Amaze Me
"Amaze Me" is a song performed by all-female German pop group No Angels. It was written by British songwriters Steve Mac and Karen Poole, and produced by Boogieman and Roland Spremberg for the band's comeback album, their fourth full-length studio album ''Destiny'' (2007). Musically, the song is a pulasting hymn-like pop ballad. Lyrically, "Amaze Me" is an ode to love. Still amazed by her lover, the female protagonist sings that she feels happy their relationship has lasted through good and bad times over the years.
Released to positive reviews by music critics, the song was released as the album's third single as a double A-single along with the Womack & Womack cover "Teardrops" on October 19, 2007 in German-speaking Europe. The song reached number 25 on the German Singles Chart, but failed to enter the national charts elsewhere, eventually becoming one of the group's lowest-charting singles. Slightly more successful than its predecessor "Maybe" however, it managed to reach the composite ''Billboard'' Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart.
== Background ==
In mid-2006, No Angels member Lucy Diakovska approached her former bandmates to arrange a first meeting with all original band members for years following their disbandment in December 2003. While Vanessa Petruo refused to re-join the band in favour of an independent solo career in music and film, all other members of the original line-up agreed upon Diakovska's request to reunite for a musical comeback, and the band eventually took action to prepare their next album in secrecy from public.〔 Requested by the No Angels's A&R manager Niklas Hafemann, "Amaze Me" was one of several exclusively-penned tracks for the band's comeback album ''Destiny''.〔 Penned by English songwriters Karen Poole and Steve Mac, it was co-produced by Boogieman and Roland Spremberg for the album. Mixing was handled by the former, while Spremberg provided all instruments, including the guitar, keyboards, and a bass.〔 Engineering was overseen by Nico Schuette.〔
"Amaze Me" was one of the first tracks to be recorded by the group and among a total of seven candidates considered for the album's lead single.〔"Himmlisch!". ''BILD am Sonntag''. Axel Springer AG. Retrieved on 2007-04-22.〕 Although it lost in favour of "Goodbye to Yesterday," the band members have described the ballad as one of their personal favourites on the album. "We instantly fell in love with the song, because it has a very special atmosphere. It's carrying off, no matter where you are," Nadja Benaissa told RTL Television,〔 with Lucy Diakovska adding: "Each of us could easily build a relation (it ). It's about a feeling, () everyone knows: You're absolutely amazed by someone, who is mesmerizing you with his charme and acts."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=RTL.de )〕 Jessica Wahls called the song "soul- and heart-touching", stating: "But it's not a slow song, it is pulsating."〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Limmatta Online ) 〕
