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 asked her if she wanted to dance

But I could never take the place of your man

The lyrics of Jordan Knight's song "I Could Never Take The Place Of Your Man" recount a man's encounter with a woman who is still reeling from the pain of being abandoned by her partner. The singer meets her on a Friday night, and as he approaches her, she tells him that she's only looking for a good man to be with. However, as they start to talk, the woman expresses that what she really wants is for someone to take the place of her ex-partner. The singer responds that he can't fill that role, that he's not qualified, and even though he might be suitable for a one-night stand, he could never truly replace the love she lost.
The song expresses a sense of hopelessness and despair that comes with heartbreak, and how difficult it can be to move on from it. The woman is mourning the loss of her partner and the father of her children, and it's clear that her heart is still in pieces. The singer recognizes this and tells her that he can't be a substitute for her ex-partner. No matter how much she may want him to be, he could never take his place. The song is a poignant reminder of the pain and trauma that comes with heartbreak and how difficult it can be to move on from it.

Only last June when her old man ran away
It was just last June that her partner left her
She couldn't stop crying cause she knew he was gone to stay
She couldn't stop crying because she knew he wasn't coming back
10:35 on a lonely Friday night
On a lonely Friday night, it was 10:35
She was standing by the fire and ooh she was looking alright
She was close to the fire and she looked attractive
I asked her if she wanted to dance
I asked her if she wanted to dance with me
And she said that
And she responded by saying that
All she wanted was a good man
What she wanted was a deserving partner
And wanted to know
And she was interested to find out
If I thought I was qualified
If I considered myself eligible for her
And I said baby don't waste your time
Therefore, I said don't even bother
I know what's on your mind
I know what you're thinking
I may be qualified for a one night stand
Even though I am a suitable partner for a single evening
But I could never take the place of your man
I can not replace your ex
It hurt me so bad when she told me with tears in her eyes
It made me feel terrible when she told me with tears in her eyes
He was all she ever had and now she wanted to die
He was everything she had, and now she wanted to give up on life
He left her with a baby and another one on the way
He left her with a child and another one was on the way
She asked me if we could be friends
She requested if we could be just friends
And I said oh honey baby that's a dead end
But I reacted by saying it's a hopeless suggestion
You know and I know
Both you and I are aware
That we wouldn't be satisfied
That we wouldn't be content with just a friendship
Wouldn't be satisfied with a one night stand
I would not be happy with just sex for one evening
And I could never take the place of your man
I could never replace your ex-partner
