American Songwriter has published a list highlighting three songs from 1999 that became enduring "one-hit wonders" – tracks that reached significant chart success but whose artists never matched that achievement again. The feature revisits the songs' origins and songwriting credits, noting how each act followed up their breakout hit with music that failed to replicate the same commercial impact.

The three songs featured are Jordan Knight's "Give It To You" (a Top 10 hit co-written with Robin Thicke, following his New Kids on the Block fame), Tal Bachman's chart-topping "She's So High" (his only major US hit, though he later found success in Canada with "Aeroplane"), and Macy Gray's Grammy-associated "I Try" (her sole No. 1 single from her debut album On How Life Is). Each artist released further material and minor chart entries afterwards, but none matched the commercial peak of these three 1999 singles.

– Jordan Knight's "Give It To You" was his only Top 10 solo hit after New Kids on the Block
– Tal Bachman's "She's So High" hit No. 1 but he found no further US chart success
– Macy Gray's "I Try" remains her only No. 1 single to date
