Melanie said she was in the studio, and was working on one of the tracks entitled "Never Be the Same Again", and felt something was missing, that may need a feature, and it came to her that will need the accompaniment of Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. Melanie expressed she always been a fan of TLC, and that Lisa was always her favorite member. With her rhythmic style, it could help set the song to a whole 'nother level! Melanie got in contact with Lisa and Lisa confirmed to do the collaboration. Melanie teased this in a interview, and the song came out with the album as an album track on October 18th, 1999 with "Goin' Down" already released as the lead single. After releasing the album-titled track "Northern Star" as the second single after the album's release in November, it wasn't until March 20th of 2000 that "Never Be the Same Again" was released as the third single. They shot the music video around January in Malibu, California before it's official single release when Lisa was fresh off of or still doing the 'FanMail Tour' with TLC to promote their third album, 'FanMail'.  The video is allegedly supposed to take place in Iceland, centering around self-care and good health, a chill day as Melanie C. is seen resting and jogging alone before doing tai-chi with Lisa.  After the single's release, Lisa decided to join Melanie C. on a European Tour to promote their collaboration. Her uncle, Fashion Designer named Kyle Young, joined them on their tour and designed clothes for their tour. Lisa's new boyfriend, Shawn Newman, joined them as well and where they made their relationship public.
