2001年春季,莎拉以挑動情慾的處女單曲《Let’s Get Back To The Bed Boy》,綻放狂野性格,歌曲強勢占領德國排行榜亞軍,並進入歐陸各國排行榜TOP 10,搶攻歐洲流行單曲榜TOP 15。第二首單曲《French Kissing》轉而釋放靈魂樂的性感魅力,同年底改走情歌路線,推出感人戀曲《From Sarah With Love》成績益發耀眼,光在德國就賣出75萬張,輕易摘下德國榜冠軍后座,竄登歐洲Music & Media排行榜TOP 5,並在瑞典與奧地利創造金唱片開出銷售紅盤;緊接著首張大碟《Green Eyed Soul》更上層樓,不但直襲德國專輯榜亞軍,也攻克荷蘭、波蘭、芬蘭、葡萄牙、希臘等國排行TOP 10。
美國說唱樂巨星韋克萊夫·讓耳聞莎拉歌唱魅力,特地跨刀製作譜寫併合唱一曲《One Nite Stand(Of Wolves And Sheep)》,莎拉·寇娜已然躋身全球節奏藍調歌后之列。
2003年,進軍國際樂壇的大碟《Unbelievable》展露莎拉多樣化的流行節奏藍調風情,從純情動人的《Skin On Skin》、挑戰唐妮·布萊斯頓抒情唱功的悽美戀曲《From Sarah With Love》、與韋克萊夫·讓交手的激爆火辣風情力作《One Nite Stand(Of Wolves And Sheep)》、放克艷情勁奏《He’s Unbelievable》、抒情創作才女Diane Warren執筆的挑情動感之作《I Wanna Touch U There》、瀰漫都會浪漫情調的《The Loving Permission》、散發復古節奏藍調哀情小品《Where Did You Sleep Last Nite?》、街舞勁歌《Bounce》、《That’s The Way I’m》、《Sweet Thang》到節奏藍調美聲情歌《1+1=2》、《Beautiful》,還有不太出名但旋律優美哀婉的《I will find you in my heart》, 她那收放自如的情感唱腔馬上就要征服你的聽覺世界了。
當莎拉·寇娜在德國樂壇已經可以呼風喚雨的時候,遇到了剛從美國轉戰德國演藝圈的男藝人馬克·特倫茨,兩人一見鐘情,不久就步入了婚姻的殿堂。他們的婚禮倍受矚目,因為莎拉·寇娜的招牌作品就是《Living to love you》,所以馬克·特倫茨特意為婚禮準備了一首歌《Love to be loved by you》,在西班牙的海邊,浪漫的場景, 浪漫的婚禮,還有浪漫的新郎新娘.,馬克在海邊大石上彈著鋼琴,深情的唱著專門為莎拉秘密準備的歌曲《Love To Be Loved By You》。
不過令人極為惋惜的是,幾年後,這對明星夫婦的婚姻還是走到了盡頭。婚姻破裂後,兩人都一度很悲傷。曾經的《love to be loved by you》最終成為了《Just one last dance》。但做不成夫妻,仍然是好朋友。
