After the release of their fourth album Celebrity, the members of 'N Sync decided to take some time to pursue their own interests. After recording the single "Blowin' Me Up (With Her Love)" for the soundtrack of the Drumline motion picture, released in December, 2002, Chasez decided to record a solo album.
His debut solo album, Schizophrenic, was released on February 24, 2004.
Chasez appears on Basement Jaxx's album Kish Kash (2003) as vocalist for the song "Plug it In," produced by the Jaxx. They returned the favor by producing the track "Shake It" for Schizophrenic. Chasez also collaborated with well-known DJ/composer BT on BT's 2003 album Emotional Technology, where he provided backup vocals on the track "Somnambulist" and "The Force of Gravity". It was his second time working with Brian "BT" Transeau, as he produced the 'N Sync hit "Pop".
Chasez contributes backing vocals on two songs he co-wrote with Eric Bazilian (of The Hooters) and Jonatha Brooke on Brooke's 2007 album Careful What You Wish For.
Chasez is currently in the studio finishing his second album, Kate, which is scheduled to be released in 2008, with producers such as Dallas Austin, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake and Billy Steinberg appearing on the album. Chasez has described his new sound as IPM (Intelligent Pop Music). Tracks that will appear on Chasez's second album are rumored to include: "You Ruined Me," "Until Yesterday", "God Bless America", and "Better With You". The latter three tracks were co-written and produced with Justin Timberlake. Other tracks include "Fire", produced by Timbaland; "Fuck with My Mind" produced by Dallas Austin; and Billy Steinberg on "I'm Not Sleeping Alone."
Presently Chasez can be found as one of three hosts on MTV's hit reality series, "America's Best Dance Crew" airing Thursday nights at 10PM.
100 Ways
JC Chasez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just speak your mind
Speak your mind
Speak your mind
Gave me a call after working all day
Tell you "head on over, over to my place"
You're feeling sexy, cause you just got a raise
But you don't know what to say
Girl, speak your mind
100 ways
It's better for ya
Don't be ashamed
Just speak your mind
Tell me what you like
Don't hold back now
Time to play
Dripped through the hallways cause we started in the shower
(Not 99, not 98)
We didn't finish 'til we hit the kitchen counter
(I'll make love to ya, in 100 ways)
You got me curious, I want to know your game
(Know your game)
It's really simple girl, our goals are both the same
(Both the same)
Send me on a bottle rocket straight up into space
(Into space)
You're so outrageous, I'm so glad that you came
Speak your mind
100 ways
It's better for ya
Don't be a slave
Just speak your mind
Tell me what you like
Don't hold back now
It feels so right
Dripped through the hallways cause we started in the shower
(Not 99, not 98)
We didn't finish 'til we hit the kitchen counter
(I'll make love to ya, in 100 ways)
Woke up next to you
You were lying fast asleep
Didn't think to wake you
You were all up in my dreams
She had, no makeup, no toothpaste
I don't want to wait
'Cause she's such a sexy dame
I just can't control my thang
Come here closer
Let me give it to ya
Want to sneak up on ya girl
Wanna...
Uh
Like this
Just like this
Like this, uh
Don't won't that animal inside you be contained
(To be contained)
I'll be your Superman
You play Lois Lane
(Yeah yeah yeah)
Dip you in chocolate
Even though you taste good plain
(Taste good plain, plain, plain, plain, plain) Bite you in the center
Sweetest fields of sugarcane
Dripped through the hallways cause we started in the shower
(Not 99, not 98)
We didn't finish 'til we hit the kitchen counter
(I'll make love to ya, in 100 ways, girl)
In the middle of the day babe
(Any time you need me)
Hit me up on your lunch break
(It's so much fun being naughty)
Got to get you, don't stay late
(You're a centerfold baby)
Adjust the button fly on my Levi's when you walked into the door
Standing 5'9" with legs high as the sky down to the floor
There's a fire burning deep inside ya
That you can't ignore
And all the crazy things you say to me
Just makes me want you more
Got to...
Girl you know I love ya
(Listen to ya)
I want you to believe
(I'm tired of talking about it)
I just want to lay you down
(I want to slide up right up on ya)
And help you blow off steam
(Let's get our hands dirty)
The playa's(?) crazy
(I want to show ya)
And though she always came across it she was tame
(Girl you know I love ya)
100 ways is what it takes to feed her craving
(I'm going downtown where it's business as usual)
Not 99, not 98
I'll make love to ya
In 100 ways
Know it takes awhile to go through all the different ways
(One hundred positions, we'll go through them all)
But I can't think of a better way I'd like to spend the day so
(With no intermissions, until you get off)
Turn of your cell phone and crack out the Gatorade
(One hundred positions, we'll go through them all)
Cause it's time to get to business and there's nothing left to say
(With no intermissions, until you get off)
Why chase the clouds we lay upon, love be set free
(Be set free)
So if you're ready lets get on with our release
(Talk to me)
Speak your mind
100 ways
(100 ways)
It's better for ya
(Come here girl)
Don't be a slave
(That's right)
Speak your mind X 4
The song "100 Ways" by JC Chasez is about a sexual encounter between two individuals who previously had inhibitions about expressing themselves. The song starts with the artist encouraging the girl to speak her mind and to not be ashamed of what she wants during their encounter. The chorus emphasizes that they should both be open about their desires and what they like, urging the girl to tell the artist what she wants in bed.
The verses of the song describe the sexual encounter, from starting in the shower to finishing on the kitchen counter. The lyrics also express the desire for experimentation in the bedroom, with the artist comparing himself to Superman and the girl to Lois Lane. The bridge, where Chasez compares the girl to a centerfold and himself to a fire burning inside her, further emphasizes the intense sexual nature of the encounter.
Overall, the song is about breaking down personal inhibitions and being open and honest about desires in a sexual encounter, leading to a satisfying experience for both parties.
