I don’t think the song is about having sex for the first time but having sex with a particular person for the first time. Them dudes are a little ways away from their teenage years.
Yes, the song is about him having found the right person, being in love with that person and sharing a life with this person! It's MUCH deeper than just sex!!!
That sound that you're hearing in the song (well most from the 90's) is called orchestra hit. The sound was/is a preset sound on a lot of portable keyboards like yamaha and casio back then...I own a yamaha MOX8 and the sound is called Impact on there.
"Baby I'm For Real" - After 7 "Heat of the Moment" - After 7 "If I Ever Fall In Love" (acapella) - Shai "Baby I'm Yours" - Shai "Rock Steady" - The Whispers "Can You Stop The Rain" - Peabo Bryson "Casanova" - Levert "Back to Life" - Soul II Soul "Keep on Movin" - Soul II Soul
I just watched your you tube video on your reaction to that slow jam Ready or not by After 7. To answer your question, the 2 guys singing are related to producer Babyface. Their names are Melvin & Kevon Edmonds ( Melvin is the one who's singing the first verse. Kevon is the other guy. And the 3rd member of the group is Keith Mitchell
I Swear - All 4 One Knockin' Da Boota - H-Town Whoaa - Mint Condition I Care About You - Milestone If You - Silk We're not making love no more - Dru Hill
You didn't hear the entire line. He said, "I made love for the very first time.. With YOU" meaning he wasn't a virgin but it was the first time he got draws from HER
He said ”I made love for the very first time... with you” He was talking about his first experience with that particular woman. It's fine, good video. Another good song by a group is Take 6 ”Spread Love” they are related to Brian McKnight. Like After Seven is to Babyface. Could you also please react to Chante Moore ”Love’s Taken Over” or ”Chante’s Got a Man” She is also famous for her whistle note, I don't know if it is technically considered that, but she has a really great vocal range. Think Mariah or Tamia. Please, Please do Lalah Hathaway, daughter of Donnie Hathaway ” Something” the live version with Snarky Puppy and ”Heaven.” I know you love Anita Baker and she has a similar vibe.
That sound is my favorite sound, its called an "Orchestra hit" it was well represented during the New Jack Swing era from late 80s/early 90s. If u havent yet u should react to Bobby Brown "On Our Own" video it has lots of Orchestra Hit sound effects in the beat. My fave L.A. & Babyface Production🎶🎧
I love that song too. I hate to be an old person and say they don't make songs like that anymore. They do though just not that much. I love Bruno Mars when he is influenced by this time.
Since Kenny Edmonds (Babyface) wrote and produced the majority of After 7’s music.....that part of the music you picked out and spoke of would be his creation. Face is the brother of two of the members....Melvin now deceased and Kevon....both beautiful tenors. Face is an incredible musician....playing several instruments.....writer of lyrics and a producer with a extremely successful career in the business......you need to check out his music.....he moves from different genres.....plays incredible guitar.....I am a long time fan of Face and After 7..... extremely great talent there.....
Yeah, that sound that everyone used in the 90s I believe was a just one of them synth sounds. It's just a variation on the glass breaking or shattering that was basically where it came from. Lol
True story, they got their record deal without even an audition. Execs hadn't heard them sing. Babyface said my big brother got a group and they were instantly were signed and working on their first album within a few weeks. Just showing the 💪 of Babyface
i heard/saw this song performed LIVE at Madison Square Garden at the New Jack Swing Reunion Tour in the summer of 2006. After 7 was the first act. they were followed by Tony! Toni! Toné!, then BLACKstreet and the showstopper finale was GUY!!! it was amazing to hear "You Can Call Me Crazy" by GUY and "Can't Stop" by After 7 live. it was quite the night.
Hi great After 7 reaction you should really check out the group Guy another late 80s early 90s group and there songs “ I Like “ , Groove Me” and “Lets Chill”. Thanks
Thanks for that answer. I loved when Bruno Mars won an award and was talking about Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They effected his music so much and I just love his music because of that. He's so retro.
This song is one of those that taught me how to love. Culture matters, I wish they still made songs like this. I watched this video so much in my formative years and it was a part of shaping me as a person
LeVert is great group to check out too. Lead singer Gerald and Sean are the sons of legend, Eddie Levert from the O'Jays. Gerald was also in a group with Keith Sweat and Johnny Gill called LSG. Gerald also had a successful solo career. Unfortunately, Gerald and his younger brother, Sean, both did precede their parents in death.
This is "LA's edit" and basically an edit of the "Extended fun mix". However the acapella vocal intro is not included anywhere on the album version or on Very Best of "remix" version. This "LA's edit" is exclusive to the video, the single version on 45, cassette single, and maxi cd single. The album version does not have call and response vocals in the verse either. Check out the "One World" 12" version popular in the UK. There were so many versions in this era because if you wanted a hit for a later album cut, you had to change with newer styles often remixed by another producer after market exposure.
You just gotta love this era (late 80’s/early 90’s) of new jack swing. Anyways, I’m so glad that you reacted to this song in particular because I thought it was one of the more forgotten and under appreciated songs of that era.
Another one of my favs! I miss them . I saw them live with Gladys Knight in the late 90s . One of the best shows I ever saw. I wish you would react to some Terence Trent D’arby , “ Wishing Well”
Ahhhhhh, so glad you reacted to this! This is one of my favorite songs from that era. I just can't believe I didn't catch it whenever you posted it a month ago. 😆
God take me back to my teenage years! You should check out Sara Smile for obvious reasons 😉 it’s a remake of the classic from Hall and Oates. Or do both 🤷🏻♀️❤️
Bro! Those are Babyface's brothers. This was my jam and still is!! It's sook 90s R&B. I think Kevon is one of the most underrated and may even be one of the highest voiced tenors in popular music history, along with Tevin Campbell and Trey Lorenz. One of them died in the past year, though, but it wasn't Kevon. Regarding the first time.. lol...not all sex is "making love," you know? And that may be what Babyface was referring to lol, as sophisticated a songwriter we all know he is, especially when it comes to the topic of romance and its issues. Just sayin. Lol
that sound effect you like so much Jack , is called an "Orchestra hit" , which is often used in New Jack Swing songs ( which this track is ) Njs was popular from 1989 - 1993 please react to songs of the creator (producer Teddy Riley) a few popular Teddy Riley produced Njs jams : Guy - Groove me , Do me right , Let' s chill or M.J. - Remember the time
Great song. I hope you get to listen to another song they did that was a cover “Baby I’m for Real.” Now...if you want to hear a song about “afterwards” lol, then you must listen to their brother Kenny Babyface Edmonds who made a very famous song titled “Whip Appeal.” 🔥
Till you do me right is another good after 7 song also similar lane to that is I don't ever wanna see you again -uncle Sam Also you should react to its written all over your face by Rude Boyz and Casanova by Levert.
I love New Jack Swing....which is that era of R&B (late 80's and early 90's). I don't know that effect. I am recommending any song from the George Michael Faith album. For a white man from England, he had some really great R&B vibes for a pop singer.
My jam back in the day!!
Rude Boyz - Written all over your face
Portrait - here we go again
Rude Boyz for sure! Written all over your face has that stank all over it!
Yes! You picked this best songs.
@@baycydeboy Especially with Gerald Levert sangin' in the background! If there is such a thing. lol He had such a "big" presence!
After 7 "BABY IM FOREAL"
Yes!!!! That’s the song I love most right after Ready or Not.
this!!!! just requested this!
Yessss!!!
Man it's been 4 months I really hope he do it.
🔥🔥🔥
I don’t think the song is about having sex for the first time but having sex with a particular person for the first time. Them dudes are a little ways away from their teenage years.
Correct. The lyric is split. He says "I made love for the very first time... [pause] with you".
Yes, the song is about him having found the right person, being in love with that person and sharing a life with this person! It's MUCH deeper than just sex!!!
Exactly. The making love part was only a part of how he felt. This song is much deeper than just sex
Thanks for clearing that up. He basically made fun of the song thru this whole video because he misunderstood the lyric
Az Yet- “Last Night” .
that damned song lmao that song haunted me all throughout high school!
How the hell did i miss after 7? Bro this group is fire. They have taking my time is 🔥 baby face brothers
After 7 - Til You do me right
THIS!
My fave by them
"I made love for the very first time... WITH YOU." You did catch that part right? LOL! Great review.
You also have to react to After 7 - ‘Heat Of The Moment’🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Portrait's "Here we go Again" has a similar energy to this song, very fun energy to this song, so please react to it!
That was my jam!
Love tht song so much!
Yessssssss
"Honey Dip" by Portrait was cute too
Yasssss
That sound that you're hearing in the song (well most from the 90's) is called orchestra hit. The sound was/is a preset sound on a lot of portable keyboards like yamaha and casio back then...I own a yamaha MOX8 and the sound is called Impact on there.
🔥🔥🔥
The 2 singers you hear singing are also Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds brothers. One of them has sadly passed away.

If I ever fall in love (acapella) my
Favorite R%b song all time
that sound effect you like so much is called the "orchestra hit". Very popular in late 80s, early 90s r&b
I love to see you laugh and smile when your enjoying the music you share with us. Your smile makes me smile and blush it's contagious!!!!🥰🥰🥰
The lead singer is Kevon Edmonds. Check out his hit "No Love" or 24/7"
I love After 7! I so miss when R&B had people who had soul and could SANG
if you wanna hear a good acapella do the acapella version of "if i ever fall in love" by Shai
YAAAAASSSSS!!! My husband Garfield does his thang💯💯💯
This group called Pretty Much did a cover of this song before their song 10,000 hours on tour.
Best Acapella song from the 90s!
I just watched your you tube video on your reaction to that slow jam Ready or not by After 7. To answer your question, the 2 guys singing are related to producer Babyface. Their names are Melvin & Kevon Edmonds ( Melvin is the one who's singing the first verse. Kevon is the other guy. And the 3rd member of the group is Keith Mitchell
Jack stays adding more bops to my 80s/90s playlist lmao
I miss 90's r&b.
I Swear - All 4 One
Knockin' Da Boota - H-Town
Whoaa - Mint Condition
I Care About You - Milestone
If You - Silk
We're not making love no more - Dru Hill
He ain’t ready for silk lol
Lol, he can handle it, he won't be the same afterwards
Has anyone shared with Jack that the two leads are brothers. And not just that, they are the older brothers of Babyface!!!!!
You didn't hear the entire line. He said, "I made love for the very first time.. With YOU" meaning he wasn't a virgin but it was the first time he got draws from HER
React to:
Goapele- "Closer"
Soul 4 Real- "Candy Rain"
All 4 One- "I swear"
He apply Sunday Jack, Rythm of the night from Debarge is such a good vibe, my go to song when I need to lift the mood🌸
I meant happy 😆
Yes its the lead singer Melvin Edmonds (RIP) who past away last year May 19, 2019 at 65 baby face brother.
You hear that sound effect a lot from 90’s music because this song was a LaFace production and all their songs have the same beat .
He said ”I made love for the very first time... with you” He was talking about his first experience with that particular woman. It's fine, good video. Another good song by a group is Take 6 ”Spread Love” they are related to Brian McKnight. Like After Seven is to Babyface. Could you also please react to Chante Moore ”Love’s Taken Over” or ”Chante’s Got a Man” She is also famous for her whistle note, I don't know if it is technically considered that, but she has a really great vocal range. Think Mariah or Tamia. Please, Please do Lalah Hathaway, daughter of Donnie Hathaway ” Something” the live version with Snarky Puppy and ”Heaven.” I know you love Anita Baker and she has a similar vibe.
Love's Taken Over-Quiet Storm Mix!!!!
There is an echo of Donnie in Layla’s voice.......pure talent like her father and Roberta Flack......
That sound is my favorite sound, its called an "Orchestra hit" it was well represented during the New Jack Swing era from late 80s/early 90s. If u havent yet u should react to Bobby Brown "On Our Own" video it has lots of Orchestra Hit sound effects in the beat. My fave L.A. & Babyface Production🎶🎧
I love that song, too!!! It's one of my favorite movie soundtrack songs!
I love that song too. I hate to be an old person and say they don't make songs like that anymore. They do though just not that much. I love Bruno Mars when he is influenced by this time.
From a kid at 5 to now a man at 36, this is still one of my favorite joints, thank you for posting Homie 💯
Since Kenny Edmonds (Babyface) wrote and produced the majority of After 7’s music.....that part of the music you picked out and spoke of would be his creation. Face is the brother of two of the members....Melvin now deceased and Kevon....both beautiful tenors. Face is an incredible musician....playing several instruments.....writer of lyrics and a producer with a extremely successful career in the business......you need to check out his music.....he moves from different genres.....plays incredible guitar.....I am a long time fan of Face and After 7..... extremely great talent there.....
Babyface seriously doesn't get enough credit for his legacy.
🗣🎙🎤This is Jaaaaaa Reaaaaaaccctttsss!!!!!🎵🎶 The intro slaps!!!!🔥💯💥
I was little when this came out, and loved this song so much. Today years old when I realized what they were talking about😂
That sound affect is called an orchestral stab. Like you said late 80s and early 80s. It's very prominent in the song Every Little Step👌
Another awesome song. I never knew what that was called. But I just listen to music, I don't know enough about it though.
One of my favorite groups all time.
My favorite song of theirs. ❤️
“After the Morning After” by Maze is another good one about the following days
Excellent suggestion. What a great song!
That sound effect is from the New Jack Swing era. Teddy Riley, Babyface, etc used it a lot in their songs.
React to Gerald levert- “baby hold on to me“ and “taking everything”.
Yes!
Gerald Levert.....Gone too soon .....an extremely talented singer as his father Eddie Levert ....lead singer of the O’Jays......
My favorite After 7 song! I heard this in preschool all the time. 🤣🤣
The effect you’re referring to is an orchestra hit I believe.
Very good! you hit the nail on the head! Orchestra hit is correct.
Thank you for reacting to this song! Forgot about this jam!
NEW EDITION "NOT MY KIND OF GIRL"
That’s my favorite song of theirs and “still in love”
"... Happy as hell" SHUT UP JACK! 🤣🤣
Yeah, that sound that everyone used in the 90s I believe was a just one of them synth sounds. It's just a variation on the glass breaking or shattering that was basically where it came from. Lol
True story, they got their record deal without even an audition. Execs hadn't heard them sing. Babyface said my big brother got a group and they were instantly were signed and working on their first album within a few weeks. Just showing the 💪 of Babyface
6:42 - 6:49 Jack: "I'mma changed man now...I could walk with my head high now" 😂 great reaction
i heard/saw this song performed LIVE at Madison Square Garden at the New Jack Swing Reunion Tour in the summer of 2006. After 7 was the first act. they were followed by Tony! Toni! Toné!, then BLACKstreet and the showstopper finale was GUY!!! it was amazing to hear "You Can Call Me Crazy" by GUY and "Can't Stop" by After 7 live. it was quite the night.
Hi great After 7 reaction you should really check out the group Guy another late 80s early 90s group and there songs “ I Like “ , Groove Me” and “Lets Chill”.
Thanks
Try Milestone Kevin Edmond is in the group. Their hit song 🎵 was I Care Bout You 🔥🔥🔥
3:02 That sound is called an orchestra hit, Vox did a video explaining its history and how artists like Bruno Mars are still referencing it
Thanks for that answer. I loved when Bruno Mars won an award and was talking about Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. They effected his music so much and I just love his music because of that. He's so retro.

I just can't believe I didn't catch it whenever you posted it a month ago. 😆
After 7 "Till You Do Me Right" and "One Night" 👌🏾
Kevon should have been a superstar with that voice
The next After 7 reactions needs to be "Baby I'm For Real" , "Can He Love You Like This" and "Heat Of The Moment"!
Heat of the Moment was my second favorite song of After 7 after Can't Stop. I like the faster songs.
"Kicking it" is another good one!!!
Btw that sound effect is an orchestra stab that was on a lot of popular keyboards used by producers back in the day.
Heat of the Moment by After 7 is a banger too
Thanks Jack! You stay coming with all my jams do Chuckii Booker
Now this is a good song ! You would love the group “Dru Hill”
God take me back to my teenage years! You should check out Sara Smile for obvious reasons 😉 it’s a remake of the classic from Hall and Oates. Or do both 🤷🏻♀️❤️
I don't think I ever heard anyone sing Sarah Smile but H & O. It might be because I'm old and can't remember. Gotta check it out though.
Yes!!!!!
Loving the intro young man...
Love the review as always.
Bro! Those are Babyface's brothers. This was my jam and still is!! It's sook 90s R&B. I think Kevon is one of the most underrated and may even be one of the highest voiced tenors in popular music history, along with Tevin Campbell and Trey Lorenz.

Regarding the first time.. lol...not all sex is "making love," you know? And that may be what Babyface was referring to lol, as sophisticated a songwriter we all know he is, especially when it comes to the topic of romance and its issues. Just sayin. Lol
You do know that two of them are brothers of Baby Face ?
Jack your reaction when you figured out the subject matter was priceless. Did it remind you of how great you felt the day after? Score!
I luv after 7 and this song!!!
The Running Man or The Cabbage Patch are acceptable dances for this song... 👌🏾👌🏾💯💯💯
Still haven't gotten through them all.. 😊. I love this group.
Heyyyy Jack👋👋🤗 and Loviesss... Hope everyone is having a Great Sunday!!!💕💗💕
After 7 - Till you do me right,
Sarah Smile
Check out “One Night” by After 7
Their live performance of this at the Apollo theater is 🔥🔥🔥
FINALLY. its about making love for the first time he's in love with someone.
that sound effect you like so much Jack , is called an "Orchestra hit" , which is often used in New Jack Swing songs ( which this track is ) Njs was popular from 1989 - 1993
please react to songs of the creator (producer Teddy Riley)
a few popular Teddy Riley produced Njs jams : Guy - Groove me , Do me right , Let' s chill or M.J. - Remember the time
During this time there were a lit of love songs for relationships.
Great song. I hope you get to listen to another song they did that was a cover “Baby I’m for Real.” Now...if you want to hear a song about “afterwards” lol, then you must listen to their brother Kenny Babyface Edmonds who made a very famous song titled “Whip Appeal.” 🔥
React to In My Bed remix by Dru Hill feat. Jermaine Dupri & Da Brat
Till you do me right is another good after 7 song also similar lane to that is I don't ever wanna see you again -uncle Sam
Also you should react to its written all over your face by Rude Boyz and Casanova by Levert.
Shanice I love your smile is good one
The sound effect you like is called the "Orchestra Hit"
The sound is an Orchestra Hit
It’s a Roland keyboard orchestra hit. A lot of music from that time has it.
Kevon Edmonds did a great cover of 'Never Let You Down' by Maze!
The Sound is a “Hit” sound
This song will 4eva go!!!!!!
That sound is the same instrument they used on Law and Order to make the *klang klang* sound lol 😜.
Force Md's "Last to Know" and Men at Large "Um Um Good"
That intro too funky I had to open my windows 🔥🔥
I love New Jack Swing....which is that era of R&B (late 80's and early 90's). I don't know that effect. I am recommending any song from the George Michael Faith album. For a white man from England, he had some really great R&B vibes for a pop singer.
After 7 has a great groove to them!!!!🔥🔥
P.S. that sound you liked so much in the song is the "orchestra hit"
The making love opposed to just doing the do.
--with you!! Not his first time . Lol
