seductive way
I'll follow you, just like we planned
Willing to follow through with the seduction plan
Up to your room and lock the door
Going for an intimate, private encounter
Not sorry
Being unapologetic about the situation
'Cause I can see it's true that you adore me
Feeling loved and wanted by the other person
Let's not leave this room till tomorrow morning
Wishing to extend the blissful moment
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Having no concern for the other person's commitments or responsibilities
Don't care if you're somebody's man
Ignoring the fact that the other person is in a relationship
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
Feeling desired by the other person
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
Encouraging the other person to end things with their partner
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Expecting the other person's partner to accept the situation, even if it hurts
I'm not normally quite this bold
Admitting that this behavior is out of character
I've been a good girl so I'm told
Acknowledging one's past behavior or reputation
Not usually the type to take what's not mine
Recognizing the moral implications of the situation
But I look at you and I can see
Being blinded by one's attraction to the other person
That you're the only one for me
Believing that this person is meant to be with them
Let's not pretend it's something else
Acknowledging the true nature of the relationship
I'd rather, we not fool ourselves
Preferring to be honest about the situation
And if she's sad I've got some words of comfort
Offering comfort to the other person's partner
She's better off without someone who doesn't want her
Believing that the other person's partner is better off without them
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Reiterating the lack of concern
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
Reinforcing the attraction
And I believe in circumstances
Having faith in the situation
Trust in fate and take your chances
Being willing to take risks for love
And I know that love is all we need
Believing that love is the most important thing
And you'll find that love with me
Promising to provide that love
Not sorry
Concluding with the same unapologetic sentiment
'Cause I don't care about your plans
Repeating the disregard for the other person's life outside of this moment
Don't care if you're somebody's man
Repeating the lack of concern for their relationship status
I look into your eyes, I know you want me
Repeating the feeling of being desired
So tell her anyway you can, just let her go
Repeating the encouragement to end things with their partner
She'll understand and if she doesn't that's too bad
Repeating the expectation that the other person's partner will accept the situation, even if it hurts

Love this song.
You never know if he feels the same way or she is convincing herself.
Nina Leach
It's a shame that not enough people know her, let alone this song.
This song is very thought provoking.
I've been both the wife and the "other woman".......as the latter, he convinced me that his wife was unloving and made him miserable but after I married and my husband played away, I realised he convinced her of the same things about me 😪
