She has won 7 Grammy Awards. The RIAA named Braxton as one of the top selling R&B artists of all time.
She first burst onto the scene in 1992 on the Boomerang soundtrack, after Anita Baker turned down the opportunity. In 1993 Toni released her self-titled debut album, which stayed at the top of the charts for a year and was a critically acclaimed album.
Toni released her sophomore effort, Secrets in 1996 which also did very well on both R&B and Pop charts. From that album Toni got two #1 hits; "You're Making Me High "and "Unbreak My Heart", which spent 14 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard top 100, and was a worldwide hit. After 5 Grammy awards and a little break, Toni Braxton came back strong with her 2000 album The Heat. Though not as successful as her first two albums, The Heat went on to sell 4 million copies and spawned the huge hits "He Wasn't Man Enough"and "Just Be A Man About It".
Toni has released two further albums, 2002's More Than a Woman and 2005's Libra. Toni's sixth studio album Pulse was released in May 2010 via Atlantic Records. The singles "Yesterday" and "Hands Tied" were the biggest hits. Subsequent singles to be released from "Pulse" include "Make My Heart" and "Woman."
In January 2011, the WE Television Network confirmed that it had signed Toni and the rest of the Braxton family for a reality series, Braxton Family Values, which will be marketed as one of the network's flagship shows. The series debuted April 12, 2011, and looks at the relationship between Toni, her mother, and her four sisters; Trina, Tamar, Traci and Towanda — all aspiring singers themselves — along with the interpersonal relationships of each family member. The show also looked at Braxton's heavily publicized separation from estranged husband, singer Keri Lewis. Toni parted ways with her long time manager Vincent Herbert (who was also the husband of sister Tamar Braxton at the time), and signed a new management deal with Los Angeles-based entertainment/production company 'The Collective'.
In 2014, Toni released a collaborative album with Babyface entitled Love, Marriage & Divorce; primarily inspired by their individual divorces (Toni with Keri, and Babyface with Tracey Edmonds). The album was supported by the singles "Hurt You", "Where Did We Go Wrong" and "Roller Coaster"; and won Best R&B Album in the 57th Annual Grammy Awards (2015).
Toni's long-awaited eighth album Sex & Cigarettes was released on Def Jam in March 2018, which was supported by the singles "Deadwood", "Long as I Live" and "FOH". The album also featured a sole guest appearance from singer Colbie Caillat, and was nominated for three Grammy Awards, including Best R&B Album in the 61st awards ceremony (2019).
Signing to Island Records in 2020, Toni released her ninth album Spell My Name in August 2020, featuring collaborations with H.E.R. & Missy Elliott. The album was released to positive reception, but was her lowest-charting album yet, peaking at #163 on the Billboard 200.
Another Sad Love Song
Toni Braxton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been hangin' around here lately
With my mind messed up
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
Didn't help me
I guess I'm all messed up now baby
Soon as I jumped into my ride
Those memories start to play
And there you are baby once again
It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you
Since you been gone
I keep thinkin' about you baby
Gets me all choked up
This heart of mine keeps
Dreamin' of you and it's crazy
You'd think I'd had enough
As soon as I get you out my head
I'm in your car again
Just one request from the radio
I'm back in love sugar once again
It's just another sad love song
Rackin' my brain like crazy
Guess I'm all torn up
Be it fast or slow
It doesn't let go
Or shake me
And it's all because of you
Here comes the strings
Then somebody sings
Only takes a beat
And then it starts killin' me darlin'
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
From that radio
It's just
Another,
Lonely,
Love song.

Since you been gone
Ever since you left me
I been hangin' around here lately
I've been spending more time in this place
With my mind messed up
Feeling confused and upset
Jumped in my car tried to clear my mind
I got in my car hoping to feel better
Didn't help me
But it didn't work
I guess I'm all messed up now baby
I'm feeling even more unhappy now
Soon as I jumped into my ride
As soon as I got in my car
Those memories start to play
I start remembering things
A song comes on the radio
Then a song I know starts playing on the radio
And there you are baby once again
And then I think of you again
It's just another sad love song
It's a song that reminds me of our love and makes me sad
Rackin' my brain like crazy
It keeps making me think and feel upset
Guess I'm all torn up
I'm all upset and confused
Be it fast or slow
No matter how the song goes
It doesn't let go
I can't shake off the sadness
Or shake me
I can't stop feeling affected by it
And it's all because of you
All because of how I feel about you
I keep thinkin' about you baby
I can't stop thinking about you
Gets me all choked up
It makes me feel emotional and upset
This heart of mine keeps
My heart won't stop
Dreamin' of you and it's crazy
Thinking about us together, which is unrealistic
You'd think I'd had enough
You'd expect me to move on
As soon as I get you out my head
As soon as I stop thinking about you
I'm in your car again
I start imagining myself in your car
Just one request from the radio
If I hear just one song I'll start thinking about you again
I'm back in love sugar once again
I start longing for you again
Here comes the strings
The instrumental part of the song is starting
Then somebody sings
Then the vocals start
Only takes a beat
It takes just one note
And then it starts killin' me darlin'
And it starts hurting my feelings
Only takes one note, I tell ya,
It really only takes one note
From that radio
From hearing that song
It's just
It really is just
Another,
Another
Lonely,
Sad
Love song.
Song about love and loss.
