Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Next's song "My Place" are a sexual proposition by the singer to his lady love, suggesting they head back to his place to spend the night together. The singer indicates he had a lot planned for them that evening but offers to salvage it by going back to his place instead. He then suggests they put on some Next, indicating that the mood is set for some lovemaking. The repeated phrase "Lord have mercy" adds to the sexual tension of the lyrics.


The song is an ode to the classic R&B love ballads of the 90s and early 2000s. It features a slow, sultry beat and smooth vocals, with the singer using his seductive voice to entice the object of his affection. The lyrics are straightforward, leaving little to the imagination, and the song's tone is unapologetically sexual.


One interesting fact about the song is that it was released in 2000 and became a hit for Next. It peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 chart and was one of the most popular R&B songs of the year. Another interesting fact is that the song was written by Next members RL Huggar, T-Low, and Robert "R.L." Huggar's brother, Darrell "Dee" Brown. It was produced by Kay Gee, who was also responsible for producing hits by artists like Naughty By Nature and Zhané.
