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.

Love Is More Than Just a Four Letter Word
All-4-One Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to be alone
Said I need someone to hold on tight
Get ready for this magical ride
Helplessly I'm falling so deep
What am I supposed to do
Love's too big a word, baby to hold inside
Love is more than just another four letter word
Can't fight the feeling, no matter what you do
Love is more than just another four letter word
If you're not careful, it's gonna get you too
Today were together, tomorrow we're apart
This how our daily life goes
It really doesn't matter, baby, what's going on
We're still in love, everyone knows
If I need a helping hand I can count on you
Mornin' noon or evenin' time, it's always the same
You'll always be there, I can count on you
Love is more than just another four letter word
Can't fight the feeling no matter what you do
Love is more than just another four letter word
If you're not careful, it's gonna get you too
Love is more than just another four letter word
Can't fight the feeling no matter what you do
Love is more than just another four letter word
If you're not careful, it's gonna get you too
I wanted to talk to you, pick up the phone
I don't want to be alone
Said I need someone to hold on tight
Get ready for this magical ride
Helplessly I'm falling so deep
What am I supposed to do
Love's too big a word, baby to hold inside
I tried and tried, but I just can't find the love
Love is more than just another four letter word
Love is more than just another four letter word
Love is more than just another four letter word
Love is more than just another four letter word
