TLC’s New Song Always ‘Meant To Be’

TLC was once the most dominant of R&B groups—not only girl groups—of the 90s. Earlier this year VH1 announced they would be documenting the Atlanta group’s greatest hits in a biopic to be released in October, and TLC said they would be putting out new music as well. Now fans get their first taste of what T-Boz and Chilli have to offer with a new single, “Meant To Be.” According to consequenceofsound.net:

“To celebrate their 20th anniversary, TLC will release a new greatest hits collection, simply titled 20, on October 15th via Epic Records. In addition to chart-toppers like ‘Creep,’ ‘Waterfalls,’ and “No Scrubs,’ the 14-track album includes a brand new song recorded by TLC’s surviving members, Tionne ‘T-Boz’ Watkins and Rozanda ‘Chilli’ Thomas.

“Written by R&B artist Ne-Yo, ‘Meant To Be’ is a smooth and heartwarming track about sticking together and weathering troubling times. Whether it’s about their own personal relationships or the band’s lengthy and storied career, it seems like a rather touching and appropriate closer to the album.”

The VH1 biopic “CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story” is now scheduled to air October 21st, and early reviews are that the actors and actresses do a great job.

Check out TLC’s “Meant To Be” below and also check out the track list to the upcoming album, “20.”

We got here because readers showed up.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
