This song, the 3rd in a stretch of Top 5 hits, hit the airwaves 03/02/1996, spent 20 weeks on the charts & peaked at #4. It is 1 of those songs that resonate with you, whether or not you identify with the lyrics 100%. For me, it’s been relevant a few times….

Debuting 06/29/1996, this fun song spent 20 weeks on the charts, 2 of those at #1. It was the last in a string of 4 straight Top 5 tunes &, coupled with the prior release, 1996’s “I’m Not Supposed To Love You Anymore”, showcased his range. His next 3 releases also showcased his range: 1996-7’s “That’s Another Song” (#15), 1997’s “Sittin’ On Go” (#1) & 1997’s “Love Is The Right Place” (#4). None of his last 7 releases late 1997 to late 2000 cracked the Top 15.
