I think "Survivor" might have been one of the first songs we recorded for the album. There are people to this day who listen to those songs and "Survivor" is played for various [occasions and causes], especially during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I love that it still helps people that go through things.
They can raise their hand and be like, "Wow, I made it. I survived this. It was so fun. I think we recorded it in Hawaii. I loved whenever we got to do international tours in London [or] Australia, and [I loved going] back at home where you could go to your own state and perform. For me, it was Illinois. For the girls, it was Texas. And honey, we loved to eat.
Food was our thing that really bonded us. It really was. I was like, "Wow, a legend like Sting is presenting us with an award. People have always dreamed about Grammys, [we won two as a group]. Those were blessings, but the biggest reward of all is still having relationships, still taking family vacations together with one another.
I remember while filming the "Survivor" music video, especially the moment that we were simulating that we were out in the ocean. It was just a big pool and they were throwing all this water in our face.

To this day, there are a few staff from Columbia [Records] that I actually miss. A few days ago, the girls and I were [reminiscing] about them. We did our first solo albums [in and ] and then we came back and did the group album [ Destiny Fulfilled in ] and I thought that was gonna be the order in which we did things. But I realize too, the girls had been doing this since before I got with the group.
They were 9 and 10 years old. We have lived that title, Survivor. We were so young musically but still ahead of the time. We were innovative and even when I look back 20 years later, I see the growth that each of us has had. It's about how people used to tell us that, 'Y'all ain't gonna make it So, when their single coming out? One song from The Writing's on the Wall that garnered plenty of airplay on the radio and in the clubs was "Jumpin', Jumpin'," which was released as the fourth and final single from the album.
