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 ↴
Inside of my private thoughts
I can imagine you
Touching my private parts
With just the thought of you
I cant help but touch myself
That's why I want you so bad
Just one night of
All night, doin' it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin' me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Cant get my mind off you
I think I might be obsessed
The very thought of you
Makes me want to get undressed
I wanna be with you
In spite of what my heart says
I guess I want you too bad
All I want is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
All night, doin' it again and again
You know I want you so bad
Baby, baby, baby, baby
Oh I get so high
When I'm around you baby
I can touch the sky
You make my temperature rise
You're makin' me high
Baby, baby, baby, baby
I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me
Lets make a deal you roll, I lick
And we can go flying into ecstasy
Oh darlin' you and me
Light my fire
Blow my flame
Take me, take me, take me away
The lyrics of Toni Braxton's song You're Making Me High Remix are about the singer's physical and sexual attraction to someone who she thinks about often. In her private thoughts, she imagines this person touching her private parts, which causes her to become aroused and want them even more. She admits to being obsessed with the person and cannot get them out of her mind. She desires to be with this person, even though her heart may tell her otherwise. She fantasizes about spending a night with them, doing it again and again. The chorus of the song emphasizes the physical and emotional high that the person gives her.
The phrase "you're making me high" is used repeatedly throughout the song, which is a euphemism for the physical and emotional sensations the singer experiences when thinking about this person. The lyrics also reference moonlight and flying into ecstasy, further emphasizing the passionate and dreamlike quality of the singer's desires. The final lines of the song suggest a willingness to engage in sexual activities with the person she desires, and to be taken away by them.

I'll always think of you
You are a person that I will always remember
Inside of my private thoughts
You occupy a special space in my mind
I can imagine you
I can create a picture of you in my mind
Touching my private parts
Intimately connecting with my most vulnerable places
With just the thought of you
You have an incredibly powerful effect on me
I cant help but touch myself
Thinking of you arouses me to the point of physical action
That's why I want you so bad
The intensity of my feelings for you drives me to desire you
Just one night of
A single instance of
Moonlight, with you there beside me
The atmosphere of the night illuminated by the moon, with you as my companion
All night, doin' it again and again
Repeating the experience throughout the night
You know I want you so bad
It should be clear by now that I desire you deeply
Baby, baby, baby, baby
A term of endearment for you
Oh I get so high
You have an intoxicating effect on me
When I'm around you baby
In your presence
I can touch the sky
You make me feel invincible
You make my temperature rise
You cause me to become aroused
You're makin' me high
The influence you have over me is overwhelming
Cant get my mind off you
You consume my thoughts
I think I might be obsessed
My fascination with you may be unhealthy
The very thought of you
Just considering you
Makes me want to get undressed
Elicits a desire to be naked with you
I wanna be with you
I desire a romantic relationship with you
In spite of what my heart says
Though my emotions may be in conflict
I guess I want you too bad
I desire you more than I should
All I want is
My sole desire is
Moonlights, with you there inside me
The moonlit night, with you intimately beside me
I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me
I desire to have a deep emotional and physical connection with you
Lets make a deal you roll, I lick
A reference to a drug-related sexual encounter
And we can go flying into ecstasy
We can experience intense pleasure together
Oh darlin' you and me
A term of affection, indicating a romantic connection between us
Light my fire
A request for sexual excitement
Blow my flame
Furthering the sexual analogy
Take me, take me, take me away
An urgent plea to go away together, physically or emotionally
