98 Degrees Song S ((HOT))

While thinking back on some of the songs they passed up (a little tune called "Bye Bye Bye"; almost "The Hardest Thing," which they only did at the label's request and it turned out to be one of their biggest hits; a collab with a then-unknown rapper named Nelly, leaving them wondering what might have been), Jeff recalled Britney's manager Larry Rudolph showing them "...Baby One More Time."

98 Degrees Song s

As today is Nick Lachey's birthday - it has gotten some fans reminiscing about 98 Degrees. If you are one of them, you're likely raring to re-listen to their hits. Spotify is usually the answer, but if you cannot remember some of the titles and what were the greatest hits, here is our top 5 98 Degrees songs and music videos.

Justin: We had been wanting to do new music when the lockdown happened. We were doing shows, and everything just got put on hold. We got the opportunity to get together and create a (COVID-19) bubble in Vegas and recorded some songs.

These seven holiday classics join the four seasonal songs already on the charts, which have moved up in their ranking. These include Sia's "Santa's Coming For Us" (No. 6), Kelly Clarkson's "Christmas Eve" (No.10), Josh Groban's cover of John Lennon's "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)" (No. 12),and actress Jane Lynch's "A Swingin' Little Christmas," featuring Kate Flannery and Tim Davis ( No. 16).

Campbell: Especially instrumentally, Demi's older stuff was a huge influence on this record. [On] "La La Land," the songwriting is really good. That's something I was really focused on with this album, having really good songwriting, because we really care about creating quality work.

For all of these artists, it's more vibes versus [trying] to copy their song, you know? We just really loved the energy that all these artists put out, and Demi's songs were just so solid and such good pop-rock songs. And we wanted to have that kind of iconic-ness about ours.

Juarez: She also has a lot of fun in her songs, and I feel like we get some of that from her. You don't have to take the song too seriously, you can still put your little spin on things.

All of these artists were songwriters too, and you could tell that their truth was in these songs, and it made you feel something. That's something that is super inspiring, and Kelly is so great at that.

"I get into a room and I really want to enjoy the people, and the songs will come if we're all just being honest," he tells GRAMMY.com. "If you take a few days or weeks to get to know somebody, all of a sudden, your songs are deeper."

I think if you took all the producers in the world and took all the songwriters in the world and tried to look at which ones are more business savvy, I'd say nine times out of 10, it's probably the producers.

I was such a lazy songwriter for so many years because I always loved writing songs, writing songs with my friends in high school and stuff like that. But I never really wanted to play an instrument, and I never really wanted to sing them myself.

I think probably back in high school, in 1998 or '99, it was because they were joke songs. So I probably didn't want to sing them because they were inappropriate or something. I always wanted to. The beginning for me was definitely a sort of moment of hearing Tracy Chapman when I was like, Oh, this is what I'm going to do. Not be Tracy Chapman, but write songs.

I couldn't have gotten any luckier than with Adele, because her blueprint for how to do a writing session is the most pure in the game. There's nothing to hide behind. There's no producer in the room. She came to my friend's grandparents' where there are no mics; there's no studio equipment at all. There's a piano. And she just goes, "Great, let's write a song."

Lately, probably because of all the time I've spent doing it, I get into a room and I really want to enjoy the people. And the songs will come if we're all just being honest. We all know why we're here. We don't need that pressure in the room, and we don't need the A&R sitting in the room. We can get a song, but let's just be honest and really enjoy each other's company for a while.

If it's somebody who seems very open to talk, that's usually a good sign. And if not, then you just do what they want. You start writing a song and that's fine too. Sometimes there's great, catchy stuff. It's not always the deepest stuff.

Maybe they're the ones writing the lyrics, so maybe it is. But my operating principle is kind of, if I'm having a good time and everyone's having a good time, we're doing something good. We're not writing a bad song. We're just not. If we were writing a bad song in this room of professionals, we wouldn't be having a good time.

I don't know of many songwriters who are just dead serious. I've maybe met a couple. So I think my operating principle is to have a good time. That's going to be the funnest day, no matter what. It's probably going to be a better song for it if you're having fun and you like the people and they like you, and everything's going well.

I won't speak for myself as much as just the amazing people who I've worked with. You can't understand what kind of work has to go into a song. It's so funny, because it's a three-minute thing that sounds like most people can do it in an hour or something, but some of these things take months of work to get right.

As the world re-emerges from the pandemic, artists channeled a brighter energy in their music, using more upbeat melodies and lyrics that emphasized fun and romance. Chlöe provided the twerk-friendly anthems, while FKA Twigs' Caprisongs mixtape featured a song for every kind of party imaginable.

Peacock's Bel-Air star Coco Jones proved her singing ability was equally as strong as her acting skills, as she captured hearts with her debut EP, What I Didn't Tell You, including the yearning single "ICU." Amber Mark, also a fellow newcomer, released her debut album Three Dimensions Deep. The LP features an array of genres, but songs like "Softly" are what really entranced listeners.

The appreciation for R&B spans shores, and British artists delivered fresh spins on the genre. Cheltenham's FKA Twigs set the energetic tone with the January release of her first mixtape, Caprisongs, which is filled with a kaleidoscope of sounds from drum and bass to trap. Leicester's Mahalia navigated heartbreak with her Letter To Ur Ex EP. Southampton native Craig David tapped back into his '00s style with his nostalgic eighth album, 22, which opens with an interpolation of fellow R&B star Jon B.'s 1998 classic, "They Don't Know."

FKA Twigs' Caprisongs features "Jealousy," a mellow collab with burgeoning Nigerian artist Rema. Two months later, Rema dropped R&B-infused music of his own on his debut album, Rave & Roses, which featured guests like 6lack and Chris Brown.

R&B is not always about love songs and heartbreak. Rather than dwell in their feelings, a handful of singers opted for a more lighthearted approach in their music. After jumpstarting her solo era with last year's booty anthem "Have Mercy," Chlöe kept the ode to curves going with "Treat Me." Built atop a sample of Bubba Sparxxx and the Ying Yang Twins' 2005 hit "Ms. New Booty," "Treat Me" is a self-confidence anthem.

"All that 'beef' stuff was a lot of BS. People liked to create that stuff to make stories, but we all had no problem with any of the other groups, to be honest with you," Lachey says of the lack of boy band battles. "Great songs are great songs no matter who is in them to begin with."

With an album of all covers, it was interesting to imagine Lachey taking on another group's hit song from the '90s. And although he admits he has no plans to do so, he does have a good idea of which tracks he would put his own spin on.

When it comes to revisiting old 98 Degrees songs, Lachey has plenty of fond memories. He cites "I Do (Cherish You)" as one of his favorites because it means so much to other people that many use it as their wedding song, but his second favorite has more memories for him.

This is one of the most popular songs from Dido, along with White Flag and Here with Me. It brings us the story of a person who, despite being luckless and miserable, still feels happy because of the presence of another.

While it may sound like a love song on the surface, it is also a song of gratitude that you can sing to your loved ones without any romantic intentions. You can dedicate it to your parents, siblings, and even closest friends.

Singer-songwriter Keith Urban originally wrote this song for his beloved wife, Nicole Kidman, while reminiscing about the early stages of their marriage. He says that it was a gift to Nicole for sticking with him through thick and thin, even when he struggled with substance abuse.

This song from Celine Dion is both a statement of gratitude and admiration. If you check out the lyrics, they show how the singer is determined to tell how much she cherishes the other person. It is clearly a song of love and respect.

As an album, Gratitude reached triple platinum in the United States and rose to the top position on both the Billboard 200 and the Billboard Top Soul Albums. As a song, Gratitude immediately rose to fame and became one of the most popular thank you songs of all time.

From the iconic pop band ABBA, this song reminds us that music can save our souls. Life becomes more fun and meaningful when we share it with people who can jive with the songs we love to sing and dance to.

It only took an hour for Andrew Gold to write this song. There are times when inspiration strikes and the words just flow out of you! This is especially true when the things you want to say come from the bottom of your heart.

If you take a look at the lyrics, this is a song from a woman to her man. It is a song of gratitude that speaks of how thankful she is for having met a man who can make her feel happy and deeply in love.

This is one of the most popular gratitude songs out there. From the lyrics, you can see that it is a song full of love, affection, and admiration. It is dedicated to all the people we consider to be our heroes. 041b061a72
