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.
Trippin'
Toni Braxton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Things were all good
And two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin' a fit
And she is sittin' there crying
We tear it up
To patch it up
To make up
The show goes round and round
And that how we get down
We go back and forth
And anyone who goes through this should know
That what I am saying is for real
Real love is meant this way
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin
'Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin', and rumblin' and arguing
Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
I say where the hell you going
And you say I'm getting up out of here
And I say you ain't going no where
Then I follow you down the stairs,
Get in front of you and then I scream
Times like this I know you're
Still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And oh yeah
When I feel like going off
I brush my shoulders off
And you know
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin'
'Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
You won't believe it until you see it
How much you need somebody
(Need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
When you love somebody
(Love somebody)
Oh oh
Sometime we say the craziest things!
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He's trippin'
She's trippin'
And we both be trippin' and
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when it's on it's on
And your no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessin'
'Cause when it's all said and done
Were back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes

Line by Line Meaning
Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Love isn't proven in the good times
Things were all good
When everything is perfect, that's not when love is proven
And two people are smiling
Love is found in the tough times
Love is found way down in the trenches
True love is found in the difficult times
When he's throwin' a fit
When he's upset and angry
And she is sittin' there crying
When she is upset and crying
We tear it up
We argue and fight
To patch it up
To work through the problems and come to a solution
Break up
To separate and end the relationship
To make up
To reconcile and get back together
The show goes round and round
The cycle repeats itself
And that how we get down
That's how we deal with our problems
We go back and forth
We argue and try to make up
And anyone who goes through this should know
Anyone who has been in a relationship like this can relate
That what I am saying is for real
What I'm saying is truthful
Real love is meant this way
True love is not always easy, but it's worth it
What you know about screamin' yellin' cuzin' pushin', and rumblin' and arguing
Do you know what it's like to argue and fight like this?
Like it's 12 rounds up inside the garden
Like a boxing match
I say where the hell you going
I ask where are you going
And you say I'm getting up out of here
And you say you're leaving
And I say you ain't going no where
And I say you're not leaving
Then I follow you down the stairs,
I follow you as you leave
Get in front of you and then I scream
I confront you and yell
Times like this I know you're
In moments like this I know you're
Still the one
You're still the person I want to be with
And the truth is this is really love
This is true love, even in the tough times
And oh yeah
And yeah
When I feel like going off
When I feel like getting angry
I brush my shoulders off
I let it go and move on
You won't believe it until you see it
You won't understand until you experience it
How much you need somebody
How much you need another person
(Need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
You don't know how much you can handle
When you love somebody
When you're in love
(Love somebody)
Sometime we say the craziest things!
We say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment
And your no longer stressin'
You're no longer stressed
And life teaches a lesson
You learn a lesson from the situation
That love is still a blessin'
Love is still a blessing
Cause when it's all said and done
In the end
Were back at square one
We're back to where we started
And that's the way love works out sometimes
This is just how love can be sometimes

[Verse 1]
Ain't nobody ever prove their love when
Things are all good and two people are smiling
Love is found way down in the trenches
When he's throwin' a fit
And she's sittin' there crying
We tear it up (Tear it up)
Uh, to patch it up (Patch it up)
Uh, break up to make up
The show goes round and round
And that's how we get down
We go back and forth
And anybody who's sat through this should know
That what I'm saying's the realest
Real lovers feel this way
[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
And that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', man
'Cause that's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
[Verse 2]
What you know about screamin', yellin', cussin', pushin', and rumblin' and arguin'
Like it's 12 rounds up inside The Garden?
I say, "Where the hell you goin'?"
And you say, "I'm gettin' outta here"
And I say, "You ain't goin' nowhere"
Then I follow you down the stairs
And get in front of you and I scream
At times like this, I know you're still the one
And the truth is this is really love
And, oh-yeah yeah
When I feel like goin' off, I brush my shoulders off
And you know, yeah
[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin'
And we both be trippin', man
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
And you're no longer stressin'
And life teaches a lesson
That love is still a blessing
'Cause when it's all said and done
We're back at square one
And that's the way love works out sometimes
[Bridge]
You won't believe it until you see it
(How much you need somebody, need somebody)
And you'll never know how far you'll go
(When you love somebody, love somebody)
Oh
(How much you need somebody, need somebody)
(When you love somebody, love somebody)
Sometimes, we say the craziest things
[Chorus]
We say things that we don't mean
But that's the way love works out sometimes
He trippin', she trippin' (Baby)
And we both be trippin', man
That's the way love works out sometimes
'Cause when that song is on
