A1 (stylised as a1) is an Anglo-Norwegian boyband whose first single, "Be The First To Believe", was released in 1999. The band consists of Mark Read, Ben Adams, Christian Ingebrigtsen and Paul Marazzi.
The group's publicity mainly focuses on the fact that they write the majority of their own songs and three of the band members also play their own instruments.
In 2000, they achieved their two number one singles in the UK; a cover of a-ha’s 1985 single “Take On Me” and “Same Old Brand New You”.

Verse 1: C When you feel the dream is over G Feel the world is on your shoulders AmF And you've lost the strength to carry on C Even though the walls may crumble G And you find you always stumble through Bm Remember never to surrender to the dark
Refrain: FEmDm Coz if you turn another page CBb You will see that's not the way AmG The story has to end
Chorus: Dm If you need to find a way back F Feel you're on the wrong track C Give it time G You'll learn to fly Dm Tomorrow is a new day F And you will find your own way AmGF You'll be strong with each tear that you cry GDm-Em-F Then you'll learn to fly
Verse 2: C In your head so many questions G The truth is your possession Am The answer lies within your heart C You will see the doors are open G If you only dare to hope and Am You will find a way to fight Bm The fears that keep you down
(repeat refrain then chorus)
Bridge: Dm Lookin at your situation Am There's so much that you can do G Now's the time to make you stand BbF This is just an observation G In the end it's up to you G The future's in your hands
