The group released their debut album, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam with Full Force in 1985, it went platinum[1]. The Personal Records label leased "I Wonder if I Take You Home" to the European division of CBS Records for the compilation album Breakdancing. Stateside club DJs began playing the single from the import LP. The U.S. division of CBS, Columbia Records, released the record with it quickly becoming a chart-topper on Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco chart. The single went gold, crossing over to the R&B chart, peaking at number six, and the pop chart at number 34 in summer 1985. I Wonder If I Take You Home was followed by the club hit "Can You Feel the Beat," and they soon found their first Top 10 single, the ballad "All Cried Out". "Can You Feel the Beat" made it to number 40 R&B in late 1985. Their third single, the ballad "All Cried Out" went gold, going to number three R&B, number eight pop in summer 1986. "All Cried Out" was later covered by Allure and was a hit in 1998.
Their second album Spanish Fly was a huge success in 1987, spawning two #1 hits, "Head to Toe" and "Lost In Emotion," both of which sported a retro Motown style mixed with the Freestyle sound they were known for. Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's Spanish Fly, went platinum, peaking at number seven pop and included two Motown-influenced gold singles; a combination of the sound of the Supremes, Lulu ("To Sir With Love"), with a sprinkling of the 5th Dimension and FF's hard-driving beats, "Head to Toe" parked at number one R&B for two weeks and hit number one pop in spring 1987, and with its strong Mary Wells influence, "Lost in Emotion" held the number one R&B spot for two weeks and made it to number one pop in summer 1987. Other hits from Spanish Fly were the ballad "Someone to Love Me for Me" b/w "Spanish Fly" (number seven R&B), "Everything Will B-Fine" (number nine R&B). [2]
Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam's third CD Straight to the Sky from 1989, was a moderate hit and includes the Top 20 single, "Little Jackie Wants to Be a Star".
Their fourth and final album, Straight Outta Hell's Kitchen was less of a commercial success and the group disbanded in 1991 when Velez went to do both solo and acting careers and Moseley and Hughes went on to do other projects. The album did include a hit with "Let the Beat Hit 'Em," which reached the pop top 30 and was a huge hit on the club charts.

Lost in emotion
Some guys will promise you a
Marriage made in heaven
But I'm gonna stick to my guns
Like waitin for their love
that I might be gettin
My dreams have just begun
Are you free
And love for you, oh my
And come to see you oh oh
Lost in emotion
Telling you things you really shouldn't know
Oh baby, I'm lost in emotion
Am I fool at least my friends think so
Que sera Sera
Baby, whenever we're free, que sera sera
Between you and me
Just how true are the rumors I am hearing
About this crush you have on me
Maybe I'm blind but I just don't see it
But I want to believe what they say
I find myself telling you things
I don't even tell my best friend
I can't show it the emotions overflowin
Just wear it I'll dance around
Sometimes I wonder if I am in your heart
Even though I don't live there yet
I'm afraid it'll be cold and dark
I'm lost in emotion
Telling you things you really shouldn't know
I'm lost in emotion
Am I a fool, at least my friends think so
Que sera sera
Between you and me
A boy couldn't go
Baby am I a fool cause I don't know
Just how you feel
I'll be there for you all the time
Hit the beat now
When I'm feelin, I hate this feelin
Lost in emotion

Between you and me Just how true are the rumors I am hearing About this crush you have on me
Asking about the validity of the rumors and if the person really has feelings for her
Maybe I'm blind but I just don't see it But I want to believe what they say
She is unsure if the rumors are true but wants them to be
I find myself telling you things I don't even tell my best friend
Sharing personal information with the person she is in love with
I can't show it the emotions overflowin Just wear it I'll dance around
Her emotions are overwhelming and she cannot express them, so she dances instead
Sometimes I wonder if I am in your heart Even though I don't live there yet
She wonders if the person she loves feels the same way about her
I'm afraid it'll be cold and dark
She is afraid that her love will not be reciprocated or that it will not last
A boy couldn't go Baby am I a fool cause I don't know Just how you feel I'll be there for you all the time
Asking if the person loves her and pledging to always be there for them
When I'm feelin, I hate this feeling Lost in emotion
She is frustrated with her overwhelming emotions and the uncertainty of her love being reciprocated
