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.
I Wish
Jordan Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I followed every single move you made
And I wonder if you see me stare
I feel so close to you every time you're there
I wish you were mine
Every time I see you walk by
I wish there was time
I wish that I could find the strength
Then I wouldn't feel like this
To have you here right next to me, I wish
To have you here right next to me, I wish
It's getting hard for me to sleep at night
'Cause all I keep thinking about is the look in your eyes
And am I crazy, 'cause we never met before
But it feels like we have
I wish you were mine
Every time I see you walk by
I wish there was time
But the moment never seems to be right
I wish that I could find the strength
Then I wouldn't feel like this
To have you here right next to me, I wish
To have you here right next to me
Oooh yeah
Girl, I wish I had you-so bad
So many times I thought about approachin' you
But I freeze up every time
I wish you were mine
Every time I see you walk by
I wish there was time
But the moment never seems to be right
I wish that I could find the strength
Then I wouldn't feel like this
To have you here right next to me, I wish
To have you here right next to me, I wish

I saw you pass me by just yesterday
I noticed you walking by me yesterday
I followed every single move you made
I observed your every action
And I wonder if you see me stare
I am curious if you notice me looking at you
I feel so close to you every time you're there
I experience a strong connection when you are nearby
I wish you were mine
I desire to be in a relationship with you
Every time I see you walk by
Whenever you pass by me
I wish there was time
I wish we had an opportunity to talk or interact
But the moment never seems to be right
But it always seems like the wrong time to approach you
I wish that I could find the strength
I wish I had the courage to approach you
Then I wouldn't feel like this
Then I wouldn't feel so frustrated and anxious
To have you here right next to me, I wish
I desire to have you by my side
It's getting hard for me to sleep at night
I am finding it difficult to sleep lately
'Cause all I keep thinking about is the look in your eyes
Because I can't stop thinking about the way you looked at me
And am I crazy, 'cause we never met before
I wonder if I am being irrational, since we have never actually met
But it feels like we have
But it seems like we have a connection
Oooh yeah
Expressing excitement, enthusiasm or desire
Girl, I wish I had you-so bad
I wish I had you so badly
So many times I thought about approachin' you
I have considered approaching you many times
But I freeze up every time
But I always get too nervous to go through with it
