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 ↴
Some o' y'all might not like it
But then again somebody out there might just will
Lemme take my time and tell you baby
I feel good about tellin y'all about this
Can I get a witness yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I played with ladies like my toys
Always said I'd never fall in love
Don't want to care about a woman that much
Never thought I would find a girl
Who would change my attitude
Now my heart doesn't care
Went outta my mind
As fast as it would come to you
Baby, you're the reason why
[Chorus]
I won't never say never again
I won't never say never again
I won't never say never
'Cause lovin you baby
Has taught me a lesson, no
I won't never say never again
JoJo sing it
Ooooohhh, you got me goin
Deeper'n deeper, deeper'n deeper
I just want to get a little deeper with you baby
Oooh, don't stop
Let's go all the way, let's go all the way
I want to get a little deep inside of you
