ZOEgirl
ZOEgirl is an American Christian teen pop and pop rock band formed in 1999. The group comprised Chrissy Conway-Katina, Alisa Childers and Kristin Swinford-Schweain. They were signed to Sparrow Records from 1999 to 2006 and released their debut single "I Believe" in 2000. This song and their self-titled debut album ZOEgirl helped them become Sparrow's fastest selling artist of all time. With All of My Heart, the lead single for Life, was the group's only No. 1 Christian contemporary hit radio (CHR) single and led to the group receiving a GMA Dove Award for New Artist of the Year in 2002. By the end of 2003, over one million albums from ZOEgirl were sold.
As a response to the musical trends of the time, ZOEgirl changed their format from teen pop to pop rock with the release of "You Get Me" in 2003. Released as the lead single for their third album, Different Kind of Free, this was their only No. 1 Christian adult contemporary (AC) single. It also peaked at No. 2 on CHR, making it the second-highest ZOEgirl song on that chart. The group's musical change and the growing digital piracy at the time led to slower sales of ZOEgirl's music. Their highly anticipated fourth and final studio album Room to Breathe earned the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Top Heatseekers Album charts. It was ZOEgirl's least successful album in terms of US Christian radio airplay, with only "About You" and "Scream" released as singles and the latter being unsuccessful. Both songs were better received in Australia.
ZOEgirl (album)
ZOEgirl, released in 2000, is the first studio album from Christian girl group ZOEgirl. It was released on August 15, 2000 through Sparrow Records. "I Believe", "Anything Is Possible", "No You" and "Living For You" were released as radio singles.
Background
After the ZOEgirl group was formed, they immediately began to work on their self-titled album at a fast pace. They temporarily separated during the Christmas holidays of 1999 to pray about the album and the message they should record on it. After this, they realized that they wanted to talk about their relationships with God and the romantic relationships that people may face in life. Producers remarked that paper, drafting the debut album's content, was scattered all around the studio.
When the album's musical content was finished, ZOEgirl traveled to New York City to meet with a stylist for fashion suggestions regarding a photo shoot. After they agreed on what to wear, they traveled to Los Angeles, California for an entire photo shoot day. It is unknown whether the music video was also recorded in this city, but the similarities between the album art and the music video seem to suggest this to be true.

Spotlight glaring down
Silence from the crowd
The circus is just beginning
I tremble, looking around
I would hate to fall and hit the ground
In front of all these people
That wouldn't be pleasant
So the music plays
And the trapeze sways
And my heart is beating faster
But all I hear is laughter
From the crowd
Cause they see right through my gaze
Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me
There is someone who loves you for you
I keep lying to myself
Trying to be somebody else
In front of all these people
I feel really foolish
And when the main attraction at the masquerade
If I keep goin' like this, I'm gonna go insane
Is this circus act all I'll ever be?
Yeah...
Would you please tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me
There is someone who loves you for you
God loves you and me
Let me tell you it's the kind of love that's given free
And it doesn't fake
And it doesn't flake
And it doesn't play those games
God loves me and you
Let me tell you it's the kind of love
It's real, it's true
And it doesn't lie
And it's doesn't cheat
After it takes you off your feet
So just... tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just trying to understand
Why you don't love me
Why you don't love me for me
Tell me
What I gotta be
For you to want me
For you to want me, yeah
Cause I am
Just playing a losing hand
If you don't love me
If you don't love me for me
