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.
So Special
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These four seasons tell it all
Each has a special way
Of saying my love is here to stay
How else can I explain
Then to start with April's rain
Spring is when I first knew
Flowers blooming Bright sunshine
Rainbows shooting across the sky
The sweet fragrance in the air
Reminds me that you care
Your love baby
You love's So Special
Is So Special to me
(Sisqo won't you help me sing)
White sands and the islands breeze
Down on the private beach
Moonlit cruises on the sea
With you next to me
Oh yeah
Summer time said it seems so dear
When fall comes it disappears
Early nights and later days
You would never go away (Oh yeah)
Holidays and special times
I would always sit and cry (Yes I would)
Memories would break me down
When you are not around yeah
Your love
Somebody help me sing it
Is So Special to me
Like the sands by the sea
The words to a melody
Your Love
(Oh, oh, yes I know it)
And baby girl don't you know
That my love will always show
Always
Said I'll always
(Woody take it)
Every time that I close my eyes (Alright)
Pray you'll stay right by my side
Your loves so strong that I just can't hide (Tell me)
Tell me can you feel me know
All I see is you and me
Baby I'm gonna always be
Yours until the end of time
So say that you'll be mine
And no matter what they say

Said always

Your love
Your love Yeah
