New Edition have reunited a few times over since their Eighties heyday. In 1996, the group got back together for the album Home Again, and more recently in 2004 for One Love. In the time since, they have periodically reunited for one-off events such as performing a medley of Jackson 5 hits on the BET Awards in 2009.

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
