Tonic was formed in Los Angeles, California in 1993.<ref name="reuters2009">{{cite web |title=A Casual Affair: The Best Of Tonic Precedes the Return of the Modern Rock Hitmakers |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS105397+18-May-2009+PRN20090518 |author=Universal Music Enterprises |date=2009-05-18 |publisher=Reuters |accessdate=2009-06-11 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120911180132/http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS105397+18-May-2009+PRN20090518 |archivedate=2012-09-11 }}</ref><ref name="iowa">{{cite web |title=Tonic explains songwriting and 'trying to get chicks' |url=http://www.iowastatedaily.com/articles/1998/04/20/import/19980420-archive0.txt|date=1998-04-20 |last=Hosbond |first=Kevin |work=Iowa State Daily |accessdate=2009-11-08}}</ref> After signing a recording contract in 1995, the band released its first album in 1996, titled ''Lemon Parade''. Based on the success of the single "If You Could Only See", ''Lemon Parade'' sold 1,300,000 copies. Tonic also contributed songs to original soundtracks in the late 1990s, such as the song "Flower Man" for ''The X-Files: The Album''. Continuing to tour extensively, the band released an album of live songs entitled ''Live and Enhanced'', which also featured extra content, such as the music video for the song "Soldier's Daughter".

Tonic self-produced their second studio album ''Sugar'' in 1999, from which the song "You Wanted More" came to be the lead single from the ''American Pie'' movie soundtrack. Their third studio album, 2002's ''Head on Straight'', charted on the ''Billboard'' 200 for one week, yet the band was nominated for two Grammy awards related to the album. After the band ended a four-year hiatus in 2008, the greatest hits compilation ''A Casual Affair: The Best of Tonic'' was released in 2009. The greatest hits compilation served as a prelude to their fourth studio album, 2010's ''Tonic''. The band later utilized crowdfunding from fans to create an all-acoustic version of ''Lemon Parade'' titled ''Lemon Parade Revisited'' in 2016, before releasing their first-ever non-album single with 2021's track "To Be Loved".
