The title track “FanMail” refers to all the fan mail TLC fans sent and TLC thanks them by naming the album FanMail. The whole album cover was covered in as many names as they could fit for every person that ever sent them fan mail in red text as can be seen here:
[Intro: Vic-E, TLC & Left Eye]
Welcome
We've dedicated our entire album cover to any person (T)
Who has ever sent us fanmail (L)
This is a journey into life (C)
Love, and the future of music (Fanmail)
TLC would like to thank you for your support (Fanmail)
And just like you (Just like you)
They get lonely too (I get lonely too)
[Chorus: TLC & Left Eye]
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you, I get lonely too
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Ah-ah-ah (Fanmail)
Just like you, I get lonely
[Verse 1: T-Boz]
Waited for you for so long
Too many days since January
I'm still sittin' Miss alone
We shoulda did this already
Said I got an email today
Kinda thought that you forgot about me
So I wanna hit you back to say
Just like you, I get lonely
[Pre-Chorus: Chilli, T-Boz & both]
Baby, I could really get to know you
Take my time to show you
Don't tell anybody what we do
When I get lonely
Take me to another place where I'll be
Into space, just you and me with no rules
Just like you, I get lonely too
[Chorus: Vic-E, TLC & Left Eye]
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you, I get lonely too
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Oh)
FanMail
Just like you, I get lonely
[Verse 2: T-Boz, Chilli & both]
Ready for us to get it on
Ain't got a love to call steady
Hope it ain't like that for long
I'll be your friend if you let me
Don't want to come on strong
'Cause too many people wanna get me
But a girl will do what I gotta do
Just like you, I get lonely
[Pre-Chorus: Chilli, T-Boz & both]
Baby, I could really get to know you (Know you)
Take my time to show you (Show you)
Don't tell anybody what we do
When I get lonely
Take me to another place where I'll be (I'll be)
Into space, just you and me (You and me) with no rules (With no rules)
Just like you, I get lonely too
[Chorus: Vic-E, TLC & Left Eye]
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
FanMail
Just like you (Ah-ah-ah)
Baby, 'cause just like you, I get lonely too (T-L-C)
Just like you (Yeah)
FanMail
Just like you (Oh)
FanMail
Just like you (Oh)
Just like you, I get lonely too
[Bridge: Left Eye & TLC]
(FanMail) Man we had all kinda sorts of conflicting fanmail, the letters
Some parents was like
"You're the thieves (Fanmail) and the pimps and the thugs of stage"
Just like you ("And you owe every mother in America")
I get lonely too ("A public apology")
[Verse 3: TLC, Chilli & Vic-E]
Every day I think I'm gonna meet ya
Can't wait 'til the day I see ya
Know that you just might be the one for me (I get lonely too)
Every day I think I'm gonna meet ya
Can't wait 'til the day I see ya
Know that you just might be the one I need
Just like you
[Outro: Left Eye]
Be me, do what I believe in
And be myself and I suggest (T)
Everyone do the same thing, (L)
You do what makes you feel comfortable
Do what makes you feel happy (C)

I thought the FanMail concept was brilliant. So I took a bunch of interviews they did to create the actual “FanMail” song. I was listening to a lot of drum and bass, which was becoming big in London at the time. I thought, “How do I incorporate this without being too overbearing for people?” I alway...
We used to get so much fan mail back then, and we just could not respond to everybody. A lot of it got lost, and then we tried to retrieve as much as we could. So that was the song for the fans period. It was us feeling bad that we weren’t able to get to everybody. When Drake redid “FanMail” [with 2...
[The title] was actually Lisa’s idea. When we were going through all that [legal] stuff with Pebbles [Reid] and trying to get away from her, we had missed a lot of fanmail. We tried to fit as many names as we can possibly fit in the [album booklet]. When the record company screws you over and doesn’...
