Conflicts within the group prevented Dru Hill from reuniting as planned in late 2000, and Sisqó set about recording a second solo LP. During this period, Sisqó branched out into television, hosting the dance competition program Sisqó's Shakedown on MTV, and film, taking on supporting roles in the films Get Over It (2001) with Kirsten Dunst and Snow Dogs with Cuba Gooding, Jr.. Although his second LP, Return of Dragon, released in June 2001, eventually went platinum, its singles "Can I Live" and "Dance With Me" performed far below expectations, and by 2002, Sisqó was back with Dru Hill, who released their third LP in late 2002. The LP underperformed, and the group was eventually released from their record contract. Sisqó is currently working independently on a third solo album, tentatively titled Last Dragon, for release between late 2006 and mid-2007. The first single "Who's Ur Daddy" will be released November with the video shoot in mid-October.

Sisqó Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Damn when don't I think about you?
Every day, every night
Yo it's hard for a nigga to talk about stuff like this
But damn, I guess
I guess all I can say is I'm addicted
I'm addicted to loving you
But I must intercede
Girl I know I don't deserve you
That's why yet I still believe that
We're still together after all of this time
And I can't get you out of my mind, my mind, my mind
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
Listen
These types of feelings are so hard to express
But if I must confess that it's gotta be real, listen
Oh girl I'm feenin' if you know what I mean
'Cause everyday I got to have you
Like a night on nicotine
My expression
Excuse my expression
But it's plain to me baby
Everyday I got to be with you
It's not just the sake of pain
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
'Cause baby you're love
Your love's so good to me
It's me makes me happy all the time
No other love compares to yours in my mind
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
I'm addicted to loving you
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
I'm addicted to loving you
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
You know I'm addicted
I'm addicted to loving you
The song "Addicted" by Sisqó is about how the singer is obsessed with and addicted to loving someone. He admits that he thinks about this person all the time, every day and night, and that he can't get her out of his mind. He describes how it's difficult for him to talk about his feelings but that he feels a need to express how he feels. He acknowledges that he doesn't deserve her but he still believes they are meant to be together after all this time.
The chorus repeats the line "I'm addicted to loving you" implying that the singer's love is overwhelming and all-consuming. He even compares his need to be with her to an addiction to nicotine. The singer is begging for the love of this person and affirms that they are the only one for him.
The song is a poignant reflection on the feelings that often come with infatuation and love: intense, all-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming. It speaks to the feeling of not being able to imagine life without someone and being addicted to their presence in one's life.
