Kygo started to learn to play the piano at age six through lessons. He decided to have a go at remixes and creating electronic music after discovering Avicii at age 15-16. After receiving over 80 million hits on YouTube and Soundcloud, Kygo was contacted by both Avicii and Chris Martin of Coldplay to create official remixes of one the artists' songs.
His remix of "I See Fire" entered Romania's Top 40 and remained there for 14 weeks, peaking at Number 2 as of June 3rd, 2014.
When creating/remixing music Kygo uses Logic Studio.
His track "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez, has exceeded 1 billion plays on Spotify.
He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date. (In 2020 it refers to his "hotly anticipated album scheduled for 2015.")
Shotgun
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love more than dope
No, I can't tell but
But if it came down to it
Up against the ropes
Hop me in your car now
Gonna just come out and say it
But I love you anyhow
It's just how we get down
One of us lost and the other is
Found myself a partner
Even though it's getting darker
If you feel like hope is gone
We can make it to dawn
Baby, we just gotta keep holding on
Don't let me go, don't let me go
I can't take it
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
You know that I'm your ride or die
So quit thinking
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
I hate your taste in music
Hate it when you smoke
But your kiss is fire
And if I said I'd leave you
If I said it goes
Then I'd be a liar
Gonna just come out and say it
I think both of us are crazy
But I love you anyhow
It's just how we get down
One of us lost and the other is
Found myself a partner
Even though it's getting darker
If you feel like hope is gone
We can make it 'till dawn
Baby, we just gotta keep holding on
Don't let me go, don't let me go
I can't take it
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
You know that I'm your ride or die
So quit thinking
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
You can't let me go
I'm your radio
Keep on turning me up
Oh, you can't let me go
I'm your radio
Keep on turning me up, ha ah
The lyrics of "Riding Shotgun" by Kygo, Oliver Nelson, and Bonnie McKee express a deep love that transcends material things. It's a love that is stronger than money or drugs, and it's a love that is willing to overlook differences and embrace each other's flaws. The song describes the ups and downs of a relationship, acknowledging that both parties can sometimes be crazy but assuring that they are in it together for the long haul.
The chorus repeats the phrase "don't let me go" several times, emphasizing the importance of holding on to each other even when things get tough. The line "I'm your radio, keep on turning me up" seems to suggest that the couple needs each other to keep going, much like how music can be a source of comfort and inspiration. Overall, the song is a heartfelt declaration of love and commitment, even in the face of adversity.

I love you more than money
My love for you is priceless and holds more value than money ever could
Love more than dope
My love for you is more addictive and fulfilling than any drug
No, I can't tell but
I'm not sure how to explain it, but
But if it came down to it
If I had to choose between anything in the world
Up against the ropes
When things get tough
Hop me in your car now
Can you give me a ride? Let's go
Gonna just come out and say it
I'm going to be honest
I think both of us are crazy
We might be a little insane, but that's okay
But I love you anyhow
Despite our craziness, I still love you
It's just how we get down
It's just the way we are
One of us lost and the other is
One of us might be struggling and the other is
Found myself a partner
I'm glad I have you as my partner
Even though it's getting darker
Even when things seem to be getting worse
If you feel like hope is gone
If you're feeling down and out
We can make it to dawn
We can get through this and make it to a better time
Baby, we just gotta keep holding on
We just have to keep pushing through together
Don't let me go, don't let me go
Please stay with me, don't give up on us
I can't take it
I can't handle losing you
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
I have to be the one by your side
You know that I'm your ride or die
You know that I will always support you no matter what
So quit thinking
Stop second-guessing
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
I have to be the one by your side
I hate your taste in music
I don't like the same music as you do
Hate it when you smoke
I don't like when you smoke
But your kiss is fire
But when we kiss, it's amazing
And if I said I'd leave you
If I ever told you that I would leave
If I said it goes
If I told you that it's over
Then I'd be a liar
That would be a lie, because I could never leave you
You can't let me go
You can't let me leave or give up
I'm your radio
I am the one who keeps you going, who motivates you
Keep on turning me up
Keep relying on me to get you through things
Oh, you can't let me go
Please don't give up on us
Keep on turning me up, ha ah
Keep counting on me for support, even when things get tough

[Verse 1: Bonnie McKee]
I love you more than money
Even more than dope
No I can't tell but
But if it came down to it
Up against the ropes
Have me in your corner
[Pre-Chorus: Bonnie McKee]
Gonna just come out and say it
Nothing for the both us is crazy
But I love you anyhow
It's just how we get down
One of us lost and the other is found
And I found myself a partner
Even though it's getting darker
If you feel like hope is gone
We can make it 'till dawn
Baby we just gotta keep holding on
[Chorus: Bonnie McKee]
Oh let me go, don't let me go
I can't take it
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
You know that I'm your ride or die
So quit thinking
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
[Verse 2: Bonnie McKee]
I hate your taste of music
Hated from your smoke
But your kiss is fire
And if I said I'd leave you
If I said it goes
Don't you think I lie
[Pre-Chorus: Bonnie McKee]
Gonna just come out and say it
Nothing for the both us is crazy
But I love you anyhow
It's just how we get down
One of us lost and the other is found
I found myself a partner
Even though it's getting darker
If you feel like hope is gone
We can make it 'till dawn
Baby we just gotta keep holding on
[Chorus: Bonnie McKee]
Oh let me go, don't let me go
I can't take it
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
You know that I'm your ride or die
So quit thinking
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
'Cause I got to be the one that's riding shotgun
[Outro: Bonnie McKee]
You can't let me go
