The group's debut, 'Junkanoo', was released in 1992, and it was very traditional in its sound. They soon began aiming their music at a more mainstream pop and dance music audience, however, and the Baha Men finally succeeded in breaking through with their 2000 remake of "Who Let the Dogs Out?", originally composed by Anslem Douglas.

That track won a Grammy Award and became an international 40 hit in many countries while also being featured in several films. Later singles with significant airplay include "You All Dat", "Move It Like This", and "Best Years of Our Lives" among others. Yet their commercial fortunes came in fits and starts after the 2002 album 'Move It Like This'. While barely releasing any more material, they toured often during the past decade, finally becoming a dormant project over the past several years as its members pursued other endeavors. This changed in October 2015 when a rejuvenated group released the album 'Ride With Me'.

I Thank Heaven
Baha Men Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heaven has already granted me my wish
Still I never thought it would be as pleasant as this
Though you have no wings like the angels up above
You have a heavenly smile and also the gift of love
I promise to love you in everything I do
and know that you love me to

And I, I, I thank heaven

Darling I, I, I thank heaven
For sending you here to fill my loneliness
And to fill my lonely heart with love

And I am going to get down on my knees everyday
and thank heaven
For what he sent to me today
I promise to love you in everything I do
And know that you love me to

And I, I, I thank heaven
Oh, I, I, I thank heaven
Darling I, I, I thank heaven
For sending you here to fill my loneliness
And to fill my lonely heart with love

Oh, I, I, I thank heaven
Darling I, I, I thank heaven
Said I am going to get down on my knees
I am going to thank him for what he sent to me

For sending you here, to fill my loneliness
To fill my lonely heart with love
