After "I Love Your Smile", Shanice continued to record albums, including 1999's Shanice, produced chiefly by Babyface. While she has not achieved significant commercial success with her later albums, she is acknowledged as a talented singer and many of her songs appeared on various soundtracks. She also sings backup and does studio sessions and can be heard on Toni Braxton's song "Unbreak My Heart". She can also be heard making vocal contributions to various games. She is married to actor/comedian Flex Alexander, with whom she has two children.
Not a stranger to taking long gaps between albums and singles, "Every Woman Dreams" finally emerged in June of 2005. The single is currently doing moderately well, and Shanice is now signed to IME Records (which is distributed through Universal/Motown). After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006. The video for "Every Woman Dreams" was released in December 2005 and is in current rotation on music networks like BET, MTV and Vh1.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna tell, I wanna tell you, baby
What's goin' on, yeah
So you call me up and say
"Girl what's goin' on?"
Someone told you I had done you wrong
People always talkin' sayin' crazy things
It's just jealousy
Well, if you wanna know the truth boy
I'm tellin' you, hey, he was just a friend of mine
If we start to question each other, it'll tear us apart
Baby let's not start
Don't you doubt my love, don't you doubt my love
I'm never gonna give you up, who can you believe
Your friends or me, I'm not gonna leave
Oh baby, I will always be
Forever in your love
Forever in your love
Forever in your love
Forever in your love
Stood right by your side, babe
Held you through the night, I never let you down
When you need someone to believe in
Put your trust in me ain't that what love's about?
Don't you doubt my love, don't you doubt my love
I'm never gonna give you up, who can you believe
Your friends or me, I'm not gonna leave
Oh baby, I will always be
Forever in your love

When I'm home sitting alone thinking about you, yeah
And what we do together makes me want more
'Cause I'm sure that I'm forever in your love

You know a kiss from head to toe
Makes me wanna scream to the heavens up above
Knowing that I'm forever in your love
Baby, yeah, word to your mother

I'm never gonna give you up, who can you believe
Your friends or me, I'm not gonna leave
Oh baby, I will always be
