Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, Lolo Zouaï describes her songs as "bittersweet bangers", a blend of wistful emotions and hard-hitting beats. Shaped by her French-Algerian background and her Bay Area and immigrating to San Francisco from Paris after her parents won the Visa lottery, you can hear the range of these cultural influences in her music, lyrics that seamlessly switch between French and English with a little bit of Arabic. Her earliest influences ranging from E-40 to Edith Piaf, fans get a sense of Lolo's artistic ethos, multi-dimensional, multi-lingual, autobiographical, and instinctively experimental and sweetly sensual yet dark and moody.
Lolo began making music while messing around with GarageBand on her iPhone to bring her earliest songs to life, recreating beats from rap songs she loved and laying her own melodies over them. She's a self-taught songwriter and producer which co-wrote "Still Down" featured on H.E.R's Grammy-winning self-titled album. Her skill in songwriting and production which has only expanded since and her strong dedication gained her the award of the Abe Olman Scholarship for young songwriters from the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 2018, Lolo was the opening act for Alina Baraz, "Alina Baraz: The Tour". Later in 2022, Lolo was the opening act for the Future Nostalgia Tour for 27 shows in America and Canada.
Her debut album, High Highs to Low Lows has gained over 100 million streams and her sophomore album, PLAYGIRL was released on October 14, 2022.
On November 2022, Lolo was listed on the Forbes 30 under 30 2023 list for musicians. In a recent interview at the 2023 Billboard Women In Music, Lolo revealed that her contract with RCA Records has ended and she is currently an independent artist under her own record label, Keep it on the Lolo and Because Music.

You think you're mine every time that I

In Lolo Zouaï's song "Ride", the singer is fully aware that her love interest isn't looking for anything serious, but regardless she knows how to drive them wild. The lyrics reveal that she is confident in her sexuality and power over her lover. She acknowledges that she is crazy, but also knows she is one of a kind and this fact drives her lover wild with desire. She is also aware that her lover does not necessarily need her, but he craves her presence nonetheless. The chorus "Ride, Ride, Ride" itself can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer taking control and leading the way in their relationship. The lyrics reveal that the singer loves having power in the bedroom and has their lover wrapped around their finger. She will make them fall in love, then drop them again with their hands tied up, showing her complete control over the situation.
The lyrics in "Ride" also delve into the dynamic between the singer and her lover. She takes her clothes off and locks the door, indicating that she is in complete control and her lover is at her mercy. She asserts her dominance when she makes her lover watch her and questions his overconfidence. The line "You think you're mine every time that I ride" reveals that even though the lover may feel like he has control over the singer, it is the singer who truly has the upper hand. The song's lyrics play with the themes of power dynamics, desire, and confidence, effectively conveying the message that the singer is in control of the situation, despite any pretense of balance between her and her lover.
