I had never heard this one either til it showed up in my feed recently. I remember Sending All My Love and TLC and I loved those songs but hearing this one made me actually go and buy the albums and I do listen to them now. I never had them growing up. I was 15 then brings back awesome memories of my teen years ❤ 😊
