Hence her forthcoming EP's title 'Charlotte'. The six song EP is led by single 'Talk You Down', an addictive percussion-driven electronic pop number about her anxiety. Elsewhere she explores fear and struggle through a relationship on 'Sin x Secret', a sense of feeling lost on 'Cowboys', aching heartbreak on 'Slow Motion', the perils of love on 'You', and addiction and dependence on 'RX'.
Born and raised in LA, Lawrence spent little time in the city and more by the Malibu coast and up in the canyons. She grew up playing piano from the age of five and got into guitar around the age of 13. Charlotte has spent the past few years writing and recording while finding her musical voice, and she's just getting started.
You're the One That I Want
Charlotte Lawrence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm losing control
′Cause the power, you're supplying
It's electrifying
You better shape up, ′cause I need a man
And my heart is set on you
You better shape up, you better understand
Nothing left, nothing left for me to do
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
If you're filled with affection
You′re too shy to convey
Meditate in my direction
Feel your way
I better shape up, 'cause you need a man
I need a ma who can keep me satisfied
I better shape up, if I′m gonna prove
Yoy better prove that my faith is justified
Are you sure? Yes I'm e down deep inside
You're the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You're the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
You're the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho, the one that I need
Oh yes indeed
You′re the one that I want
Ho, ho, ho honey
Your're the one that I want
Ho, ho, honey
Charlotte Lawrence's song You're The One That I Want is a cover of the classic Grease song sung by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John. The opening lines of the song, "I got chills, they're multiplying and I'm losing control" is a clear indication of the intensity of the love the singer is feeling. The idea of chills running down one's spine due to overwhelming emotions is a common metaphor in love songs. The intense feeling is attributed to the power the person they love holds over them as seen by the line "′Cause the power, you're supplying, It's electrifying". The singer is acknowledging the control the person has over them and is more than willing to submit themselves to that power.
The next few lines of the song, "You better shape up, ′cause I need a man and my heart is set on you" clearly indicates the urgency of the situation. The singer is letting the person know that they need to improve themselves or shape up because she needs a man in her life and has set her sights on him. The singer then addresses the person saying they are the one she wants and needs as seen in the lines "You′re the one that I want, Ho, ho, ho the one that I need, Oh yes indeed". She urges the person to express their feelings towards her as she says "If you're filled with affection, you're too shy to convey, Meditate in my direction, Feel your way". The singer's need for the person is so strong that she is willing to change herself to keep the person as seen in the line "I better shape up, 'cause you need a man, I need a ma who can keep me satisfied".

This is insaaaane!!! You really pulled off the sexy version of the song from its upbeat, feel-good vibes and really made it your own. Reminds me of Beyonce's "Crazy in Love" for 50 shades. Would've been so fitting to soundtrack. AMAZING JOB!!!! Spotify has blessed me 🙏🏽❤
