January 28, 1995 –
TLC started a four week run at No.1 on Billboards singles chart with Creep, the group’s first US No.1 hit. The song made No.6 in the UK the following year.
The trio had mixed feelings about the adulterous relationship portrayed in the lyrics. Tionne “T-Boz” Watkins thought the subject was an important one. She told Billboard: “We thought that was a good relationship to talk about because a lot of people don’t admit that’s how they feel – that their man’s playing on them and they want to be with him so they seek attention elsewhere, but they really want to be with their guy.”
