1. 3T are an American musical group made up of Tito Jackson and the late Delores "Dee-Dee" Jackson's three sons: Toriano Adaryll "Taj," Jr. (4 Aug 1973), Taryll Adren (8 Aug 1975) and Tito Joe "T.J." (16 Jul 1978). The brothers have a younger half-sister named Tanay Jackson who is also a singer-songwriter.
3T released their debut album Brotherhood in 1995. The album sold approximately six million copies worldwide. The group achieved an international hit with their debut single "Anything," and released several hit singles in Europe, including "24/7", "Why" (a duet with their uncle, Michael Jackson), "I Need You" (with a brief vocal appearance by Michael), "Tease Me" and "Gotta Be You." In 1996, they were ranked second, behind the Spice Girls, as the biggest-selling group in Europe. 3T have also written and produced songs for soundtracks to films as The Jacksons: An American Dream, Free Willy and Free Willy 2, Men in Black, and Trippin'.
After signing with the French label TF1/NRJ in 2003, 3T continued to perform in France, the Netherlands and Belgium. The group signed with the Dutch label Digidance in 2004 for Dutch releases, appearances and performances. The album titled Identity was released on March 23, 2004. Two singles were released: "Stuck On You" (a cover of the Lionel Richie song) was released in 2003 in France and Belgium, in 2004 in the Netherlands, and "Sex Appeal" in 2004.
In December 2005, it was announced that 3T would star in a television reality show, featuring the band trying to resurrect their career in the United States. This has not yet taken place. In 2007, Taryll announced on Myspace that he was recording a solo album. Some previews were added to his Myspace music account, but later were removed. From May to June of 2008, Taj and TJ (who joined later) filmed with their father Tito, apparently for an NBC documentary, with other members of the Jackson family. Taryll did not participate in these events due to personal circumstances as yet undisclosed.
2. 3T (Yumiko Cheng, Mandy and Maggie Lau), which released an EP in September of 2002.
Gotta Be You
3T Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's gotta be you
No one else can do
All the things you do
Can't believe you're gone for real
I gave you all I had
A lover's paradise gone bad
I see you in the movies
And on the paper
And in every face I know
I'm trying to forget you
But I can't, girl
True love is not for show
It's gotta be you
No one else can do
all the things you do
It's gotta be you
Give me one more chance
To get next to you
It's gotta be you
(HERBIE):
It's gotta be you
Really what I need
Really what I want
And I really know
I really want you back
You got me like a zombie
Nymphomaniac gettin' numb
So you really miss
My little kitty cat
It's gettin' kind of crazy
Grounds gettin' shaky
Got myself a triple hit
And everything is black
Crowned it like a bomb built me up
And now you're gone
'Cause you let me have a friend
I'm bad, that's a fact
I see you in the movies
And on the paper
And in every face I know
I'm trying to forget you
But I can't girl
True love is not for show
It's gotta be you (it's gotta be you)
No one else can do
all the things you do
It's gotta be you (it's gotta be you)
Give me one more chance
To get next to you
It's gotta be you (it's gotta be you)
I need a second chance
I need sometime to understand
Is this how it all will end
No explanations in your game
Bomb your heads to this, come on you

In 3T's song "Gotta Be You," the singer expresses his longing for an ex-girlfriend who he believes is the only one who can make him feel the way she did. He laments her absence, saying that he sees reminders of her everywhere, but he cannot seem to forget her. In the chorus, he insists that she is the one for him and that no one else can do the things she does. He expresses his desire for another chance to be with her again, to get next to her as he sings "give me one more chance."
There is a verse performed by a rapper, Herbie, who confesses his lust for the girl and how much he misses her as well. He acknowledges that he has been acting erratically and that everything seems to be falling apart since she left. The song ends with the chorus repeating the sentiment that it has to be her, and the singer needs a second chance to understand what went wrong.
