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.

Toni Braxton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you still haven't responded to me
Got me on the edge of crazy but I'm not one for complainin'
I just wonder where the hell you could be
Tell me who you think you are
Don't be playin' with my heart
Say what, what's it gonna be?
Are you in or you out?
'Cause I really need you here
If you don't want me around
Then don't come around
And cloud up my atmosphere
Fuck outta here
It's been forty-seven hours, seven minutes, thirty seconds
And now you're just responding to me
Boy, you must be suicidal
Is that bitch right there beside you?
'Cause I know, hell, it couldn't be me
Tell me who you think you are
I'm a motherfuckin' star
Say what, what's it gonna be?
'Cause I'm in love with you now
Are you in or you out?
'Cause I really need you here
If you don't want me around
Then don't come around
And cloud up my atmosphere
Fuck outta here
If you ain't feelin' this
Just let me know
I promise on everything
I'll let you go
'Cause I'm in love with you now
Are you in or you out?
'Cause I really need you here
If you don't want me around
Then don't come around
And cloud up my atmosphere
Fuck outta here
Fuck outta here
The lyrics of Toni Braxton's song "FOH" talk about a woman who is waiting for a man to respond to her messages, but he takes too long to do so. She becomes anxious, wondering where he could be and who he is with. She confronts him about his behavior, asking him to stop playing with her heart and to decide whether he wants to be in or out of the relationship. The woman expresses her love for him but also warns him not to waste her time and to leave if he is not interested.
The song touches on the theme of communication and honesty in a relationship. The woman is frustrated with the man's lack of response and feels disrespected. She demands transparency and authenticity, making it clear that she won't tolerate being mistreated. The use of strong language in the chorus, such as "fuck outta here," adds to the song's assertive and confident tone, emphasizing the woman's power and self-worth.
Overall, "FOH" is a bold and catchy tune that showcases Toni Braxton's vocal prowess and fierce attitude. It is a relatable song for anyone who has experienced uncertainty and frustration in a relationship.

I have been waiting for your response for more than a day now
And you still haven't responded to me
Apparently, you still haven't replied to my message
Got me on the edge of crazy but I'm not one for complainin'
I'm going out of my mind waiting for your reply, but I'm not one to whine about it
I just wonder where the hell you could be
I'm genuinely curious about your whereabouts
Tell me who you think you are
Who do you think you are?
Don't be playin' with my heart
Don't joke with my feelings
Say what, what's it gonna be?
What's your decision going to be?
'Cause I'm in love with you now
I'm currently in love with you
Are you in or you out?
Are you going to reciprocate my feelings, or are you not interested?
'Cause I really need you here
I need you here with me
If you don't want me around
If you don't want to be with me
Then don't come around
Stay away from me
And cloud up my atmosphere
Don't ruin my mood
Fuck outta here
Get out of my sight
It's been forty-seven hours, seven minutes, thirty seconds
You're replying after almost two days
And now you're just responding to me
Now you decide to reply
Boy, you must be suicidal
You're very brave (to reply this late)
Is that bitch right there beside you?
Is that girl with you right now?
‘Cause I know, hell, it couldn't be me
Because I know for sure it's not me
I'm a motherfuckin' star
I'm a significant and popular person
If you ain't feelin' this
If you're not into this (relationship)
Just let me know
Please communicate your feelings to me
I promise on everything
I swear on everything important to me
I'll let you go
I'll allow you to leave me alone
Fuck outta here
I don't want to deal with this anymore.
