Founded in Baltimore, Maryland, and active since 1992, Dru Hill recorded seven Top 40 hits, and is best known for the R&B #1 hits "In My Bed", "Never Make a Promise", and "How Deep Is Your Love". The group consists of lead singer Mark "Sisqó" Andrews (who went on to have a successful solo career), Tamir "Nokio" Ruffin and, Larry "Jazz" Anthony, and James "Woody Rock" Green.

Signing to Island Records through Haqq Islam's University Records imprint, the group released two successful albums, Dru Hill and Enter the Dru, before separating for a period from late 1999 to 2002, during which time Sisqó and Woody released solo albums. While Woody's Soul Music LP was a moderate success in the gospel music industry, Sisqó's debut album, Unleash the Dragon, and its hit singles, "Thong Song" and "Incomplete", were major pop successes, and established Sisqó as a household name outside Dru Hill. Sisqó's second album, Return of Dragon, did not sell as well.

In 2002, by then part of the Def Soul record label, the group reunited and added fifth member Rufus "Scola" Waller to the lineup for their third album, Dru World Order, whose underperformance led to the group being dropped from Def Soul. In 2009, the group signed to Kedar Entertainment Group and released their fourth album, InDRUpendence Day, the following year, with new member Tao taking the place of the again departed Woody.

I'll Be
Dru Hill Lyrics

I'll be the one
I'll be the one
I heard a rumor there's a vacancy
Somebody said he put you down

Seems he found pleasure in some other girl
Baby he's dogging you around
So now you're looking for a special guy
Someone that you can call your boo

A man that cares about your feelings girl
A man to just be good to you
Well

I'll be the one making you feel alright
I'll be the one doing the things you like
I'll be the one keeping you up at night
I'll be the lover in your life
I'll be the one you're gonna want to call, yeah
I'll be the one making you climb the walls
I'll be the one gon have you beggin me
I'll be the one, the one you need

You gave him seven years of your life
To think about it makes you cry
Why don't you come with me
I'll make it right

Let's bump that nigga outta your mind
Let's take a ride baby, no special place, yeah
Somewhere where we can be alone, hey
Take off our clothes and let our feelings flow

I want to groove you all night long
I'll be the one

I'll be the one making you feel alright
I'll be the one doing the things you like
I'll be the one keeping you up at night
I'll be the lover in your life
I'll be the one you're gonna want to call, yeah
I'll be the one making you climb the walls
I'll be the one gon have you beggin me
I'll be the one, the one you need

Here's the thing you should know about me, yeah
Jazz is the man when it comes to ladies
I know what I want
Baby I'm keepin' it real, said real babe

Ain't no him now that you're with me
That's the way that its gotta be
If you're down, then be down
Don't be playin' around with my heart, oh no
Ill be the one

I'll be the one making you feel alright
I'll be the one doing the things you like
I'll be the one keeping you up at night
I'll be the lover in your life
I'll be the one you're gonna want to call, yeah
I'll be the one making you climb the walls
I'll be the one gon have you beggin me
I'll be the one, the one you need

I'll be the one
I'll be the one
