Lohan became known as a triple threat after signing with Casablanca Records and releasing two studio albums, the platinum-certified Speak (2004) and gold-certified A Little More Personal (Raw) (2005). She also starred in the comedies Herbie: Fully Loaded (2005) and Just My Luck (2006). In order to showcase her range, Lohan began choosing roles in independent films such as A Prairie Home Companion and Bobby (both 2006) and Chapter 27 (2007). Her reported behavior during the filming of the dramedy Georgia Rule in 2006 marked the start of a series of personal struggles that would plague her life and career for most of the next decade. She became a fixture in the tabloid press for her frequent legal issues, court appearances and stints in rehabilitation facilities. This period saw her lose several roles, negatively impacting her career and public image. In an attempt to return to acting, she appeared in Liz & Dick (2012) and The Canyons (2013), but were both met with negative reviews.
In 2013, under the guidance of Oprah Winfrey, Lohan filmed the docu-series Lindsay (2014), which depicted her returning to work. She subsequently made her stage debut in the London West End production of Speed-the-Plow (2014), starred in the second season of the comedy series Sick Note (2018), and served as a panelist in the first season of Masked Singer Australia (2019). Between 2016 and 2018, she opened three beach clubs in Greece, which were the focus of the MTV reality television series Lindsay Lohan's Beach Club (2019). After signing a multi-picture deal with Netflix, Lohan starred in the romantic comedy Falling for Christmas (2022).

Lindsay Lohan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Felling all alone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
Shine up my high heel shoes
Put on a brand new shirt
Get home early from work
If you say that you love me
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Felling all alone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
Felling all oa lone without a friend you feel like dying
Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you crying
I want you to want me
I need you to need me
I love you to love me
I'm begging you to beg me
I want you to want me [4x]
