Her debut album Ultraviolet was released on January 18, 2018, featuring the singles "U Don't Know" featuring Wizkid, "Back for More" featuring Jeremih, and "Don't Think About It". The album peaked at number 16 on the R&B Album Sales chart. Skye would release her fourth EP Bare With Me the following year in August 2019. The EP was later expanded as a full-length/deluxe album, with 4 bonus tracks.
Skye's third album Space + Time, executive produced by Timbaland, was released in June 2021, featuring guest appearances from Justin Timberlake & Rema. The following year, Skye's 2014 single "Collide" experienced a resurgence via the social media app TikTok, as it started to become a popular audio on the app. This led her to officially release the sped-up remix of the song, capitalising off the song's success. In January 2023, Skye would release the compilation album DARKSIDE, which took songs from both Bare With Me and Space + Time, while adding the original version of "Collide", as well as a newly-recorded solo version without Tyga and the previously released sped-up remix.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm fine with that
We smoke and drink all day, baby
And I'm faded like
I can't remember your name, right away, what I'm tryna say
I got that game changed, I got that game changed
I got that game changed and you want it
Deep into my gaze, brainwashing
Brainwashing, this is your warning
I'm 'bout to tell you dirty, dirty little secret
I'ma keep it daddy, daddy, can you keep it?
Don't say nothing that you know you gonna regret
Put your hands up in the air
It's a stick up, stick up
I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit
I'ma throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it up
You can't stand it
Yeah I'm a bandit
This club going cra-azy, like a maniac
Gold in my champagne, I don't care
Where my gangstas at?
Put 'em in the air, one time
Live your life no matter what they say, I do this everyday
I want the money, fuck the fame
Game changed and you want it
You've been looking at me strange like you falling
Deep into my gaze, brainwashing
Brainwashing, this is your warning
I'm 'bout to tell you dirty, dirty little secret
I'ma keep it daddy, daddy, can you keep it?
Don't say nothing that you know you gonna regret
Put your hands up in the air
It's a stick up, stick up
I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit
Ima throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it up
You can't stand it
Yeah I'm a bandit
Ooh, you've been looking for the wrong one baby
Oh yeah, and I know what to do to make you go crazy
Oh yeah, you've been looking for the wrong one baby
Oh yeah, I know what to do to make you go crazy (craz-eee)
'Bout to tell you dirty, dirty little secret
Ima keep it daddy, daddy, can you keep it?
Don't say nothing that you know you gonna regret
Put your hands up in the air
It's a stick up, stick up
I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit, I'm a bandit
I'ma throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it, throw it up
You can't stand it
Yeah I'm a bandit
The lyrics of Justine Skye's song Bandit are centered around the theme of living life without fear of consequences. Justine begins by saying that she is okay with going to play with no hesitation. They smoke and drink throughout the day, leading to her being faded and unable to remember the person's name. She then claims to have a game that changes everything, which the other person desires. However, as they stare into each other's eyes, Justine is warning the person of the brainwashing that is about to occur. The chorus then describes Justine as a bandit, throwing her hands up in the air, and warning that it is a stick-up.
The second verse reiterates the idea that Justine is a bandit and that the game has changed. She expresses that she wants money and not fame while living her life regardless of what others say. The warning of brainwashing is repeated before leading into the chorus, which emphasizes Justine's bandit behavior. The bridge then highlights the wrong choices that the other person has made before describing how Justine knows how to make them go crazy. The final chorus repeats Justine's bandit behavior and throwing her hands up in the air.
Overall, the lyrics of Bandit encourage living life fearlessly and without regard for what others might think. Despite the warnings of brainwashing, Justine Skye continues to throw her hands up as a bandit.

Brainwashing, this is your warning
Be careful not to be influenced too greatly by my behavior

Where my gangstas at?
Where are my friends and associates who act like criminals?
Put 'em in the air, one time
Raise your hands in the air, as a show of support or rebellion
Live your life no matter what they say, I do this everyday
Don't let others dictate how you live, I choose to live this way every day
I want the money, fuck the fame
I desire wealth and success, but don't care about becoming famous
Ooh, you've been looking for the wrong one baby
You have mistakenly been interested in the wrong person
Oh yeah, and I know what to do to make you go crazy
I know how to make you really excited
Yeah I'm a bandit
I consider myself a criminal or outlaw

Seri Kim
Zeina T3 yay a fellow kpop fan :D well personally I prefer justine skye over rihanna (I'm actually pretty indifferent about her)
Celectric
She deserves a lot more recognition then what she gets I personally believe she's better than singers like Tinashe for instance. Justine has the "It Factor" and I hope she goes on to do incredibly well in her music carer. I love the video concept and the song she's such a natural beauty. Love her!
DAZ187
