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.

After several pushbacks, her fifth studio album (titled Every Woman Dreams) will be released on February 21, 2006.

Shanice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I like the things you do
One day I took a stroll down the street
That when I knew you were the one
We were friends for a very long time
Back when I was young, I'm a woman now
So listen to me when I say, I like the way you do the things you do
Won't you give me your seven digits, so I can give you a call
Take the chance on my love. I think now is the time for us to talk and get more aquainted.
I want to hear rhe things you like, hold me tight
I like, the things you do

"I Like" the Kenny Dope Main remix better than the original, the Kenny Dope Main Remix reminds me of the Ms. Mello Remix of the song/single, "Back & Forth" by the late female solo R&B artist, Aaliyah. I've tried so hard to listen for the sampling of "I'll Take You There" by The Staple Singer and I can't hear that song anywhere in the melody of "I Like". The only thing I don't like about the Album Version of "I Like is the harmonica because it gives it a little bit of a country sound. But don't get me wrong, I'm not hating on the song, I love country music, and I'm not trying to nor be I being disrespectful to Shanice, I'd be damned for the rest of my life if I done something like that.
