In 2004 the band released the limited EP 'Here Comes A Close Up'. Despite not making the UK singles chart, the release sold out.
The band released their debut album The Glitterati on 25 April 2005. The Album was produced by the legendary Mike Clink who had worked with bands such as Guns N' Roses on Appetite For Destruction, Use Your Illusion I and Use Your Illusion II and Metallica on tracks from the album Garage Inc.. The album was recorded in a Los Angeles studio. This was followed by the extensive Back In Power tour of the UK.
Early 2005 the band broke into the top 40 singles chart with their single You Got Nothing On Me, their next single did not make it so high in the charts and just made it into the top 75 with Back In Power.
Over the summer of 2005 The Gliterati played some major festivals in the United Kingdom such as "T in The Park" and Download Festival at Donnington Park. This has earned the band a big fanbase across the country.
The Band can be compared greatly to rivals Towers of London and have a sound and style very similar to Velvet Revolver style with their raunchy lyrics, heavy riffs and general appearance.
As of early 2006, The Glitterati is in the process of making their second album.
The Glitterati replaced 2 members of the band, Bass player now known as BAZ and Rythem Guitar now known as GAFF.
As of early 2009, The Glitterati is in the process of recording their second album with producer Matt Hyde (also known for his work with Gallows, Acroama, Trivium and Slipknot).
In September 2009 The Glitterati signed a worldwide record deal with DR2 Records/Global a subdivision of the hugely succesful Demolition Records.
The Glitterati will release the first single from their 2nd album in November 2009 and will be announcing a release date for the album shortly

Heartbreaker
The Glitterati Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got me crying like I thought I would never be
Love is believing but you let me down
How can I love you when you ain't around
And I
Get to the morning and you never call
Love should be everything or not at all
I made a life out of loving you
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
I'm crying in the rain
I could be searching my world for a love everlasting
Feeling no pain
when will we meet again
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
My love for you
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
when I was being what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
This world may end
not you and I
My love is stronger than the universe
My soul is crying for you
and that cannot be reversed
You made the rules and you could not see
you made a life out of hurting me
Out of my mind
I am held by the power of you love
Tell me when do we try
Or should we say goodbye?
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
when I was being what you want me to be?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
Oh
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
My love for you, ooh
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
The Glitterati's song Heartbreaker is about the pain and confusion caused by a lover who breaks the singer's heart repeatedly. The lyrics describe the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing, crying and feeling let down despite believing in love. The lover's absence and lack of communication only add to the singer's distress, who feels as if they made a life out of loving someone who couldn't love them back.
The chorus begs the question of why the lover has to be a heartbreaker, and if perhaps it is a lesson the singer needed to learn. The lyrics suggest that the singer's love is incredibly strong, even though the lover made a life out of hurting them. The intensity of their love is shown when the singer claims that their love is stronger than the universe and that their soul is crying for the lover. However, in the end, the singer questions whether they should try again or say goodbye to the love that has passed them by.
Line by Line Meaning
I got to say it and it's hard for me
I need to express something, and it's difficult for me to do so
You got me crying like I thought I would never be
Your actions have caused me to feel a level of sadness I never imagined
Love is believing but you let me down
I had faith in our love, but you disappointed me
How can I love you when you ain't around
It's hard to feel love towards you when you're never here
Get to the morning and you never call
You don't even bother to reach out to me in the morning
Love should be everything or not at all
Love ought to be complete and all-consuming, or not exist at all
And it don't matter whatever you do
Nothing you do can make up for the way you've let me down
I made a life out of loving you
My entire being revolves around loving you
Only to find any dream that I follow is dying
All my aspirations are falling apart
I'm crying in the rain
I'm heartbroken, and the tears blend with the raindrops
I could be searching my world for a love everlasting
I could be roaming the world looking for a love that will last forever
Feeling no pain
Feeling nothing at all
when will we meet again
Wondering when we'll cross paths again
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Why must you be the cause of my heartache?
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Is this a harsh truth that I was never aware of?
Gotta get out of the spell that I'm under
I need to break free from the hold you have over me
My love is stronger than the universe
My love for you is boundless and unstoppable
My soul is crying for you
The deepest part of me is yearning for you
and that cannot be reversed
That feeling cannot be erased or undone
You made the rules and you could not see
You set the terms of our relationship, but you failed to notice
you made a life out of hurting me
You built your life around causing me pain
Out of my mind
I'm losing my sanity
I am held by the power of your love
I'm trapped by the hold that your love has on me
Tell me when do we try
I need to know when we'll attempt to make things right
Or should we say goodbye?
Or is it time for us to part ways?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted has passed me by
Everything I've ever hoped for has slipped away from me
Oh
Exclamation of longing and despair
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker
Why must you inflict pain on me?
is it a lesson that I never knew?
Is there something I need to learn from all of this?
Suddenly everything I ever wanted
Everything I ever aspired for
My love for you, ooh
My undying passion for you
