Now Playing
Everyone love’s Johnny Gill’s new song with New Edition “This One’s for Me and You”, but Gill says that the group wasn’t originally supposed to be on the song.
“We were midway through finishing up and mixing, and I was playing the guys some of the songs from the album,” Gill recalls. “I just happened to play them this song, and the guys looked at me and it was real quiet, and the guys looked at me and it was like, ‘Come on, man.’ I was like, ‘What?’ They’re like, ‘This is a New Edition song that we need to be part of.’ And I’m like, ‘Are y’all serious?’ And they were like, ‘Man, let us get up on this song,’ and I was like, ‘Absolutely!’ So I went in and recorded them and it became a New Edition song, and I was so happy and grateful and blessed because I’ve never had New Edition on one of my albums. So this was special to me and such a blessing and such a pleasant surprise that they wanted to be here and wanted to be part of it and support this project.”
