"Thank You" is a song by American R&B/soul group Boyz II Men, released in February 1995 by Motown as the third single from their second studio album, II (1994).[2][3] The song was co-produced by Dallas Austin and Boyz II Men.[4] It did not perform as well as its predecessor and reached a peak position of #21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Singles Sales on March 18, 1995, and March 25, 1995, respectively, and also reached #17 on the US BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop songs. "Thank You" performed moderately well in the UK eventually peaking at #26 on the UK Singles Chart.[5] The song also peaked at #17 on the New Zealand RIANZ singles chart, #27 on the French singles chart and #33 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart.[6] The album version of the song is a cappella, consisting only of sounds created by the human voice, bringing to mind (and, at one time, quoting) one of their first hit songs, "Motownphilly".
Dave Sholin from the Gavin Report wrote, "Coming to the end of the road for ballads (at least until this track peaks), Motown's most successful and exciting act in decades turns up the heat. Slow jammin' or slammin' it, the Boyz's sound is hard to top."[7] Gill Whyte from Smash Hits gave it four out of five, adding, "It's another yo-ho gospel number with bottom-wobbling harmonies, obligatory hand-clapping and big vocals stretched to their emotional limit from the Boyz-with-matching-shirts-done-up-to-their-fat-necks. This one, quelle surprise, is a homage to the woman in his life. [...] Still, it's pretty darned funky with lots of fance, jazzy twiddly bits, and this is the moog flava mix, so you can bet your hymn book that means it's damned cool. Er, and it is!"[8]
