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.
Now And Forever
K-Ci & JoJo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Telling me I should be free
But there's no kind of way
I'd let them take your love from me
You see I'm not one who goes on
Speculation hearsay gossip
But I'm a firm believer
My love for you is so timeless
It's deeper than the depth of emotion
And everyday goes by I am finding
The reasons that I love you more and more
Now and forever will I love you and be true
Now and forever will I keep what we have new
I will cherish, adore you
Trust and give my all to you
Now and forever will I always love you
I'm not entrusted in starting all over again
To give you up on someone's words
It's not something I'd do
You see you can tell a tree
By the fruit that it bears
And from where I stand
I see my field is yielding
Wish we could sail away on an ocean
Float away on midnight dreams
And we don't need a magic potion
So we can live inside our dreams
Now and forever will I love you and be true
Now and forever will I keep what we have new
I will cherish, adore you
Trust and give my all to you
Now and forever will I always love you
You're everything I want in a lover
You're everything I need in a friend yes you are
You're the shoulder that I'm leaning and depending on
And I could never hurt you
You're everything to me
