His sophomore album was titled "Del 2: Uppföljaren" and was meant to be released in 2001, but due to further label issues it was never released. It includes singles "Det spökar" and "Ayooo".

And Its Supposed To Be Love
Ayo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Messaging a chill
Curses make the head go round,
Brings a certain thrill.
Send you another world
Mesmerize your brain
It's the jewel of a pearl
And it's supposed To be love
Yes, it's supposed to be love
Well, it's supposed to be love
Say 'cause it's all 'cause of love
It's a sad and lonely song
Sour grapes and tears
Something dark is going on,
Going on for years
Body slam your lover down
Up against the wall
It's a sad and scary scene
With non grace at all
And it's supposed To be love
Yes, it's supposed to be love
Well, it's supposed to be love
Say 'cause it's all 'cause of love
Wonder how it came to be.
Things with me and you.
How we lost the way to love,
How we got so blue.
Body slam your partner down,
Fill 'em with regret
Who knows what the end will be.
It ain't over yet.
And it's supposed To be love
Yes, it's supposed to be love
Well, it's supposed to be love
Say 'cause it's all 'cause of love
The song "And It's Supposed to Be Love" by Ayo dives into the darker side of love, exploring how this powerful emotion can bring out the worst in people. The lyrics depict a relationship that is characterized by violence and emotional manipulation, with lines like "body slam you to the ground" and "curse makes the head go round." The singer wonders how she and her partner got to this sad and lonely place, where they are filled with regret and unable to find their way back to the love they once shared.
Despite the dark subject matter, the song is ultimately a commentary on the transformative power of love, and how it has the potential to bring out both the best and worst in us. The lyrics suggest that love is supposed to be a positive force in our lives, but it can also be messy, ugly, and at times even painful. By exploring this complex and multifaceted emotion, Ayo offers a nuanced take on the nature of love and relationships, reminding us that even in the darkest moments, there is always hope for redemption and healing.
Overall, "And It's Supposed to Be Love" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that asks important questions about the complicated nature of love, relationships, and human connection. It serves as a testament to Ayo's talent as both a singer and a songwriter, and has rightfully earned its place as a modern classic of the genre.

Wonder how it came to be.
Worrying about how things turned out this way
Things with me and you.
Our situation
How we lost the way to love,
Forgetting how to love one another
How we got so blue.
How we became so downhearted
Body slam your partner down,
Violently push your significant other
Fill 'em with regret
Make them feel remorseful
Who knows what the end will be.
Uncertainty of the future
It ain't over yet.
This is not the end

Ayo, ma chère, tes chansons me font un bien fou. Continues à nous faire vibrer ! Et n'oublies jamais que tu es incroyable.

Ce n'est pas sa chanson, zut !! C'est la très belle Abbey Lincoln qui lui a fait ce cadeau, qu'elle est parvenu à décharner
Chanson sans gluten, sans sel, donc c'est une très mauvaise tentative de reprise - et ce n'est pas son succès qui autorise de dire le contraire.
Merci

Como hay muchos comentarios en español, me permito añadir esto. Por si no lo saben, esta canción trata de malos tratos. Canción muy dulce pero con un tema muy actual. Por cierto, aquí la canción original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chvXrFNMdy4... y la persona que la compuso: Abbey Lincoln - And It's Supposed To Be Love ( 1999 )
22 después..¿qué ha cambiado?
