iiO (sometimes written as IIO, pronounced "eye-oh") was a New York City based house music act consisting of producer/songwriter Markus Moser and singer/songwriter Nadia Ali. iiO are best known for their 2001 hit "Rapture". The name iiO was derived from the Sony PC laptop model VAIO, on which the duo was creating much of their early work, and the duo was in fact first known as Vaiio.
After "Rapture" was released, the duo followed suit with "At The End" in 2002, "Smooth" in 2003, and "Runaway" in 2004.
iiO's first album, "Poetica", was delayed several times and released independently in March 2005 on Made Records, and worldwide in June 2006.
By the time the album was released Nadia Ali had left iiO to pursue a solo career, while Moser continues to release material featuring her on the vocals. These included the single "Kiss You", which was released to promote the album, followed by "Is It Love?". Moser followed these with "Rapture 2007" and "Reconstruction Time: The Best Of iiO Remixed" in 2007, and finally "Rapture Reconstruction: Platinum Edition in 2008.
iiO re-emerged from hiatus in December 2010 with Moser releasing new remixes of the band's second single "At The End (Metropolitan Mix)". Moser released a second album, "Exit 110" on April 19, 2011 featuring Ali on vocals. It was announced that Exit 110 will be iiO's final project and while Moser had doubts about using material Ali recorded before she left iiO, it was decided to release a new album due to a demand by fans.

iio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's no thought other then yours
My heart felt like a rose in the graveyard
But you dug and I knew you you belonged
You found
What was profound
What was around
A romance fairy tale from the soul
I knew I wasn't alone in this world
My heart keeps beating a melody
The noise inside my heart sets me free
You're the one
Where I belong
I was alone
Till you came along
The one
You're the one
Where I belong
I was alone
Till you came along
The one
You built a fortress around my kingdom
You sat down on the throne 'cause you won
You opened all the doors to the fortune
I'll give you all the loving in gold
It's true
All because you
Wouldn't let go
Of you and I
The lyrics to iio's song The One describe the feeling of finding love and belonging with someone. It begins by expressing the certainty in one's mind about the identity of the "one", and how no other thoughts can compare. The heart had been previously feeling like a "rose in the graveyard", which implies that it was dead or hopeless. However, the other person dug it up and gave it new life. The lyrics mention that the person found something profound, possibly referring to the love and connection they share. The second half of the lyrics focus on the impact of this love. The person feels like they are in a fairy tale, confirming that it is a perfect match. The melody in their heart sets them free, implying that they feel liberated and themselves in the relationship. The lyrics conclude by emphasizing that the partner is the one that they belong to, and they build each other up.
