MUSIC VIDEO: BOYZ II MEN – “ONE UP FOR LOVE”

With their 10th studio album Twenty on the way, Boyz II Men dropped a visually inspiring music video for their Khris & Al/Babyface-produced song, “One Up For Love”. Their newest double-disk album Twenty is set to hit stores on Tuesday, October 25. The first CD will have 13 new tracks while the second will have 8 re-recordings of their previous hit singles.

When they premiered this single last month, founding member, Wanye Morris explained the meaning behind the song:

“One Up For Love” was a record I heard and my jaw hit the floor. It felt like a movement, like an anthem — we live our lives talking and singing about love. This song felt like a song that everyone can relate to on a global level. We all struggle, we all question, yet LOVE always pulls us together. From family, moms/dads, friends, sisters, and brothers to events that happen — if we all put love first, things will work out.”
