Teyana Taylor's first brush with fame came about when she helped choreograph the music video of Beyoncé's hit "Ring the Alarm". After the success, she was then introduced to the national public on MTV's My Super Sweet 16 in 2007. Producer Pharrell Williams signed Taylor to Star Trak Entertainment in 2007. She appeared in Jay-Z's "Blue Magic" music video in October 2007 and her debut single, "Google Me", was released by Star Trak in February 2008. As well as this, she features on the track "Teach Me How To Dougie" by Cali Swag District, which reached #91 in the US Top 100 Billboard, back in June 2010. Taylor's planned debut album was called From a Planet Called Harlem.
She is a member of a band called U.G.L.Y. along with band mates Mijo, Braxton and Ethan. A snippet of U.G.L.Y.'s single "Wasted" was released early 2010. No further releases from the band have since been mentioned. Taylor has also ventured into acting. She has appeared in the sequel of the 2007 hit film Stomp the Yard, titled Stomp the Yard 2: Homecoming, which was released August 2010. She has also made an appearance on the debut episode of House of Glam on Oxygen.
Business
Teyana Taylor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every since the first time I laid eyes on you
I saw the truth
No questions, just proof
And they talk but ain't heard a thing they said bout you
Ever since the first time we made love
Everybody want details, I don't say nothing
I won't say nothing if you don't say nothing
[Pre-Chorus:]
Yeah, we gone fight but I'mma love you till it's alright
Ain't gone find these answers on sight
Boy, you don't need nobody's advice
Give me a shoulder to cry on and I'll be alright
I'll be the one you rely on
[Chorus:]
This love ain't none of yo friends business
Ain't none of my friends business
It's ours, all ours, nobody else
None of yo friends business
Ain't none of my friends business
Boy, it's ours
None of yo friends business
Ain't none of my friends business
It's ours, boy it's ours
The song "Business" by Teyana Taylor is a love anthem that speaks about the privacy and sacredness of love. In the first verse, Taylor speaks about how from the very first moment she met her partner, there was something in their connection that was undeniable. She saw the truth of their love without any doubts and cares nothing of what others say about their partner who has a questionable reputation. In the second half of the verse, Taylor alludes to the intimate moments they share but does not disclose any details.
In the pre-chorus, Taylor highlights the complexities of romantic relationships. She acknowledges the possibility of conflicts and disagreements but promises to love her partner regardless. The singer also insists that the answers to their problems cannot be found just by looking at them but when they rely on each other, everything will be alright.
The chorus reinforces the idea that their love is personal and private. Taylor doesn't want to involve their friends in their business because their relationship belongs to just the two of them. No one else is involved, and their love is just theirs.
Overall, the song is a celebration of intimacy and privacy in relationships. Despite any obstacles or criticism they may face, the singer and her partner have made peace with their love and the only thing that matters is keeping it between themselves.
