Lolawolf is composed of frontwoman Kravitz, and drummer, producer and film maker Jimmy Giannopoulos (also of MOTHXR and Pretty Good Dance Moves). Kravitz became friends with Giannopoulos while living in Brooklyn. They began collaborating on music and released the track "Wanna Have Fun" in May 2013. Kravitz asked them to join her in Los Angeles while working on the independent film The Road Within, to help take her mind off the difficult role of playing an anorexic. The band began recording tracks at movie producer Bruce Cohen's home studio in Hollywood at night. Cohen is Kravitz's godfather.Actor and drummer Raviv Ullman was a member from 2013 to 2014.
Lolawolf debuted at Manhattan's Mercury Lounge in November 2013, and released the self-titled EP, Lolawolf, in February 2014. The band is named after Kravitz's half-siblings, Lola and Nakoa-Wolf, children of her mother, Lisa Bonet and step-father Jason Momoa. They rejected major label offers to release music with the independent label Innit Recordings through Kobalt Label Services, letting them retain creative control. Lolawolf released their debut album, Calm Down, in October 2014, which was recorded in the Bahamas and Las Vegas. Rapper ASAP Rocky appeared in the video for the 2014 single, "Jimmy Franco".
Lolawolf opened for Lily Allen, Azealia Banks, Warpaint, and Miley Cyrus, for her shows in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth as part of the Bangerz Tour in late 2014. They released the five-track EP, Every Fuckin Day, on June 23, 2015. They toured with Twin Shadow, and performed at Austin's South by Southwest, the Paris Afropunk, and Philadelphia's Made in America music festivals in 2015. In 2016, they appeared at Lollapalooza, released the song, "Teardrop", featuring Miley Cyrus, and were currently in the studio recording a follow-up to the EP Every Fuckin Day, reportedly titled Prom.

Lolawolf Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
would that be alright
I could stare at your window
and fuck you tonight
cause I want you in the worst way
but I don't have a car
so you have to come and get me
let's drive
can we drink today and lay down
on the hollywood sign
and I promise not to breakdown
after my second line
can it stay like this forever
what happened last night
the last thing I remember
oh, the daylight so bright
let's drive
The song "Drive (Los Angeles)" by LOLAWOLF starts with the singer expressing their desire to be taken to the Westside by someone. They affirm that they want to be with this person all night and they even suggest having sex with them. The singer is open about their intentions towards the other person, confirming that they want them in every way. However, they do not have a car, so the other person has to come and get them. The singer is hopeful for the ride and sings "let's drive".
In the second verse, the singer asks if they can drink and lay down on the Hollywood sign together. They also promise not to have a breakdown after taking their second line, which could be a reference to drug use. They question whether this moment can last forever and reminisce about the previous night, which they can only remember the daylight being very bright.
Overall, the song portrays a longing for intimacy and escape in the city of LA. The lyrics suggest a superficial and hedonistic atmosphere, with references to sex, drugs and Hollywood, but the desire for a deeper connection shines through in the singer's wish for the moment to stay forever.
