Charles began her career as a backing vocalist and session artist, and recorded her first solo single in 1969 with a then-unknown Elton John singing backing vocals. In 1971 she made a record called "Joe" (about a little puppy).
She provided the lead vocals for 5000 Volts' 1975 disco hit "I'm On Fire". Although not publicly acknowledged as a group member at the time, Charles was considered to have a stronger voice than the group's official lead singer. The song reached number 4 in the UK, and number 26 in the US.
Her big break came in 1975, when Indian-British music composer and producer Biddu, who had just enjoyed massive success worldwide composing the disco hit "Kung Fu Fighting" for Carl Douglas, composed and produced the single "I Love to Love" for her. The single spent three weeks at number one on the UK singles chart in February 1976 and was major hit around the world. Biddu's collaboration continued on a future album and other huge hits like "Dance Little Lady Dance". Further hits, like "Love Me Like a Lover", "Dr. Love", "Rendezvous" and "Love Bug", made her a star throughout Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, but she was never able to achieve success in the US.
By 1979 her career was somewhat in decline, and disco music was losing some of its public appeal. She married and had a child, and devoted herself for some years to family life, putting her singing career on the back burner.
In the mid 1980s she had a resurgence with a remix of "I Love to Love" which was produced by Sanny X. Since 2000, Charles has performed throughout Europe where disco music and her hit singles have been reappraised, and she has become a popular live performer.
Tina enjoyed yet another comeback as she was featured on a Top 5 Billboard hit called "Higher" in 2006, a song which was produced by longtime friend and associate Sanny X. She also signed a record deal in the US with Wizard Records, releasing an album entitled Listen 2 the Music in 2008.

All Comes Back to You
Tina Charles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see your face with in my mind
I taste the essence of your kiss
And as my silent dreams unwind
I feel the emptiness you left behind
For it all comes back to you, all comes back
To you
In all that I say and all I do
To you, my love
The memories that shut me in
I bring the light to change them all
Why did it have to end like this
If there's an angel guarding me
Turn back the time to what it used to be
For it all comes back to you,
All comes back to you
In all that I say and all that I do
For it all comes back to you, all comes back
To you, my love
All comes back, it all comes back to you
In everything I say or do
Every little thing reminds me of you
It all, it all comes back to you
In everything I say or do
It all comes back to you
Oh baby, believe me
It all comes back ...
The song "All Comes Back to You" by Tina Charles depicts a woman reminiscing about a past love. When she is alone, memories flood her mind, and she can picture her ex-partner's face and taste their kiss. Even though the relationship has ended, her thoughts and actions are still influenced by her past love. She feels the emptiness left behind and can't help but think about what could have been.
The lyrics also show the singer's desire to change the past, to turn back the clock to a time when things were different. Memories may have shackled her in the past, but she chooses to bring light into those moments and create a new narrative. The singer appears to have moved on from the relationship, but the memories still linger, and every action she takes reminds her of her lost love.
"All Comes Back to You" is a poignant reminder that even though relationships may end, they still have an impact on our lives. We can't help but think about the people we've loved and lost, and those memories may influence us in ways we aren't even aware of.
