Ruthless records was splitting apart. Dre, convinced Eazy-E was withholding profit from the N.W.A sales, left the label and started Death Row Records with Suge Knight. Eazy-E refused to release Michel'le and Dr. Dre from their Ruthless Records contracts. Supposedly, Suge and Dre extorted Eazy with metal pipes and baseball bats and forced him to release Dr. Dre, Michel'le and The D.O.C. so he could sign them to Death Row.
Michel'le made occasional guest appearances, notably on the single "Let's Play House" with Tha Dogg Pound in 1996 on Death Row Records. Michel'le released her second and Death Row's fifteenth album called Hung Jury in 1998. Her sophomore effort did not come near the success of her first selling only 300,000 copies to date.
Following Dre's departure from Death Row, Michel'le broke up with Dre and began a new relationship with Suge Knight. Michel'le has a child with Dr. Dre, Marcel, and at least three kids with Suge Knight. It's unknown how many they have. They are currently married. Michel'le is still a part of the Death Row Roster. Her most recent music was a contribution to the Dysfunktional Family soundtrack in 2003. A trailer video for Michel'le's brand new single "Freedom To Love" can be seen on YouTube. The single "Freedom To Love" (listed as "Freedom Two Love" on Amazon.com MP3 downloads) was finally released in 2011. The song "Freedom To Love" charted, reaching #91 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're all alone how could this be?
I don't know you and you're here with me
But the question is, girl, do we go on?
'Cause if you want me, baby
Then tell me how could this be wrong
If I make love to you
If we make lo-o-ove, will I see you again?
If I make love to you, baby
If I make love to you if we make lo-o-ove
Will I see you aga-a-a-a-a-ain?
My answer is such boy, we just met
And it's much too soon to
Speak about it just yet
Girl, I'm not the type of guy
To put a rush on you
But I can tell, yes I can tell
That you really want me too
If I made love to you if I make love to you
If we make lo-o-ove, will I see you again?
If I made la la la la-love to you
If I make love to you
If we make lo-o-ove, will I see you again
And again and again and again
(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I can't make a big mistake
And later wished I'd put on the brakes
Before we have something, boy
That could really be
(Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
I don't really know what is real
All I know is how I feel
And right now, I said right now
Girl, I wanna make love to you
If I make love to you if I make love to you
Tell me, if we make lo-o-ove
Will I see you again?
If I make la la la la-love

But we need to make lo-o-o-o-ove
I wanna make love to you, baby
But will I see you again?
Yes, you'll see me again and again and again

Will you be making sweet love?
