Within just a couple of weeks in October 2008 Sam and Jack were introduced to Son Studios in White Notley, Essex where they met Sonny Watson-Lang, who had agreed to session for them on drums and percussion for a 4 track EP. In just a week the first mixes were sounding awesome. Everyone was totally thrilled with the outcome. Sonny(18) was soon convinced to join the band.
After much deliberation Twenty Twenty was decided as a name for the band by the 3 boys and then were straight back in the studio to record a whole collection of tracks - 14 in fact.
Since then, they have gone on several headline tours and supported the likes of Mcfly, Selena Gomez and Scouting For Girls.
They also played a show at the O2 Arena on the 13th July 2010 with The Saturdays, Ironik, Eliza Doolittle, The Wanted and Tinchy Stryder.
According to the Love To Life Songfacts, Twenty Twenty released their first official single World's Apart on July 4, 2010, which reached #72 in the UK singles chart.
BURNING UP
Twenty Twenty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It all seems bitter-sweet
And know I'm scared of trying
I guess this is goodbye
The end of you and I
Put the past behind
And lock away the answers!
Can't believe you're Giving Up, Giving Up
Can't you see the times we shared
Could Still be there
Can't you see I'm Burning Up, Burning Up
'Cause I won't play this game
No need to tell a lie
No words were set in stone
Two reasons why this ended
Was this meant to be
The end of you and me
We played the cards so right
And now I stand without you!
Can't you see I'm Burning Up, Burning Up
Can't believe you're Giving Up, Giving Up
Can't you see the times we shared
Could Still be there
Can't you see I'm Burning Up, Burning Up
'Cause I won't play this game
('Cause I wont play this game, 'Cause I won't play this game...)
(Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye...)

You said you loved me
Then you left me
Now I'm all alone
When I need you and I dial
You wont pick up the phone
Burning Up, Burning Up
Can't believe you're giving up, Giving up
Can't you see the times we shared
Could still be there
Can't you see I'm...
(Burning up, Burning up, Burning up, Burning up)
This is what happens when you
Let love get the best of you
This is what happens when you
Let love get the best of you
Burning Up! Burning Up!

It's never what it seems to be
Things are never as they appear on the surface
It all seems bitter-sweet
Mixed emotions accompany every event
And know I'm scared of trying
I am afraid to take a risk
I guess this is goodbye
This is the end of our relationship
The end of you and I
This is the end of the love between us
Put the past behind
Leave what's happened before in the past
And lock away the answers!
Do not seek the answers to the problems we faced
Can't you see I'm Burning Up, Burning Up
I am in agony over our breakup
Can't believe you're Giving Up, Giving Up
I can't accept that you're ending things
Can't you see the times we shared
Remember the good time we had together
Could Still be there
We could still have a future together
'Cause I won't play this game
I won't continue with an unfulfilling relationship
No need to tell a lie
There's no reason to be dishonest
No words were set in stone
We never promised forever
Two reasons why this ended
We had two distinct reasons for our breakup
Was this meant to be
Were we never meant to be together
The end of you and me
This is the end of our relationship
We played the cards so right
We did everything correctly
And now I stand without you!
Now I must face life without you
You said you loved me
You told me you loved me
Then you left me
But then you broke up with me
Now I'm all alone
And now I am lonely
When I need you and I dial
When I reach out to you
You wont pick up the phone
You don't answer my calls
This is what happens when you
This is the result of
Let love get the best of you
Allowing love to control your actions
Burning Up! Burning Up!
I am consumed by my feelings of heartbreak
