Follow-up album 'Into Your Head' introduced a "nu-breed" sound, with the 2002 release having more emphasis on harmonies and a more mellow, adult contemporary like style. Single "Out Of My Heart", also known as "Out Of My Heart (Into Your Head)", hit #22 on the Canadian Singles Chart as well as #20 in the U.S. top 40. Sadly, the group found themselves unfairly saddled with the 'boy band' label, despite their positive critical reviews and songwriting skills, and their success soon faded. The guys broke up in 2003, and they've all gotten involved in making solo material. Still, fans have hoped for years for some kind of reunion. In 2018, those dreams were finally realized, as BBMak reformed and uploaded an acoustic performance of "Back Here" on YouTube. The group followed that up with a reunion tour through the UK and the United States. Their first album in 17 years is set to release during the spring of 2019.
Sooner or Later
BBMak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Have you lost your mind?
You've always been a friend of mine
but you're running out of time
Cause I see what she's thinking
Its like she's had enough
Cause you never took the time to show her love
Sooner or Later you'll learn
Sooner or Later you'll cry
Sooner or Later you'll learn
That you can't live, a day without her...
In your life...
I can still remember
Chasing her around
But the minute that she gave her heart to you
You just threw it on the ground
Sooner or Later you'll learn
Sooner or Later you'll cry
Sooner or Later you'll learn
That you can't live, a day without her...
In your life...
When the lights have all gone down
And the good times disappear
She may not be here...
When you need her...
When you need her...
Sooner or Later you'll learn
Sooner or Later you'll cry
Sooner or Later you'll learn
That you can't live, a day without her...
In your life...
The lyrics to BBMak's song "Sooner or Later" deal with the consequences of neglecting and taking someone you love for granted. The singer, who is a friend of the person being addressed, voices their concern over their friend's behavior towards their girlfriend, citing that the girlfriend is likely close to leaving because she's had enough of being mistreated. The singer then proceeds to reminisce on a time when the friend was chasing after the girlfriend, but after he won her heart, he stopped putting in any effort and threw her love away.
The chorus of the song speaks to the inevitable end that will come if the friend doesn't change his ways - he'll eventually learn the error of his ways and regret losing her, but by then, it might be too late. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, as it brings home the idea that when we take someone for granted, they may not always be around when we need them.
Overall, "Sooner or Later" is a cautionary tale about appreciating those we love and never letting them feel unvalued. It's a reminder that everyone has a limit to how much mistreatment they can endure and that sometimes, we don't know what we have until it's gone.

I don't understand you
I am confused about your behavior
Have you lost your mind?
Are you acting irrational?
You've always been a friend of mine
We have been close for a long time
but you're running out of time
Your actions have consequences
Cause I see what she's thinking
I understand her perspective
Its like she's had enough
She has reached her limit
Cause you never took the time to show her love
You neglected to express love to her
Even when you knew you should
You were aware of what was needed but failed to act
Sooner or Later you'll learn
Eventually you will gain understanding
Sooner or Later you'll cry
Your actions will bring sorrow
That you can't live, a day without her...
You will realize you need her in your life
In your life...
As an integral part of your existence
I can still remember
I recall the past
Chasing her around
Pursuing her affection
But the minute that she gave her heart to you
Once she showed she loved you
You just threw it on the ground
You did not value it and rejected it
When the lights have all gone down
When everything seems dark
And the good times disappear
The happy moments fade away
She may not be here...
She might be absent
When you need her...
When you require her presence
