With powerful and sultry vocals, these songs propelled her debut album Together Forever to gold status with over 700,000 copies sold. Both songs were such big dance music hits that they are credited as helping renew interest in Freestyle music in the early 90s, which had been fading in popularity due to the rise of mainstream pop music and grunge at the time.
Melendez has since gone on to record her debut Spanish language Salsa album "Un Poco De Mi" featuring the major hit song, "Algo De Mi." Several years later, Melendez formed a music duo with fellow Freestyle Diva, Cynthia, called Liscyn. Together they issued their single, "I Can't Change Your Mind." It was warmly received by supporters. This was followed by successful touring.
Recently, Lisette recorded with producer Carlos Berrios producing two new songs "I Need a Lover" and "Don't Ever Say." Both songs are included on his Freestyle compilation "Don't Look Back"

Lisette Melendez Lyrics

wants to assist you
Do you act or do you slap him up
or do you breathe do you service up
listen if the boy is on a mission
Going for his do you act, do you walk away
Do you breathe, do you make his day
and you've got to make up your mind but take your time
The possibilities are there for you and me
It's never easy, It's never easy
in a love type situation
Which way do you go
when you left the heart control the mind what will you find
In a love type situation
if there's gonna be someone for you or me
So let him care for me
Sista when the boy wants to kiss ya
Tellin' you guys like (I'm taking you a blessing, I'm wanting you)
Honey he wants to bleed you
What do I do, What do I say if he seems OK
Where do I go if he wants to play me out
and thinkin' he can make shout
She eyed me go away
The choice is yours,
and you've got to make up your mind but take your time
The possibilities are there for you and me
It's never easy, It's never easy
in a love type situation
Which way do you go
when you left the heart control the mind what will you find
In a love type situation
if there's gonna be someone for you or me
So let him care for me
in a love type situation
Which way do you go
when you left the heart control the mind what will you find
In a love type situation
if there's gonna be someone for you or me
So let him care for me
in a love type situation
Which way do you go
Cause I'm ever gonna be with somebody
Do you really wanna know?
In a love type situation
gotta go with the flow, you're the only one
We can get it done
in a love type situation
Which way do you go
when you left the heart control the mind what will you find
In a love type situation
if there's gonna be someone for you or me
So let him care for me
The lyrics to Lisette Melendez's song Love Type Situation explore the complexities of navigating romantic relationships. The song's title itself suggests that the lyrics will discuss things that happen during romantic situations. In the opening lines, Lisette wonders what a woman is supposed to do when a man approaches her with romantic intentions- should she immediately reject him, flirt back, or take a step back and assess the situation? Later in the song, she addresses scenarios where a guy might try to pressure her into unwanted physical contact, and wonders how she is supposed to react in the moment. Overall, this song is about the confusion and uncertainty that often comes with being in a romantic relationship with someone, and how difficult it can be to know what the right thing to do is.
