He released his eponymous solo album in 1999, which was certified Gold by the RIAA in 2000 for sales of over 500,000 copies in the US. The album included his only top-ten hit, Give It To You (which sold over 1 Million certified copies), which was nominated for a 1999 MTV Video Music Award for Best Dance Video. However, he didn't win, and when the award was sent out, the song slipped all the way down. The album Jordan Knight won an Aspire Music Award for Best Male Album (Pop). He became a father on August 25, 1999 to a son, Dante Jordan.
In 2005, Knight appeared on the British show "Hit Me Baby One More Time", where he performed Give It To You, as well as a cover of Let Me Love You by Mario.
He continues to tour extensively in the year 2005/2006 promoting his new EP The Fix, as well as his long awaited second album.
Change My Ways
Jordan Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I got a lot to mend
I drank a thousand nights
I had a million friends
I watched the world go round
At speeding light and then
Sometimes she walks the hall
No other woman get to me the way you do
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Make me your lover
I'll make your dreams come true
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Sometimes it takes a light
To see the room you're in
You got it all around
You recognize the sun
I don't want to use the sun
To melt away my blues
I need you to keep me warm
And give me something true
No other woman get to me the way you do
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Make me your lover
I'll make your dreams come true
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
I've seen the crystal ball
And I got a lot to mend
Do you save a helpless flame
Or rather watch it burn
I need to read from you
'Cause I gotta lot to learn
No other woman get to me the way you do
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you
Make me your lover
I'll make your dreams come true
Baby I would change my ways
If I could be with you

Line by Line Meaning
I've seen the crystal ball
I have a sense of what's to come and I know I need to make changes in my life
And I got a lot to mend
I recognize that I have areas of my life that need improvement
I drank a thousand nights
I've spent a lot of time partying and not being productive
I had a million friends
I've had a lot of acquaintances, but not necessarily true friends
I watched the world go round
I've observed the world and its cycles
At speeding light and then
At a fast pace that's difficult to keep up with
Sometimes she walks the hall
Sometimes the woman I love is near me, just out of reach
I hope it never ends
I'm afraid of losing this person from my life
No other woman get to me the way you do
I've never felt this way about anyone else
Baby I would change my ways
I'm willing to make significant changes to be with this person
If I could be with you
If there's a chance for us to be together
Make me your lover
Let me be your partner
I'll make your dreams come true
I'll do everything in my power to make you happy
Sometimes it takes a light
Sometimes it takes an outside influence to see things clearly
To see the room you're in
To recognize your surroundings and situation
You got it all around
You have everything going for you
You recognize the sun
You appreciate the good things in life
I don't want to use the sun
I don't want to rely solely on good times to make me happy
To melt away my blues
To forget my sorrows
I need you to keep me warm
I need your love and comfort
And give me something true
I want an authentic relationship
Do you save a helpless flame
Do you hold onto something that's not meant to be?
Or rather watch it burn
Or let it go even if it's painful?
I need to read from you
I need to know your feelings
'Cause I gotta lot to learn
I know I still have a lot to figure out in this relationship
