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.
Invisible Man
98º Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always makes your heart skip a beat
Every time he walks by
And if you feeling down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close
When you're makin' love
Oh baby
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man
You probably spend hours on the phone
Talkin' 'bout nothing at all
It doesn't matter what the conversation
Just as long as he called
Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
You wipe away each other's tears
Your face lights up
Whenever he appears
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man
I see you all the time baby
The way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess I'll never be
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man
The 98º song "Invisible Man" is a sad and hopeless love song about unrequited love. The singer is in love with someone, but that person is in love with someone else. The person they are in love with is always talking about someone else - their perfume, the way they kiss, how they make them feel - and the singer is left feeling like they don't exist. The love the other person feels is all-encompassing, with talk of picking each other up when feeling down, holding each other close, and wiping away each other's tears.
The singer wishes that the person they love would look at them the way they look at the person they are currently in love with. The singer's love for the other person is so strong that they see them all the time, but the other person does not notice them. The refrain "Baby to you all I am, is the invisible man" sums up the feelings of the singer. The person they love looks right through them, never acknowledging their existence, and they feel like they are nothing.
In conclusion, "Invisible Man" by 98º is a poignant song about unrequited love. The lyrics speak to the feeling of being invisible when you desperately want to be seen, and the hopelessness that can come with it.

Talkin' 'bout nothing at all
Although the conversation might not be important, it's still enjoyable
It doesn't matter what the conversation
The subject of your discussion is not important
Just as long as he called
The important thing is that he reached out to you
Lost in a love so real
You are completely immersed in a deep and true love
And so sincere
It's not just a physical attraction, but a genuine emotional connection
You wipe away each other's tears
You both offer emotional support and comfort to each other
Your face lights up
You show excitement and happiness on your face
Whenever he appears
Every time he shows up, you feel joy
I see you all the time baby
I observe you constantly
The way you look at him
Your gaze towards him is intense and filled with love
I wish it was me sweetheart
I wish I was the one you looked at that way
But I guess I'll never be
However, I know that won't happen

"Invisible Man"
You can hardly
wait to tell all your friends
How his kisses taste sweet like wine
And how he always
makes your heart skip a beat
Every time he walks by
And if you're feeling down
He'll pick you up
He'll hold you close when
you're makin' love
He's everything
you've been dreaming of
Oh baby
I wish you'd look at me that way
Your beautiful eyes
lookin' deep into mine
Telling me more than
any words could say
But you don't even know I'm alive
Baby to you all I am
Is the invisible man
You probably spend
hours on the phone
Talkin' 'bout nothing at all
It doesn't matter
what the conversation
Just as long as he called
Lost in a love so real
And so sincere
You wipe away each other's tears
Your face lights up
whenever he appears
I see you all the time baby
The way you look at him
I wish it was me sweetheart
Boy I wish it was me
But I guess I'll never be...
