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 ↴
I'm just tryin' to remember
The best night I ever had(had)
I keep thinkin' all of the
Touches, kisses, and screams(screams)
Let me recreate it,
Oh my God, we did some things(things)
Holding onto you, it's so true
Don't you, know that I got everything
If I had to, Redo
That oooh
I would've Tivo'd everything
[Chorus]
I wish that I could rewind it
Roll me on the bed
Ooh touch me right there
Grab me by my waist
I wish that I could rewind it
Lying next to me
Loving me to sleep
I can hardly wait
I wish that I could rewind it
Reminisce about the things we do(do)
Ain't nobody that could handle me like you (you)
Love so good, wish we could've tape that
So we could replay that
Wish that I could rewind that
I wish that I could rewind it
Just like the first time I saw your face
I rememberd how you were
When you were in that place
So all I'm sayin'
Some memories can't be replaced
That's why I can't let go of that night
It's history

The song "Rewind" by Toni Braxton is about a woman who is trying to relive her most memorable night with her lover. The song opens with her trying to remember the best night she ever had with her loved one, and as she does so, she recreates the moment and wishes she could rewind time to that night. The lyrics convey the desire to experience the same feelings of love, passion, and intense physical connection again. She talks about the touches, kisses, and screams she shared with her lover, and how no one else can handle the way they love each other.
In the chorus of the song, she delves deeper into this desire to relive that night. She wishes she could rewind time and go back to the passionate moments they shared, the times when they lay in bed together, loving each other to sleep, and the moments when they could not get enough of each other. She expresses her wish to replay those moments in her mind and to hold onto them tightly, so she never forgets what they had. The song explores the theme of love, passion, and memory in the context of a passionate relationship.
