In early 2000, both Roberson and Luckett were replaced with Williams and Farrah Franklin; however, Franklin quit after five months, leaving the group as a trio. Their third album, Survivor (2001), whose themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, produced the worldwide hits "Independent Women", "Survivor" and "Bootylicious. In 2001, they announced a hiatus to pursue solo careers. The trio reunited three years later for the release of their fifth and final studio album, Destiny Fulfilled (2004), which spawned the international hits "Lose My Breath" and "Soldier (feat. T.I. & Lil' Wayne)". Since the group's official disbandment in 2006, Knowles, Rowland and Williams have reunited several times, including at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show and 2018 Coachella festival.
Destiny's Child has sold more than sixty million records worldwide to date. Billboard ranks the group as one of the greatest musical trios of all time, the ninth most successful artist/band of the 2000s, placed the group 68th in its All-Time Hot 100 Artists list in 2008 and in December 2016, the magazine ranked them as the 90th most successful dance club artist of all time. The group was nominated for 14 Grammy Awards, winning twice for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and once for Best R&B Song.
Love
Destiny's Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a real man, I had given up on love
I didn't think a good man existed in this world
I was tired of searching
Because relationships I've dealt with in the past
Couldn't fathom being monogamous
And when I least expected it I found you
And because of you, I know how it feels to be
(Loved) and when I look into your eyes I see (love)
We pillow talk at night and I can hear your (love)
Oh, the next morning we make (love)
I'm so in love
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
Open the path to happiness (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I thank God for you
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
I trust you, just guide me, take my hand (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
Now it's been three years since we've been in love
And you keep doing things that show you're proud of
Thirty beauties in the room, only me you see
The confidence you give lives in me
I vow to never break your heart
I'll never let you down
For better or worse, I'll always be around
And with you here to share my life, so complete
And because of you I know how it feels to be
(Loved) and when I look into your eyes I see (love)
We pillow talk at night and I can hear your (love)
Oh, the next morning we make (love)
I'm so in love
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
Open the path to happiness (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I thank God for you
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
I trust you, just guide me, take my hand (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
I thank God for you
Your love's amazing
Hail, like the rain it fell on me (fell on me)
Wanting it more and more 'cause
Your love's in the air, I breathe
Lying beside me
You see into the soul of me (see into the soul of me)
And your spirit sets me free
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
Open the path to happiness (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I thank God for you
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
I trust you, just guide me, take my hand (yeah, yeah) (all my trust in you)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I love you (I love you), I love you (I love you)
Through you, I live and love again (yeah) (make me feel so loved)
Open the path to happiness (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again
I thank God for you (God made me for you)
Through you, I live and love again (yeah)
I trust you, just guide me, take my hand (yeah, yeah)
Through you, I learn to smile again

The production gave her voice justice in this album, although she can sing she would sound awkward in "The Writings On The Wall" or the self titled.
