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.
With or Without You
Dru Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And sleeping "In My Bed"
We "Never Made A Promise"
And "Five Steps"
"So Special" to me
there's so much more to Dru Hill
Than what the eye can see
We want you to know we love you
We want you to know we need you
Where would we be without you
Nowhere nowhere nowhere
You feel it in our music
Because of you we do this
Were never gonna lose it
No way, no way, no way, no way
In Dru Hill's song "Nowhere Without You," the group takes a moment to reflect on their successful music career and acknowledge their fans' role in making that possible. The lyrics mention several of their popular songs, such as "Tell Me," "In My Bed," "Never Made A Promise," and "Five Steps." They thank their fans for the love and support that has allowed them to thrive as a musical group, referring to them as "So Special" and acknowledging that there is much more to Dru Hill than what meets the eye.
As the song progresses, the group becomes more direct in their appreciation, stating that they love and need their fans and would be "Nowhere" without them. This sentiment is echoed in the chorus, where they reaffirm that they will never lose the gratitude and respect that they have for their listeners. The lyrics suggest that the emotions and experiences that inspire their music are all rooted in the connection that they share with their audience.

I love Sisqo and Dru Hill, I have all of Sisqo albums and he became so underrated after his 1st album. That 2nd CD was on point.
