K-Ci and JoJo's first sign of independence came in 1994 when K-Ci covered Bobby Womack's hit "If You Think You're Lonely Now" for the movie Jason's Lyric. Early in 1996, K-Ci and Jo-Jo teamed up for the song "How Could You" for the movie Bulletproof starring Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler.
By July 1996, K-Ci and JoJo finally had a hit on their hands as guest artists in 2Pac's number-one R&B hit "How Do U Want It". It also topped the Billboard Hot 100. The brothers made their side projects into a full album, Love Always. Released on June 17, 1997, the album spawned two top-ten R&B hits: "You Bring Me Up" and "Last Night's Letter". "All My Life" was the number-one song on the Hot 100 for three weeks, a feat that K-Ci and Jo-Jo had never achieved with Jodeci.Love Always went on to sell four million copies, and the success of the album put Jodeci's reunion on hold indefinitely.
Their second album,It's Real,was released on June 22, 1999. It spawned one major hit "Tell Me It's Real" which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard's R&B charts. K-Ci and Jo-Jo returned with X on December 5, 2000. "X", the Roman numeral for ten, was picked as the album title to celebrate the Haileys' tenth anniversary in the music business. They made a strong return to the Billboard Hot 100 early in 2001 with the song "Crazy", also included on the Save the Last Dance soundtrack. "Crazy" peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100.
The fourth K-Ci and Jo-Jo album, Emotional, was released on November 26, 2002, but failed to find commercial success. K-Ci and JoJo released a greatest hits album on February 8, 2005. They are believed to have teamed back up with DeVante Swing and Mr. Dalvin for a Jodeci reunion album.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let you walk right out my door
It was a bad mistake I made
And i regret it to this day
If I had a second chance
Girl i promise I'd make it last
So tonight I erase my pride
If you let me back inside
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
Over and over I try to forget you
But it seems too hard
My feelings for you I can't disregard
You're not my baby anymore baby
All I want is to bring your love back baby
It's not about sex baby
You're the best lady
Please have baby
Forever my lady
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back
Baby come back
Baby come back to me
I don't want to be free
Baby come back to me
Baby come back

I was a fool to let you go
I made a mistake by letting you go
Let you walk right out my door
I allowed you to leave without trying to stop you
It was a bad mistake I made
I deeply regret my mistake
And i regret it to this day
I still think about my mistake and feel regret
If I had a second chance
I wish I could have another opportunity
Girl i promise I'd make it last
If given another chance, I will do everything possible to make it work
So tonight I erase my pride
I'm willing to set aside my pride tonight
If you let me back inside
If you allow me to come back
Over and over I try to forget you
I repeatedly attempt to move on and forget about you
But it seems too hard
It's proving to be a difficult task
My feelings for you I can't disregard
I cannot ignore my feelings for you
You're not my baby anymore baby
We may not be together but I still think of you as my baby
All I want is to bring your love back baby
I desire to have your love again
It's not about sex baby
This is not about physical intimacy
You're the best lady
You are an amazing woman
Please have baby
Please consider giving us another chance
Forever my lady
You will always be my lady
Baby come back
I beg of you to return to me
Baby come back to me
I want you to come back to me
I don't want to be free
I don't want to be without you
Baby come back
I beg of you to return to me
Baby come back to me
I want you to come back to me
Baby come back
I beg of you to return to me
Baby come back to me
I want you to come back to me
I don't want to be free
I don't want to be without you
Baby come back to me
I want you to come back to me
Baby come back
I beg of you to return to me
