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.

The song "We'll Meet Again" by Blackstreet talks about the inevitability of leaving this world, but the hope of meeting again in the afterlife. The song speaks about how everyone has to say goodbye to this world and move on to the next, but there is a comforting sense that we will meet again. The lyrics are particularly meaningful because they express the idea that death is not the end and that the people whom we have lost still exist in some way in our lives. The lines "I guess it's time for me to leave, I guess it's time for me to go" repeatedly signify that the singer is about to depart, but there is hopeful anticipation for the next chapter of their journey.
The chorus of the song is particularly powerful. It reiterates the theme of the song, emphasizing that we will meet again, and over on the other show. These words suggest that there is a new platform where we can once more see the people we have lost, which is a comforting thought. The lyrics then move on to imagine meeting one's loved ones in heaven, the "other show," and experiencing the joy of this reunion. The song's lyrics have a spiritual tone, communicating that there is something after this life, and in time, we will all join our loved ones again.
