The group is comprised of Tony Borowiak, Jamie Jones, Delious Kennedy, and Alfred Nevarez. All of them were from the Mojave, California City, and Hesperia areas of California. As stated before, they are best known for "I Swear", which was also nominated for Song Of The Year at the Grammys (as was the single "I Can Love You Like That", another remake of a Montgomery country song, the following year). All-4-One almost became transatlantic chart toppers, blocked only by Wet Wet Wet's cover "Love Is All Around" (originally by The Troggs) for the soundtrack to the 1994 film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' (that cover spent 15 weeks at number one in the U.K. Singles Chart).
Many people often mistake All-4-One songs for those done by Boyz II Men, another popular 90s R&B group. This is due to their very similar music style as well as the fact that both artists had the height of their popularity in around 1994 or so. At any rate, All-4-One achieved considerable airplay for years afterwards.
However, declining sales led to the group leaving the Atlantic Records label after the release of the album 'On and On' in 1999. Still, even the shift in labels did not help shore up the group's flagging popularity, as the follow-up album, 'A41', and its lead single "Not Ready 4 Goodbye" both failed to chart in the U.S. (although their next single, "Beautiful As You", was a minor Adult Contemporary hit). Their 2004 album, titled 'Split Personality', was given an Asia-only release.
All-4-One later signed a new record deal with the label Peak Concord. Their seventh album (and, to date, their latest), titled 'No Regrets', came out in September 2009. That release is perhaps best known for featuring the song "Key to Your Heart". As well, the group's iconic singles "I Swear" and "I Can Love You Like That" have continued to receive airplay and praise over the years.

Goin' Crazy
All-4-One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Shooting out the sprinter bullets beat em to the finish line
If you say down, ain't no was , ain't no finna slide
Yeen know this drum put up 50 in his fitted huh
I'm something like a beast you can call me Kevin Wendell Crumb
Hocus Pocus niggas disappearing like Houdini huh
Choppa blowing holes the proportion of propellers boy
Better settle down cause you the type to go & tell it boy
Hell Cat brought out just to tear up the streets
On I-95 tearing up the concrete
I Feel like Knievel the way I do stunts
Laws see smoke cookie & exhale the crumbs
Been trapping so long all I know is a bell
Givenchy my luggage & Goyard is my belt
Won't put a price on ya I'll do it myself
I'm on most wanted posters just like the cartel
Alla bitches love seeing Tino
That pretty chocolate nigga with the braces
Yea there he go
He bout to go on Live girl I needa put on make up
They say the nigga married with a baby getting paper
He only answer questions bout some features or some paper
Entertaining bitches ain't some shit that he relate to
Jitt a rather starve than invite you to the table
He shootings bitches down like when the Army see a Spaceship
I'm tryna fold a nigga top back like he a convertible
Dump the body with gators when asked then I never heard of you
Which one of you bitch niggas said that Tino wasn't versatile
I'm going crazy on the verses pick the one you want to murder you
& Beat a nigga with my ice to add to when I'm hurting you
Then hop up inna booth & put you in fucking a verse or two
Dissect the beat like its a fucking open hearted surgery
Who is left to stand when they close the fucking curtains G
I'm whooping niggas ass well oops I mean they posterior
In the foreign doing the dash with the wood grain interior
I hear you niggas talking but I'm the type to go & finish em
Going baby like I'm baby when it comes to gettin figures
Ain't the type a nigga to brag like most of these other niggas
But I been a chasing a bagg fuck dealing with petty bitches
Ain't a plane but imma crash kamikaze yo location
Then go kick it with guys & laugh bout what I just did to ya
Aye aye aye going crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy
Top of line models been fucking on em daily
Broke my wrist inna kitchen with chains on like I'm slaving
My reflection perfected you can see that a nigga made it
Off the slightest I'm crashing harder than Paul Walker
Aye Capone cut the power while I set fire inna basement
& Skoob walk them bitches down while they all escaping
