Taking their name from the classic Beatles track, BlackByrd are in the process of turning adult-contemporary pop convention on its head, thanks to Lamb's new-found talent as a critical songwriter. "We've all grown, as people and entertainers," Lamb says. "We're artists now, and loving every minute."
Since January 2012, BlackByrd, along with promoter and music-industry veteran Mike Fuller as manager, have been creating a body of work that will be released as 13-track debut album this September.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A perfect gentleman and not controlling and a girl like me she'll be treated like a queen but free like a bird, have a love that's carefree
When we got right down to business
I must admit you kinda left me speechless with the Who's ya friend, why ya seeing him again, controlling attirtude that I have to contend
Why the sudden change why ya acting kinda strange
If you're pushing me away I wanna keep my distance Woah
No, no baby go slow you're driving so fast in a sixty zone
You gotta slow it down 'cos I'm not ready for love
Easy, go easy on me
You're picking up speed hit the brakes for me
You gotta slow it down, I'm just not ready for love
I said I, I, I, I, I, oh no baby I'm just not ready for love
I, I, I, I, I, oh no baby I'm just not ready for love
How could you think that your love would own me
I know I said I'd be your one and only but I never said I'd be your prisoner instead so take back all the shackles and get outta my head
And now ya call me some kinda diva
You're insecure and I just can't believe ya
What happened to the queen that you said I shoulda been
You trapped her with your love and now she's gonna break free
Why the sudden change why you acting kinda strange
You keep pushing me away I wanna keep my distance woah

Oh you're moving so fast 'cos I'm not ready for love
You gotta slow down 'cos I'm not ready for love
In BlackByrd's song "Baby Go Slow", the lyrics explore the feeling of being pressured into a relationship when one is not ready for it. The song starts off with the singer recalling the promises made by their partner initially - that they will be treated like a queen but would have the freedom of a bird. However, things start to change when they get into a relationship, and the partner's controlling behavior leaves the singer feeling uncomfortable. As the partner pushes for more, the singer pleads for them to slow down and go easy as they are not ready for love.
Throughout the song, the singer tries to assert their independence and make it clear that they do not want to be owned or trapped in a relationship. They highlight the inconsistency in their partner's behavior and express their confusion at their sudden change. The song emphasizes the need for communication and boundaries in relationships, and the importance of respecting one's partner's needs and feelings.
