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.

Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never been loved
Well, I only dreamed about
I wondered what it was
But now I think I know
It's clear to me
You made me understand
I'm so proud to be your man, yes I am
I promise I'll never hurt you
I'll never make you cry, no
I promise I'll never hit you
Cross my heart and hope to die
'Cause I know I'll keep you safe
I'll keep you warm
I'll keep you satisfied
I'll be your sunshine in the morning
Be your everything at night
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise
That I can't keep
That ain't me
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise
That I can't keep
That ain't me
Ain't no way to get around it
Now you're stuck with me, baby, baby
Did you know that you'd be surrounded
By my love and ecstasy
This is the start of one great love affair
That's never ever never gonna end
We can share the world together
Oh, this is where it begun
Oh, girl I'll stand by you
If you give me your hand
I'll make love to you baby
Your every wish is my command
Let's play out your fantasies
oh, I can lose your mind
Take you places you ain't never been before
I promise you it's alright
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise
That I can't keep
That ain't me
You told me what you wanted
I gave you what you need
I told you that I love you
Make it good for you and me
And I never make a promise
That I can't keep
That ain't me
If I make a promise to you
Then baby that's what I'll do
I have nothing to lose
I give my whole world to you
(I'll never make a promise that I can't keep)
I'm a man of my word
For you I'm always concerned
That you'll never be hurt
It's for better or worse
(I'll never make a promise that I can't keep)
