Coming from the One Love album and another hiatus of 8 years, New Edition was now in a position where they were complete with their MCA contract, gained the masters for all the music recorded under the label and now with Bad Boy Records. While this union may have seemed promising in some respects, it didn’t quite measure up to what was expected. For the first release, Hot 2Nite, the group didn’t feel the single catered to the taste of their mature audience. However, it was still released and hit 35 on the Billboard R&B charts. Regarding of the bad start, One Love still had other songs never commercially released as singles. Here is a track done by Johnny Gill, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis called Come Home With Me which in my opinion follows the beginning storyline of a Teddy Pendergrass’ Come Go With Me and ends with TP’s Turn Off the Lights.
