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.

Grown folks to the front, oh, she's a supermodel when she's around
In Ginuwine's song "Secrets," the artist observes a woman who catches his eye, admiring her confidence and allure. He sings about how he's drawn to her and wants to be the one to give her all that she's missing. The lyrics suggest that he is actively trying to pursue her attention and affection, imploring her to keep their interactions a secret. The chorus emphasizes Ginuwine's interest in this woman, detailing how he wants to pursue her and keep their relationship under wraps. The song's themes, coupled with its upbeat melody, suggest that it's about the excitement and temptation of a new relationship.
Interestingly, the song was released as part of Ginuwine's album entitled "The Senior," which was released in 2003. This album marked a significant shift in the artist's work, signaling a move away from his successful R&B ballads and toward a more experimental, eclectic sound. "Secrets" showcases that versatility, incorporating elements of funk, soul, and even rock music.
