In an upcoming episode of VH1′s Behind the Music, Braxton reveals an well-kept secret in the making of the Grammy Award winning song. The inspiration behind the bridge can be found in tightly wrapped joint.
Braxton explained:
“A week before [writing the song with Babyface and Bryce Wilson], I was introduced to marijuana, and I got high for the first time. [..] In the bridge, I’m singing ‘I want to feel your heart and soul inside of me / Let’s make a deal you roll, I lick / And we can go flying into ecstasy’, I was talking about [smoking a joint].”
Interesting. Love, sex or marijuana, it’s still a classic ’90s groove.
Behind The Music: Toni Braxton will premiere Oct. 29 at 10/9c on VH1.
