Keyshia Myeshia Cole is an American singer, songwriter, television personality, and actress. Born and raised in Oakland, California, Cole began pursuing music professionally in the early 2000s after relocating to Los Angeles, working with Bay Area artists and producers before signing with A&M Records. Her debut studio album, The Way It Is, marked her commercial breakthrough, debuting within the top 10 and selling over one million copies in the United States; it spawned the hit singles "I Should Have Cheated" and "Love". The album's success led to the creation of the BET reality television series Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, which chronicled her personal life and career. Her second album, Just like You, was released through Geffen Records and Interscope Records following the closure of A&M Records and yielded the pinnacle peak of Cole's career, debuting at number two and receiving a platinum certification for selling over one million copies in the US. Its lead single, "Let It Go", became Cole's highest-charting single as a lead artist, reaching number seven on the Billboard Hot 100.
