虽然这位来自英国东南部的舞曲艺人已经不是第一次在排行榜上露面了，但还是有许多人不了解他的背景。DANIEL BEDINGFIELD只有23岁，他有两个妹妹，关系非常融洽，小时候经常和他们一起听一些R&B音乐，后来几个人开始腻味光听不练的假把式，就组了一只名叫DNA Algorhythm乐队，并且在当地小有名气。后来Daniel认识了一个来自利兹的女友，并在一次做爱之后的谈话中获取灵感，用话筒和电脑创作了单曲《Gotta Get Thru This》，该单曲很快就被独立厂牌Relentless发表，登上了英国榜No.1，从而一举成名，并被当地的媒体评为那一年有希望的艺人。新单曲《Never Gonna Leave Your Side》刚一上榜就夺得了第一的位置，可见其人气之旺盛，可惜该单曲依然一首由发人深思的歌词加上跳舞音乐节奏组成的流行歌，和上一首单曲《If You're Not the One》相比，虽说不是同一件衣服上的两块布，但差不多也是由相同的面料组成的一件衣服，没什么新意.
New Zealand-born Daniel Bedingfield grew up in southeast London. Mostly influenced by contemporary R&B artists, his sisters Natasha and Nicola teamed up with him to assemble their first band, called the DNA Algorhythm. Inspired by a girlfriend from Leeds, Daniel Bedingfield recorded "Gotta Get Thru This" in his bedroom with a microphone plugged to his home computer. In December 2001, just a few weeks after its release by the independent Relentless Records, his song went straight to the top on the U.K. singles chart. At the age of 21, the promising pop singer became a local celebrity. Signing to Polydor UK, Bedingfield worked on some new material and released his first album, Gotta Get Thru This, in the fall of 2002. Second First Impression followed in 2005.
