thru this. He recorded this song at home with just a microphone in his room. In December, a few weeks after Relentless Records released his single, it went straight to number 1 of the UK singles chart. The 21 year old became a local celebrity. This was the launch pad of his successful music career in the years to come. He started composing some new material and soon, in 2002, he launched his debut album Gotta get thru this. This lyrics of the song are about someone who is trying to get through life, without thinking about a person who they know they cant be together with. This was probably influenced by his girlfriend who wasnt close to him. Every song in the album was recorded with a software on his computer. This album peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart and eventually sold an amazing 4 million copies worldwide. Gotta get thru this includes 3 singles which hit number 1 in the singles chart. They are Gotta get Thru this, If Youre Not the One and Never Gonna Leave Your Side.
