Her second studio album "Tendrement" came a year later featuring the same style and meeting almost the same success (900.000 copied sold). On August 2003, a live recording of Lorie's first concert tour waw released, called Live Tour 2003.
Her third studio album "Attitudes" came a year later. It has a more pop-rock sound even though it's a teen pop album on its core. It was not as successful as her previous efforts as it sold 500,000 copies, but it is still considered a big success.
After another live album and a greatest hits collection Lorie released in 2005 her fourth album "Rester la même" . By then Lorie's popularity had declined and and the production of her albums was dated. This didn't prevent her from topping the albums charts once more but the sales were very decreased. In 2006 an unsuccessful thrid live album was released called "Live Tour 2006".
Lorie's fifth studio album, and her ninth album overall, "2lor en moi?" marked the change of her sound. While most of her previous records consisted of pop/rock and bubblegum pop songs, Lorie thought it was the moment her music should become "more mature" since her fans "were all growing up". With the help of popular producers, a fresh new album was born, different from anything Lorie had done before. The albums sounds more like Kylie Minogue or Rachel Stevens, being more electro. The critics praised this transformation but in terms of sales the album was a minor hit. it debuted at #7 in France, less than any other of her albums and is certified gold. The singles were more successful. "Je vais vite", released as the album's lead single, had great response and chart success. The second single "Play" became popular on its own all across Europe, especially in clubs. On December 5, 2008, the album's third single, "1 Garçon", was released. The promotion was little but the song's lyrics ("parce que t'aime un garçon", which means "because you love another boy") and the video caused much controversy (for some of its scenes like the one when two guys get very close to each other and are about to kiss).
Game Over
Lorie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reformaté le disque dur
Et supprimé de ma mémoire
Le moindre fichier de notre histoire
Tu m'as plantée, un peu moins soft
T'as préféré une Lara Croft
Je t'exécute, je te condamne
{Refrain:}
Game over, je veux plus jouer, j'abandonne
Si tu crois que je vais pardonner
C'est trop tard, fallait pas m' prendre pour une pomme
Game over, nous deux c'est terminé
Tu m'as trahie, aie, erreur fatale
Hors de ma vie, j' te désinstalle
Redémarrer, c'est plus possible
J'crois qu'entre nous c'est plus compatible
Ni mise en garde, ni mise à jour
Pas de sauvegarde à nos amours
C'est pas la peine que t'y reviennes
T'es plus dans mon système
{Refrain}
Sur mon écran ton nom qui s'efface
Ma mémoire avait besoin d'espace
Sur mon clavier je tape en capitale
Un point final, que ça fait mal, que ça fait mal...
{Refrain}
The lyrics to Lorie's song "Game Over" paint a picture of a relationship that has ended bitterly. The singer has reached the end of her patience and has decided to "reformat the hard drive," essentially wiping away every memory of her former partner from her mind. He has betrayed her and taken up with someone else, symbolized by his preference for the digital version of Lara Croft. The singer then metaphorically sentences him to death, concluding that he is "no longer in her program."
The refrain of "Game Over" adds a layer of finality to the situation. The singer declares that she has had enough and is quitting the game they were playing as a couple. If her former partner thinks he can earn her forgiveness, it's too late. The singer's decision is final and he should not have underestimated her. The chorus repeats the phrase "Game Over," emphasizing how the relationship has come to a definitive end.
Overall, "Game Over" is a powerful anthem for anyone who has been wronged in a relationship and needs to move on. The use of digital references and metaphors ties in with the song's title and creates a clear thematic through-line. It's a bold, confident song that encourages listeners to take control of their relationships and not tolerate any mistreatment.

Ah, je me souviens, j'écoutais ça quand j'étais petite...*souvenir souvenirs* Je la connais par coeur celle-là. Bon, maintenant, je suis plus métal que Lorie, mais j'en garde tout de même plain de souvenirs^^ Mais la geek que je suis devenue s'indigne devant les paroles...Non, mais sérieusement, la moitié de ce qu'elle dit est incohérent d'un point de vue informatique! Ressaisis toi, enfin, Lorie! (A prendre au second dégré, hein, haters ;) )
