Insights
98° had a hand in writing and/or producing nine of the tracks on 98° and Rising.
98°' personal favorites on this album include "Still" (Jeff), "She's Out Of My Life" (Drew, Jeff), "Fly With Me" (Justin), "If She Only Knew" (Justin), and "Heat It Up" (Nick).
"I Do (Cherish You)" may sound familiar to country music fans. It was originally recorded by Mark Wills, who took it to the top of the country singles charts in summer 1998.
The song "True To Your Heart" appears in the Walt Disney Motion Picture Mulan. It begins playing during the final celebration scene and ends as the closing credits roll.
