Context
By the time 'Now & Forever: The Hits' was released in January 2003, TLC had already established themselves as one of the most influential girl groups in music history. This compilation came after their fourth studio album, '3D', and marked a moment of reflection following the tragic passing of member Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes in 2002.
