The Lyrics
I wish you'd look at me that way / Your beautiful eyes lookin' deep into mine / Telling me more than any words could say / But you don't even know I'm alive / Baby to you all I am / Is the invisible man
The Results
Released as the first single from their debut self-titled album 98 Degrees, it was the US boy band's breakthrough hit, peaking at No. 12 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
That was then...
Unlike most boy bands who are pre-packaged and assembled, 98 Degrees - consisting of four vocalists, brothers Nick and Drew Lachey, Justin Jeffre and Jeff Timmons - formed independently and were later picked up by record label Motown.
From the start, they emphasised that they wrote much of their own material, which reflected R&B influences more than mainstream pop roots.
This is now...
It's about to feel like the 90s again, as 98 Degrees will hit the road for a nostalgia-fuelled tour.
The quartet, now aged between 39 and 43, will be joined by fellow late-90s groups like Dream and O-Town, as well as singer-songwriter Ryan Cabrera, on the My2k Tour, which kicks off on July 8 in Kansas and ends on Aug 28 in California.
The 35-city tour is 98 Degrees' first in three years. They haven't hit the road since 2013 when they released their 2.0 album and joined US boy band New Kids On The Block's sold-out The Package Tour.
