Jordan Hill's self-titled debut album appeared on May 21, 1996. Produced by David Foster, Greg Charley, Rhett Lawrence, Jeff Pescetto, SoulShock & Karlin and Mario Winans, this album had the notable production. Jordan covered many songs, such as Cheryl Lynn's disco classic "Got To Be Real", Oleta Adams' "I Just Had To Hear Your Voice" (from 1993's "Evolution" album), Lisa Stansfield's "Make It Right." "For The Love Of You," produced by David Foster and Co-produced by Mario Winans, was release as the first single. It became the minor hit both in Billboard Hot 100 and R&B/Hip charts. However, the remix version by Tony Moran became her one and only Top 10 hit in Hot Dance Music/Club Play charts.
The second single "How Many Times" (which is covered by Aretha Franklin in 1998) and the third single "Too Much Heaven", which is produced by The Bee Gees' Barry Gibb and sang backup, both failed in chart. Due to the poor album sales, 143 Records dropped her.
She still worked with some notable artists, such as The Bee Gees and Jim Brickman, on whose 1999 Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit "Destiny" she was a featured vocalist, along with Billy Porter.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been on my mind
'Cause the last words that I said,
Felt so wrong and so unkind
'Cause you wanted her
And all I wanted was for love
To make us the way we were
What was said and what was done,
Just look what we've become
Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
Make it right
As you close your eyes
Can you hear me praying how
Can two lovers be so blind
It hurts me once again
Just to know that we were once so close
Won't ya help me understand
Can we forgive, can we compromise
Just believe that we can leave it all behind
It's better left if we feel good inside
One up our hearts and forget foolish pride
Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
Make it right
(Are we gonna)
Make it right
(Can you see)
See it in our eyes
(Can we do it)
Do you want to try
(Don't you know I)
Always love you baby
(Give a listen)
To the words I'm saying
(Tell you that it's)
Only love I'm makin'
(All you gotta)
Do is shed your pride
Feel me touch you tenderly
I'm making an apology
Please hold me close tonight
Make it right
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
