Beautiful Intentions is the third solo album by the English singer Melanie C and also the first from her own record label Red Girl Records after she went separate ways with the old one. The album was released in April 2005 in several European countries.
background
Melanie C worked on the album for almost a year. She previewed several songs during her Barfly mini tour in June 2004 before going into the studio to record. Since the album was produced under her own label, Melanie C cost about one million euros for the entire recordings. Despite good reviews and the successful first single Next Best Superstar , the album initially did not sell as well as expected - Beautiful Intentions made it to 24th place in the British album charts in the first week of sales.
Soon after, a new single was released in Germany, First Day of My Life . This by Guy Chambers and Enrique Iglesias written song is the theme song for the ZDF - Telenovela Path to Happiness (then Julia - Wege zum Glück ). The music video was shot on August 26, 2005 in downtown Hanover . On October 1, 2005, Chisholm performed First Day of My Life at Wetten, dass ..? on. Shortly thereafter, she was number 1 in the German music charts, displacing Robbie Williams with Tripping - her greatest success so far in Germany. The single became one of the most successful singles of 2005. Two months later, the already well-known album Beautiful Intentions was re-released with the single First Day Of My Life and brought the desired success. It was successful worldwide and again reached the top 20 in Germany after its first entry into the top 15. In Portugal the album even reached number 1 for almost ten weeks. The album has significantly outbid her second work Reason in sales; the follow-up single Better Alone reached number 51 in Germany.
