Unlike most boy bands, they formed independently and were later picked up by a record label, rather than being assembled by a label or a producer. They have sold over 10 million records worldwide and achieved eight top 40 singles in the U.S. In the late 90s to the early 00s, the group reached top-five on the Billboard Hot 100 with the songs "Give Me Just One Night (Una Noche)", "Because of You", "The Hardest Thing" and "Thank God I Found You" (with Mariah Carey and Joe); the latter as featured artists, topping the chart also making it their first and only number-one song.
The group reunited for a one-time performance at Mixtape Festival in Hershey, PA in August 2012. After the performance, the reunion expanded into a new album and a spot on "The Package" tour in 2013.
Because Of You
98º Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're my sunshine after the rain
You're the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I'm losing my mind
When you're not around
It's all, it's all
It's all because of you
Oh yeah
Baby I really know by now
Since we met that day
You showed me the way
I felt it then you gave me love
I can't describe
How much I feel for you
I said baby I should have known by now
Should have been right there
Whenever you gave me love
And if only you were here
I'd tell you, yes I'd tell you
Oh yeah
You're my sunshine after the rain
You're the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I'm losing my mind
When you're not around
It's all, it's all
It's all because of you
Honestly, could it be you and me
Like it was before
Neither less or more
Cause when I close my eyes
At night I realize that no one else
Could ever take your place
I still can feel and it's so unreal
When you're touching me Kisses endlessly
It's just a place in the sun
Where our love's begun
I miss you, yes I miss you
You're my sunshine after the rain
You're the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I'm losing my mind
When you're not around
It's all, it's all
It's all because of you
If I knew how to tell you
What's on my mind
Make you understand
Then I'd always be there
Right by your side
You're my sunshine after the rain
You're the cure against my fear and my pain
‘Cause I'm losing my mind
When you're not around
It's all, it's all
It's all because of you

I'm 43, grew up on boy bands, one of my all time favorite songs. I was in 7th grade when this came out, I was the only athlete who loved to sing boy bands out loud or to myself, then 8th grade hit and I was finally got caught singing by my teammates and classmates, best part I heard was hearing them saying dont stop. Now at 43 with my life on hold cause I was diagnosed with Chronic leukemia, it makes me smile with tears down my eyes, knowing life so precious this is my best therapy to get through
