Ginuwine can be spotted in one of Jodeci's videos. There, he met rapper Missy Elliott and producer "Timbaland", who became his main collaborators through the 1990s. Ginuwine's first single, the 1996 " Pony" from Ginuwine...The Bachelor, showcased his smooth vocals and Timbaland's innovative production style, and the two became a hit-making duo.
After his second album, 100% Ginuwine, released in 1999, Ginuwine and Timbaland grew apart, and producers such as R. Kelly have crafted hits for him since then. In 2001, Ginuwine had a number-four hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with the single " Differences", which also peaked at number-one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. In 2002, Ginuwine was a feature artist on P. Diddy's number-one hit "I Need a Girl (Part II)".
Ginuwine's fifth album, Back II Da Basics, was released on November 15, 2005. The album debuted at number 12 on the Billboard 200, selling close to 100,000 copies. Ginuwine stated on BET's Top 100 countdown that the album went Gold with sales of 500,000 copies.
In May 2007, an album entitled I Apologize was released in stores. Although attributed to Ginuwine, the release was an unauthorized album and only included three Ginuwine songs - apparently from stolen masters - and ten songs by other artists. Ginuwine spoke against the unofficial release on both his MySpace page and through YouTube.
Ginuwine's sixth album entitled A Man's Thoughts, was released on June 23, 2009. Ginuwine formed a group with Tank and Tyrese named TGT. Their first single was a remix of Tank's "Please Don't Go". They were supposed to tour but plans fell apart due to conflicting schedules.
Ginuwine announced on his Myspace Blog on August 21, 2008 that due to label and legal issues they will not be able to release an official TGT album. Ginuwine is the founder and CEO of LoveSong Incorporated, after completing his contract with 550 Music/Epic. Ginuwine announced on his Myspace blog on August 21, 2008 that he signed a major label deal with Notifi Records/Warner Brothers.

Ginuwine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know that only means one thing, thing, thing, thing
You must be reading my mind
'Cause I been thinking 'bout the same thing, thing, thing
Before we start tonight can we do something different,
Can we use our imaginations?
I'll be another guy, you can be another woman
Kidnapped
I'm a dress up like a robber and wear all black
Nobody's gonna find out where I hid you at
You'll get abducted and be my hostage
Let's play a game tonight
I just wanna take it there,
Blindfolds no lights on in here, in here, in here
You and me in here, in here
And I'm touching you in ways
That I'm wanting to, wanting to, I'm warning you
Before we start tonight can we do something different,
Can we use our imaginations?
I'll be another guy, you can be another woman
Oh wait there's an idea, I'm a criminal and girl you go and get
Kidnapped
I'm a dress up like a robber and wear all black
Nobody's gonna find out where I hid you at
You'll get abducted and be my hostage
Let's play a game tonight
Never gonna let you go
I don't care how much they pay me, pay me, pay me, pay me
Grab the camera and set the scene,
Come on girl let's make a movie, movie, movie, movie
And girl you go and get
Kidnapped
I'm a dress up like a robber and wear all black
Nobody's gonna find out where I hid you at
You've been abducted and be my hostage
Let's play a game tonight
Kidnapped
I'm a dress up like a robber and wear all black
Nobody's gonna find out where I hid you at
You've been abducted and be my hostage
Let's play a game tonight
The song “Kidnapped” by Ginuwine is a playful and suggestive tune that explores the idea of role-playing and fantasy within a sexual relationship. The lyrics convey a scenario where the singer and their partner decide to engage in a game of being kidnapped for sexual pleasure. The opening lines describe it as "something different" before launching into a description of how the game will work. The singer suggests that they will dress up as a robber and hide their partner before making them their hostage.
The chorus repeats the word "kidnapped" several times with the additional idea of making a movie of the encounter. This song, therefore, seems to be addressing the idea of exploring fantasies within a consensual relationship. The words “You got that look in your eyes, I know that only means one thing” imply that both partners are on board with the idea, and it is not something forced on one partner or the other.
Through the lyrics, Ginuwine is suggesting that there is a space within a relationship for exploring role-play, fantasy, and other similar ideas. It is a playful and sensual song that highlights that there is a time and place for exploring different aspects of a relationship. Ultimately, it is a song that celebrates the erotic possibilities of connection with another person.

I sense your desire through the expression in your eyes
I know that only means one thing, thing, thing, thing

Can we try something new before we engage in our usual activities?
