I’m So Into You https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> This sidechick anthem was yet another hit for the girls, especially in Pop.

Always On My Mind https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Definitely one of the most timeless sounding hit songs from this group.

Anything https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> The down to earth, hood trio enlisted Wu Tang Clan. They were fresh, young & on the come up but when they got w/ SWV on this ? It gave them even more exposure worldwide & it became one of the hottest collabs of the 90s
Use Your Heart https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> a song that became one of @Pharrell ‘s first written hits in his career. He was young but the gift in him was stirring on the inside and that + the beautiful harmonies/vocals of SWV was pure magic to the ears on this 1996 hit
Can We https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> The girls & @MissyElliott collaborated for the “Booty Call” Soundtrack, which ended up being a huge hit worldwide in 97’. It was sultry, freaky, & a bop that still slaps to this day
Right Here (Original Version) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Despite the popularity of the Human Nature Mix, the original Right Here became a hit also. It was their first song released & first hit. While the Remix was more laid back & relax, the original was more for the dance scene https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Someone https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> @Diddy was working with literally everybody during the 90s and SWV was one of them that had to slide on through https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)">, this head nodding club track is underrated imo but don’t be fooled it was yet another hit added to the girl’s resume

For a late 90s duet https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💿" title="Optical disc" aria-label="Emoji: Optical disc"> and a hot verse from the late Craig Mack https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✍🏾" title="Writing hand (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Writing hand (medium dark skin tone)"> The song was another notch under SWV belt of hits
It’s All About U https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> It was moderate but don’t be fooled it was a hit in R&B. The track showcased a familiar sample & lead vocals from Taj & Coko. It was funky, it was laid back, it was a lowkey bop https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)">
All Night Long https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Set aside for the classic “Waiting To Exhale” Soundtrack.

Hey Az https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Nas protégé, AZ chose the New Yorkers to feature on his hit song in the late 90s. Although the song features vocals from all 3 ladies, only Coko showed up for the music video. Most likely due to the already boiling drama within the group
Co-Sign https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Although they broke up right at the end up of the 90s, got back together in 05’, it wasn’t till 2011 that they released new music. This song got heavy airplay on R&B radio & became a Top 10 hit on the US Adult R&B Chart
Ain’t No Man https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Had to throw this one in as a bonus, the ladies came back around in 2016 & dropped their 5th album with some amazing slept on R&B music. They kept the SWV sound but still made it fresh. The song did hit #13 on the Adult R&B Charts https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
It wasn’t until 2017 that they received their very FIRST award & first honor after all that success and hits, which is crazy....If anybody need a Biopic, it’s SWV & @bet need to hop on it. These ladies are legends in the R&B Culture https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Not going to end this just yet, we gotta touch on those Album Cuts foo’ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire"> Love the other 90s female groups, but nobody was touching SWV when it came to those album cuts, idc. It was Top Tier Timeless. Nobody was sounding like them. Their albums were a different type of timeless
Anything (Original Version)https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌹" title="Rose" aria-label="Emoji: Rose"> Now this Original Version? Mannnnnn https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔥" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire"> THIS how you open up a debut album https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏🏾" title="Clapping hands sign (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign (medium dark skin tone)"> Sounding like angels coming down on a cloud https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)"> Taj & Lelee were a big part of those harmonies in their music & Coko was the icing on the cake to finish it off https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙌🏾" title="Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Raising hands (medium dark skin tone)">
