He was born in New Orleans, Louisiana on January 3, 1986, to Robin Polite and Lloyd Polite Sr. His father died when he was at the age of two, and he moved with his mother and older sister Brandy to Atlanta, Georgia.
Lloyd was discovered by Joyce Irby in 1996 and at the age of 14 was in the pre-teen group N-Toon, alongside younger brother Chuckie. The group won Nickelodeon's cancelled show Double Dare 2000 against No Authority, and the group was signed to DreamWorks Records. Although two singles were released ("Ready" and "Shoulda Been My Girl"), their debut album Toon Time went unnoticed due to a lack of promotion from the label. The group eventually disbanded, and Lloyd began shopping around for a solo deal. He was soon signed to MCA Records with his first single to be "Young Girl". Unfortunately, as MCA Records dissolved into its parent company, Geffen Records, many of the artists on its roster were let go, including Lloyd. However, using "Young Girl" as a demo, he landed a new recording contract with Irv Gotti at The Inc./Def Jam Records.
"Southside", a duet with label mate Ashanti, became Lloyd's debut single and an R&B hit. The video was number one on BET's 106 & Park, where Lloyd and Ashanti performed the song live. The follow-up single was "Hey Young Girl", which wasn't as successful as "Southside". His childhood friend Ciara was in the video, and he is in the video of her hit "1, 2 Step". Both singles appeared on his 2004 debut album, titled Southside, which performed relatively poorly. A third single was never announced. After that, Lloyd appeared singing hooks on singles for label mate Ja Rule on "Caught Up" as well as on rapper Tango Redd's "Let's Cheat". He also made an appearance in R&B singer Sammie's video "You Should Be My Girl".
In 2006, a newly-recorded track titled "You" surfaced, featuring Lil Wayne (an alternate version featured Tango Redd). The single gained airplay on BET Late and it was #1 on 106 & Park. Lloyd's second studio album, titled Street Love, was released on March 13, 2007. The second single "Get It Shawty" was also very successful, reaching the top twenty on the pop charts. By the time the third single "Player's Prayer" was released, interest in the album had diminished. and with lack of promotion the song proved to be unsuccessful.
Lloyd's third album Lessons in Love was released in August 2008. The song "How We Do It (Around My Way)" was promoted as a single in early 2008, but only appeared on select versions of the album. "Girls Around the World" was the next single, another collaboration with Lil Wayne.
Lloyd has made guest appearances on television shows, most notably on the hit show One On One, an episode of Wild 'N Out on June 21, 2007 and on a show called Gotti's Way on VH-1. In an interview Lloyd indicated that he has about twenty tattoos, which include a picture of his father, the logo of his company Young Goldie Music and a "rebel baby angel".
2. Lloyd was a Christian modern rock/pop group who blended vocals with acoustic and electric guitars. Lloyd was formed when two original members of the rock/funk/pop group "Imagine This" teamed up with a new guitarist (who also was with I.T. for a time) and bassist to form Lloyd. The name change is necessary as Lloyd strays quite a distance from the Imagine This.
Think of Me
Lloyd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we've said goodbye
Remember me, once in a while
Please promise me you'll try
When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me
We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me
Think of all the things
We've shared and seen
Don't think about the way
Things might have been
Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me trying too hard
To put you from my mind
Recall those days
Look back on all those times
Think of the things we'll never do
There will never be a day
When I won't think of you
Can it be, can it be Christine?
Bravo!
Long ago, it seems so long ago
How young and innocent we were
She may not remember me
But I remember her
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
They have their season so do we
But please promise me that sometimes
You will think of me
The song "Think of Me" by Lloyd Webber is a poignant and bittersweet ballad about reminiscing an old love. The lyrics captures the raw emotions and longing of someone who is saying goodbye to their lover, urging them to remember the good times they shared together. The song is a classic example of a longing and heartbreaking ballad that tells a story of lost love and what could have been.
In the song's opening verse, the singer pleads with their former lover to "think of me" once in a while after they have parted ways. They implore their lover not to forget the good times they shared and to remember them fondly. Even though the relationship has ended, the singer wants to be remembered in a positive light, which can be seen in the last line of the verse: "Please promise me you'll try."
The second verse portrays the singer's resignation and acceptance of the situation. They imagine their former lover waking up without them and trying to forget about them, but still, they ask their former partner to look back at their shared memories and miss the things they will never be able to do together. The final verse takes a turn, with the singer wondering if there is a chance that their former partner will remember them. The song ends somewhat ambiguously, with the singer hoping for the best but acknowledging that things may not happen the way they want to.

Think of me, think of me fondly
Remember our time together with love and warmth
When we've said goodbye
Even though we've parted ways
Remember me, once in a while
Think of me every now and then
Please promise me you'll try
Make an effort to remember me
When you find that once again you long
If you miss me sometimes
To take your heart back and be free
To try to move on from our relationship
If you ever find a moment
If you have a spare moment
Spare a thought for me
Think of me briefly
We never said our love was evergreen
We acknowledged that our love might change over time
Or as unchanging as the sea
Our love was not guaranteed to last forever
But if you can still remember
If you still recall our time together
Stop and think of me
Take a moment to remember me
Think of all the things
Recall all the moments we shared
We've shared and seen
The memorable experiences we had together
Don't think about the way
Don't dwell on the what-ifs
Things might have been
Our relationship could have been different
Think of me, think of me waking
Remember me, awake and alive
Silent and resigned
Feeling resigned and accepting of our parting
Imagine me trying too hard
Estimate me toiling to forget you
To put you from my mind
Trying to get you out of my thoughts
Recall those days
Remember the time we spent together
Look back on all those times
Reflect on all the memories we created
Think of the things we'll never do
Thinking of the missed opportunities we had
There will never be a day
I will always remember you
When I won't think of you
You will always be in my memory
Can it be, can it be Christine?
Wondering if you remember me
Bravo!
Expressing appreciation for a performance
Long ago, it seems so long ago
It feels like ages since we were together
How young and innocent we were
Reflecting on our youth and naivety
She may not remember me
It's possible you don't think of me
But I remember her
But I think of you fondly
Flowers fade, the fruits of summer fade
All things come to an end
They have their season so do we
Our love had a limited time too
But please promise me that sometimes
But let me request you to remember me sometimes
You will think of me
You will keep me in your thoughts
