"You Mean the World to Me" is the fourth single from Toni Braxton's self-titled debut album, Toni Braxton (1993). The track was released in May 1994 and was a radio hit, peaking at number seven on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the BillboardHot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The song describes Braxton realizing that her lover means the world to her, but he had better shape up or ship out.
The music video, directed by Lionel C. Martin, showed a sequence of Braxton playing the piano in a mansion intercut with scenes of her with her male counterpart (played by Michael Bacon, best known for his role as JB Reese in the 1990s live action show VR Troopers). It stayed in heavy rotation during the spring and summer of 1994.
