The group formed in 1997 in Orlando for the purposes of performing in a talent show. Three of the group's members had been in a previous vocal harmony group, but the five-member group lost two members, and a fourth was recruited, completing the group's later lineup.
Their performance at the competition resulted in attention from the backers of Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, and soon after a record deal ensued.
Incorporating Latin elements into their dance-pop sound, the group toured America in 1998 and released their debut album, Different Kind of Love, on Sony Records the next year.
Different Kind of Love spawned a radio hit, "Wait Til I Get Home", which peaked at #33 on Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream charts in 1999.
On the strength of the single, Different Kind of Love peaked at #163 on the Billboard Top 200.

but im still cold inside
the touch cant take the loneliness away
with you sleepin in my arms
wanna keep you safe from harm
but I cant protect our love from what my heart has to say
though you still look the other way
I cant go on pretending one more day
Forgive me
cause I never meant to hurt you
I always believed in love
and I only wish that was enough
forgive me
cause I didn't wanna say it
but I cant live a lie
though it breaks my heart to say goodbye
as a tear falls from your eye
you keep asking why
though I know you've held the answer deep inside
you say isn't this worth fighting for
but I cant fight with you at all
time has changed us both
and I cant be the man u want anymore
I just cant look the other way
why would you keep pretending another day
and thought we still have so much love
we couldn't help but grow apart
and there's no way for us to turn back from where we are
so when we walk away
im gonna pray
that one day you will see
Forgive me
cause I never meant to hurt you
I always believed in love
and I only wish that was enough
forgive me
cause I didn't wanna say it
but I cant live a lie
though it breaks my heart to say goodbye
Forgive me
cause I never meant to hurt you
I always believed in love
and I only wish that was enough
forgive me
cause I didn't wanna say it
but I cant live a lie
though it breaks my heart to say goodbye
The song "Forgive Me" by C Note explores the pain and heartbreak that comes with realizing a relationship has run its course. The lyrics paint a picture of a couple who still love each other deeply but are unable to continue their relationship due to personal struggles and changes in their lives. The singer feels the warmth of the morning light but is still cold inside, symbolizing his emotional distance from his partner despite holding her in his arms. He wants to keep her safe from harm but knows he cannot protect their love from what his heart has to say, which is that it is time to let go.
The chorus, "Forgive me, 'cause I never meant to hurt you, I always believed in love, and I only wish that was enough," is a plea for forgiveness for the pain caused by the end of the relationship. Despite the love they share, the singer knows that he cannot continue to live a lie and pretend that everything is okay. He acknowledges that the decision to say goodbye breaks his heart but hopes that one day his partner will understand and forgive him.
Overall, "Forgive Me" is a poignant and relatable exploration of the difficulties that come with the end of a relationship, and the pain and heartbreak that occurs when two people who love each other must part ways.
