Founded and managed by music producer Chris Stokes, they were active from 2001 until 2004 and released two albums, 2001's B2K and 2002's Pandemonium!. They also featured in the film You Got Served as a breakdancing crew, and several songs by the group were featured on the film's soundtrack album. In 2008 there were talks of a reunion, and a new song titled 'Body Up' leaked onto the internet featuring all the members except Omarion, but these rumours have never been confirmed.

Even though they were newcomers to the industry, their first LP, 2002's B2K, became an instant hit. Their second (and final) regular studio album, Pandemonium!, was released in December of the same year, and garned the US #1 hit single "Bump, Bump, Bump" and "Girlfriend". The group was featured regularly on the covers of teen magazines such as Right On! and Word Up, and released a Christmas album in-between their regular two albums entitled Santa Hooked Me Up.

In addition to that, they were featured on the soundtrack album for MGM's film Barbershop and headlined The Scream Tour, their third, in 2003. Marques Houston, Jhene, Mario and Nick Cannon were also performers on The Scream Tour.

Those who were against the california-based boy band often claimed that their music is too mainstream, thus resulting in the boy band garnering nicknames such as, "B2Gay" and "B2Fugly."

In January 2004, Chris Stokes announced that the group had broken up. Three of the members claimed financial mishandling by Stokes' management company, TUG (The Ultimate Group); the fourth member, Omarion, claimed the allegations were untrue.

In the midst of the breakup, Screen Gems's You Got Served, a film starring the members of the group and Omarion's half-brother Marques Houston as breakdancers, went into general release on January 30, 2004, and hitting number one at the box office, earned more money than any other film that opened during a Super Bowl weekend. A number of the group's songs were featured on the film's soundtrack album.

One Kiss
B2K Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was so sincere
The way she grabbed my hand
And introduced herself
Like no one else has done before
And I can't lie, I was hypnotized
By the smile of the talk
And the style of the walk
And when she tried to kiss me I just

(Sighed)said to myself that this can't be
(Real)lied to my mind but my heart it could
(Feel) something was wrong
(Don't worry) that's what she said
(Now I) look back of the night
That changed my
(Life)I remember the things
That made me call at night
And to think that I portrayed me
For one kiss

[Chorus]
One kiss for all my trust
One kiss for all my love
One kiss cause me to break
One kiss I just hate it
One kiss One kiss One kiss
That's where I started feeling
One kiss felt so good
But I never should've had that kiss

I was so far gone
She could do no wrong
Until I caught her in the act
Down right gettin' it on
How could I not see
That eventually she would break my heart
Where did it all start
It started with a little bitty kiss

[Chorus]

Mistook that kiss for kindness
How could I be so blinded
Should've ran instead I
Made it easy
But I won't let my heart get hurt
It was all lesson learned
And the lesson that learned
Was taught to me by one kiss

[Chorus: x3]

I shoulda never had it baby
Oh, no no no no
