Blackstreet의 오리지널 멤버로서 이미 세장의 솔로작들을 통해 알만한 팬들에게는 이미 노래 잘하는 R&B싱어로 인정받고 있는 Dave Hollister의 신작 앨범. 자신의 레이블에서 발매된 본 앨범을 통해 힘과 기교를 모두 지닌 소울풀한 목소리도 여전하며 건재함을 보여주고 있다. 로맨틱한 멜로디와, 편안하고 안정적인 분위기를 느낄 수 있는 각 트랙들의 작곡 스타일도 전작들과 큰 차이는 없으며, 전체적인 조율에 있어 한층 업그레이드 된 느낌을 준다. 컨템퍼러리 흑인음악의 오랜 팬들은 물론 팝 팬들도 부담감 없이 접근할 수 있는 완숙미를 보여주는 작품.

In the off season we get even stronger Build our love so we can last longer A perfect season isn't odd bu I'm asking for Just the fact you give a hundred things so much more Keeping this thing together We do all we can We'll keep giving back Long as we both understand It's gonna take the two of us to win it all I'm with you while we stand even if we fall.
Girl I'm winning with you I can't lose with you on my team I would never trade you There's no other player that I need Girl I'm winning with you Never leave my side when I'm out of time You never let me down And that's the reason why Girl I'm winning with you

Sometimes you would wonder if someone else was on my mind. I couldn't just tell you. How could I tell you? So I lied Trying to save something I wasn't being true to. So blind. I know that you know, but how did you know?
I lied even when I knew you knew the truth I lied didn't know what you would do so I lied to your face I lied I lied even when I say the pictures on the bed I lied you knew my every move and things I said I lied to your face I lied
Late nights I would come in well after 3 and hadn't called one time. You better not trip on me cause I might leave you and walk away in spite of all the things I put you through. I'm a fool, I know that you know but how did you know
I lied even when I knew you knew the truth I lied didn't know what you would do so I lied to your face I lied I lied even when I say the pictures on the bed I lied you knew my every move and things I said I lied to your face I lied
Noonday the mailman had a special delivery for you, you opened it and screamed, oh cause you saw me checking out of the Meridian with some floosie. I know that you know but how did you know
I lied even when I knew you knew the truth I lied didn't know what you would do so I lied to your face I lied I lied even when I say the pictures on the bed I lied you knew my every move and things I said I lied to your face I lied
I know the truth may let you down but it's better than finding out from someone else. I know the pain is still the same but I should've been a man instead of fooling myself
I lied even when I knew you knew the truth I lied didn't know what you would do so I lied to your face I lied I lied even when I say the pictures on the bed I lied you knew my every move and things I said I lied to your face I lied
