The group started in 1984 as The Gents and comprised Drakeford, McCain, William McNeir, Ronald Scruggs, and Bernard Belle. During an anti-drug benefit, the group received a meeting with the producer Teddy Riley who renamed the group Today and melded them into the current lineup. Riley helped them receive a deal with MCA Records.
As the head of MCA records urban department, Jheryl Busby, moved into Motown, he brought several acts with him, including Today, The Boys and The Good Girls. While touring the country, the groups were highly successful.
When Today released their self-titled debut album in 1988, things started off looking pretty good. The single "Him Or Me" reached #3 on the R&B charts and was followed by "Girl I Got My Eyes On You" which reached #1. Yet the album's later singles did not do as well as their early showings, and they began to resent the way they were being produced and promoted.
Riley did not help the group with their second album, The New Formula, and it showed. Released in 1991, the album had one hit single, "Why You Get Funky on Me", which reached #2 on the R&B charts.
After the group broke up, Drakeford started a solo career while Singletary, Adams, and McCain wrote songs and tried to get a deal as a trio.
In October 2004 I Got The Feeling appeared in the popular videogame Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, playing on radio station CSR 103.9.

Today Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby, what can i do?
I've been, out searching for you.
I've got a feeling
all i need is a love thats true
I know, this wont go away
I've got a feeling
all i need is to see (you) today
I've been watching the world pass by
all around me
I was letting the days go by
till you found me
Baby, what can i do?
I've been, out searching for you
I've got a feeling
all i need is a love that's true
I've been watching the world pass by
all around me
I was letting the days go by
till you found me
The song, "I Got the Feeling," is about the search for true love. The singer has been searching for someone to love, and they feel that they have found it in the person they are singing to. They have a feeling that this person is the true love they have been searching for all along. The song opens with the singer asking the person they are singing to, "Baby, what can I do? I've been out searching for you." This line sets the tone for the rest of the song, which is about the singer's longing for love and their search for the person they believe is their soulmate.
The second verse continues with the same theme, as the singer laments that their feelings won't go away. They have a persistent sense that the person they are singing to is the one for them, and they need that person to reciprocate their love. The chorus repeats the message: "I've got a feeling all I need is a love that's true." The song emphasizes the importance of finding true love, rather than just settling for someone who is convenient or available. The bridge reinforces this message, as the singer reflects on how they were "letting the days go by" until they found the love they were searching for.
