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 ↴
Say you're gonna stand by me
'Cause you my girl, and everything
The one and only love, I'll ever need
It's not that easy to say
I want you back in my life
I wanna be with my wife again
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited
When you walked out of my life
Everything fell apart
But I wanna get it right
Because I'm gonna always love you boy
And I need you boy
Tell me we'll fall in love again
Reunited, back to the business of love
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited
Because I'm gonna always love you boy
And I need you boy
Tell me we'll fall in love again
Again
We're reunited, baby, back to the business of love
We're reunited, oh baby, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us

Reunited, back to the business of love
Reunited, getting back together because
We're united
What were we thinking of
Ain't nothing better than us
When it's me and you reunited

It's really sad that today's generation will never know the really meaning of good music. I'm 14 and yes, I do listen to hip-hop and all the latest music but I also have an old soul and I love the 90's and 80's music. This album right here is the definition of REAL MUSIC.

Emoni Ellis honestly but the thing is music changes soo ur jus gonna have to deal with it 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️

Toni really sounds streets ahead when she sings with Face, his low dark harmonies flourish with that sharp sweet voice of hers. The power of music, wonderful collaboration. I love this song Babyface is a great songwriter
