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.

K-Ci & JoJo Lyrics

Thinking about ya
How could this be that you are not here with me
When I gave you the best of me
I feast each day (each day)
Without a smile
And life seems so unfair
I feel like I wanna (like I wanna) die
You didn't give me a last goodbye baby
[Chorus]
I've waited weeks for your call
I've waited here by the phone
Broken the silence too long (it broke to long)
I knew that something was wrong (oh)
Right then I knew it babe
How could you do it babe (how could you do it)
How could you tear my poor heat in two (why did you have to do it oh)
How could you do it babe
How could you do (how could you do) it to me (to me)
Do it do it how could you do it baby
And tear my poor heart in two
Ain't no more blue up in my sky
Only cloudy moments ha
And this is like rain you left behind
All of those memories in the corner of my mind
I started looking at a picture in a frame
As I start to cry 'cause I can't picture us apart
Oh my God can you help me
Can you help me with this pain
With this pain I've buried deep down inside.
[Chorus]
How could you tear my poor heart in two
(How could you do it how could you do it to me baby)
Girl tell me it's not true (all my life)
Do I have to spend the rest of my life without you baby
How can I get through
How can I get through this pain this pain no deal baby
[Chorus]
How could you do it babe (why you do this why you went away)
How could you tear my poor heart in two (yeah yeah)
Yeah baby oh
I've waited weeks for your call
I've waited here by the phone
Break it down, break it down (broken the silence too long)
Break it down, break it down (I knew that something was wrong)
Break it down
