Born in Connecticut and raised in Coral Springs, Florida, Dion comes from a musical background; his father is a rapper and his maternal grandfather was a well-known Portuguese singer. Music was his passion and focus from a young age and after being featured on Kehlani's 2014 mixtape Cloud Nineteen, he relocated to Los Angeles. Within L.A.'s vibrant scene, he found his footing, and released the 2016 EP Painting Sounds. Presenting a bright panoply of pop, R&B, funk, and soul, Dion spent the next three years issuing eclectic, catchy singles like "Baby Esther" and the falsetto-heavy ballad "Brown," the latter of which became the heavily streamed standout of his 2019 debut album Suga. Appearing two years later, his full-length follow-up, Sassy, embraced his playful, fun-loving attitude. 2022 saw Dion team up with Zimbabwean-Australian rapper Tkay Maidza on the slinky single "Hazy."

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you're not with me? (You're not with me, oh baby, no)
Feel your smile through the phone (ohh yeah)
Make it so easy
Where you are? Tell me where
I'll go where you are
Say the word, I'll be there
I'm 'bout to leave (I'm 'bout to leave)
I gotta leave
Somebody wanna see me, I wanna see
I'll lick you like a Reese's, my Mona Lisa
Got me singin' like Bee Gees up in the sheets
Don't stop (don't stop)
Yeah, you got me
Don't stop (don't stop)
Yeah, you got me
Don't stop
Yeah, you got me
Placebo
Placebo
Ooh, I love it when you dance on me
Crop top, diamond in your belly (that's that shit)
Lamborghini, slide with me
Spendin' all your time with me
Where you are? Tell me where
I'll go where you are
Say the word, I'll be there (I'll be there)
Anywhere you are
Do it the way you want it, any way that you want it
I'm dyin' to see you ridin' with me
Do it the way you want it, any way that you want it
I'm dyin' to see (yeah) you ridin' with me (yeah)
Baby, you reminiscin' to the ribbons in the clouds
That Stevie was singin' 'bout, 'cause I never seen a smile
No lie, no lie, I'm talkin' 'bout angels that get high
And you know that they can't fly off with one wing
See that little sparkle in her eye? That's placebo (placebo)
I can make the Crown Royal go down, that's that RICO
The lesser of two evils, baby, I rather love you than leave you
'Cause I ain't comin' back, this the sequel
Don't stop
Yeah, you got me (you got me, baby)
Don't stop (what you talkin' 'bout?)
Yeah, you got me (what you talkin' 'bout? What you talkin' 'bout?)
Don't stop (don't stop)
Yeah, you got me (yeah, you got me) (we don't stop)
Placebo (ha)
Placebo (yeah)
Yeah, hit that b-
Yeah, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, oh (yeah, you got me, babe)
Do it the way you want it
I'm dyin' to see you ridin' with me
Do it the way you want it (ha, the way you want it)
I'm dyin' to see you ridin' with me (yeah)
Do it the way you want it
You got me, baby (do it the way you)
The song "Placebo" by Kyle Dion and Ja Rule is essentially about a man longing for the companionship of his lover. He wonders if his lover is as merciful as she claims to be when she is not with him. He cherishes even the smallest things about her, like when he can feel her smile through the phone, and he is willing to go wherever she is just to be with her. He playfully talks about how he is about to leave to see someone, but when he is back with his lover, he will take care of her in the most intimate way possible, which he compares to singing like the Bee Gees in the sheets.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of desperation and urgency in the man's voice, as he pleads with his lover to not stop what they have. He calls their love a "placebo," something that may not necessarily be real, but it still makes him feel good. Overall, the song is a mix of sensuality, longing, and playful affection.
