"The Meaning of Love" is the second single from Pop Idol winner Michelle McManus, released on 26 January 2004. It failed to duplicate the success of her chart-topping debut single "All This Time", reaching number 16 in the UK[1] and number 29 in Ireland.[2] Considering the single and its parent album The Meaning of Love to be commercial failures, BMG swiftly dropped McManus from the label.[3]
