Blackstreet has also collaborated with Jay-Z on his single "The City is Mine". With the help of the Janet Jackson single "Girlfriend", Blackstreet finally had a top ten album with Finally. But personnel shifts wracked the group and contributed to the relative failure of Finally in 1999, and Blackstreet soon broke up. After rumors of legal action and a preemptive countersuit, the group reformed and released Level II in 2003.

Yo, girl
I take a shower and I think about you
I put on my clothes and I think about you (yeah, yeah)
I read the paper, I think about you
Fix my dinner and I think about you

Put on my clothes and I think about you (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Read the paper and I think about you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Fix my dinner and I think about you (mm)
Lay in bed and I think about you (I think about you)
What I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna do
I heard it's said that distance make the hearts grow closer
Well, I will never get over the way we 'bout that night
And I want to get it back
