The main lead singer for Jodeci and the second lead singer for K-Ci and JoJo, much of K-Ci's performance and singing style, defined by an emotive, gospel-flavored rasp, is inspired by soul star Bobby Womack. K-Ci covered Womack's 1981 hit single "If You Think You're Lonely Now" as a single for the Jason's Lyric soundtrack in 1994.
As Womack inspired him, K-Ci inspired another R&B star, Mark "Sisqó" Andrews of the late-1990s R&B group Dru Hill. However, Sisqó and Dru Hill were initially blamed, including by K-Ci himself, of not just using his style as an inspiration, but of outright copying it to fuel their own success.
Between 1992 and 1997, K-Ci had a much-publicized romantic relationship with R&B singer and Uptown Records labelmate Mary J. Blige. Both artists perform on "I Don't Want To Do Anything" from Blige's What's the 411? album, and Blige often toured with Jodeci. Blige and K-Ci split up in 1997; Blige has gone on record a number of times stating that the split was because of alleged domestic violence and drug use.
In 1993, K-Ci and fellow Jodeci member DeVante Swing were involved in an incident with a woman K-Ci met in a club. They later went back to Devante's house. The woman filed charges against the two saying K-Ci fondled her breasts while Devante pointed a gun at her.
In 1999, K-Ci provided vocals for the Will Smith single "Will 2K".
In 2001, K-Ci got into more trouble with the law as he was charged with indecent exposure after he fondled his erect and exposed penis at a show in Los Angeles. He pleaded no contest, paid a fine, and was put on probation.
He now resides in Charlotte, North Carolina with his mother and brother JoJo in a mansion which was shown on MTV Cribs in 2000.

Dancing On My Own
K-Ci Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up in a dark ass empty room
With nothing to do
Stuck at home wishing that
I was with you
It just feels like forever
Can’t wait to start again
I’d even wish that school was open
Every single every hour of the day
I’ve been going crazy
I’ve got no plans and
I can’t go do what I want
But it is what it is and I’ll
Deal with what I got
Dancing in my room by myself today
Dancing in my room by myself today
Dancing in my room by myself today
Dancing in my room by myself today
Dancing in my room by myself today
The lyrics of K-Ci's song "Dancing On My Own" provide a glimpse into the life of someone who is experiencing the isolation and loneliness of being stuck at home. The singer wakes up in a dark and empty room and wishes that they could be with someone special. Each day feels mundane and similar to the one before it. The singer longs for the routine and structure of school, just so they can see the person they miss again.
The lyrics illustrate how the singer is struggling with their current situation. They feel like they are going crazy from the lack of stimulation and opportunities to do what they want. However, the singer accepts the reality of their situation and resolves to make the best of it. They start dancing on their own in their room, trying to find joy and escape from their loneliness. The lyrics of the song capture the universal experience of feeling trapped and isolated, and the struggle to find ways to cope with difficult situations.
Line by Line Meaning
Each day kinda feels the same
Every day feels monotonous and repetitive
Wake up in a dark ass empty room
Waking up alone in a disheartening environment
With nothing to do
Boredom and lack of activities
Stuck at home wishing that I was with you
Desiring companionship and missing someone
It just feels like forever
The feeling of time moving slowly
Can’t wait to start again
Anticipation for the future
I’d even wish that school was open just to see you again
Desperate longing to be with someone, even if it means going to school
Every single every hour of the day
Constantly and without end
I’ve been going crazy
Feeling overwhelmed and losing one's mind
I’ve got no plans and I can’t go do what I want
Feeling trapped and unable to make choices
But it is what it is and I’ll deal with what I got
Accepting the current situation and making the best of it
Dancing in my room by myself today
Finding solace in personal expression
Dancing in my room by myself today
Finding comfort in solitude
Dancing in my room by myself today
Using physical movement as a release
Dancing in my room by myself today
Embracing independence and self-reflection
Dancing in my room by myself today
Creating a moment of joy amidst the hardships

Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Baby, you told me that you love me and you never leave my side
Through the bitter end, through the thick and thin
You promised me baby, that you wasn't going anywhere, yes you did
Baby, keep it real, let me know just how you feel
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love (special love) last forever more
I can't explain the way you made me feel
Every time that you told me that you loved me
And you know you did
Too many times
Just when I thought that love could never be a part of me
That's when you came along, you showed me happiness
Baby you are the best, I think you're different from the rest
And I really love you
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that I feel
Tell me it's real
For your love I will do anything
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
This feeling that we feel
Tell me that it's real
Don't let love come just to pass us by
Try, it's all we have to do
It's up to me and you
To make this special love last forever more
Tell me it's real
(I'll be there for you, baby)
This feeling that we feel
(If you be there for me, sweetheart)
Tell me that it's real
(I thought that we were meant to be)
Don't let love come just to pass us by
(For eternity, I thought you loved me baby)
Try, it's all we have to do
(And mama told me take it slow)
(Boy you just don't know, anything about love)
It's up to me and you
(If you and I were meant to be)
To make this special love last forever more
(Then you would know, you'll be sure by the end of the song)
