After Caitlin Crosby was featured in advertising campaign for Levi's jeans, she began to focus increasingly on music. Producers Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds, Ty Stevens, and Track & Field worked with the budding songwriter, whose mix of soul, folk, and pop/rock was also shaped by co-writers like Brian Wilson, William Fitzsimmons, Curtis Peoples, Plain White T's, and Josh Hoge. Although she continued to appear in films (including the Danny DeVito movie No Place Like Home, for which she played the lead role), Crosby's voice and songcraft earned her a record deal, and she worked alongside producer Marshall Altman on her 2009 debut.

Caitlin Crosby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Open fields and late night docks
Lets build a castle up into the sky
I am young and I am free
And I don't like what you do to me
Lets take a drive and
Ask these questions why
Whats the meaning of the only way
And whats the point if you got nothing to say
Save the world
I wanna see you try
I need to la la la la love somebody new
Cause without la la la la love
I am nothing without you
Whoa I am nothing without you
They say love is patient
Love is kind
But I'm not dumb
I'm not blind
Not too much of this down the street
Smoking signs and movie shows
I see a face but no one knows
Tangled up I'm lost between these sheets
People come and people go
But I want more than just a ho
Deeper than the deepest blue sea
I need to la la la la love somebody new
Cause without la la la la love
I am nothing without you
Whoa I am nothing without you
Do you know
How I get
When I am in love
You'd be so lucky
If I found that you
Are the one
I need to love love love
I need to love love love
Love
I need to love love love love love somebody new
Cause without love love love love love
I am nothing without you
Whoa I am nothing without you
Whoa I am nothing without you
Whoa I am nothing without you
The opening lines of the song "Training wheels and ticking clocks, open fields and late-night docks, let's build a castle up into the sky," serves as a metaphor for the feeling of freedom and potential that comes with being young. The imagery of training wheels and ticking clocks suggest that the singer feels like she is on the brink of something new and exciting, yet is still learning and growing, like a child learning to ride a bike.
The chorus, "I need to la la la la love somebody new, cause without la la la la love, I am nothing without you," suggests a sense of independence and self-discovery necessary for personal growth. The singer feels the need to move on from a past relationship in order to find a new one that makes her feel truly alive. The verses explore the complexity of relationships, the doubts that can arise within them and the fear of losing oneself in the process.
The song begs the question of whether it is possible to truly save the world through love, or if love is simply a force that can help individuals grow and evolve on a personal level. Ultimately, "Love Love Love" is a reflection on the early stages of adulthood, and the desire to explore new possibilities and experiences outside of the comfort zone of a past relationship.
