Mohombi was born to a Swedish mother and Congolese father. Raised as a child in the Congo, Mohombi and his family escaped the war-torn country for Stockholm, Sweden in 1999 when Mohombi was 12. His parents regularly exposed him to varied musical influences from early on in his childhood so that Mohombi soon developed his passion for song. Mohombi studied at Rytmus Music High School in Stockholm and made his stage debut at seventeen in the Swedish revival production of the cult show Wild Side Story. He pursued his studies and obtained his bachelor's degree in music and song from Stockholmβs Music Conservatory. He speaks Swedish, French, English and Lingala.
In Stockholm Mohombi and his brother Djo Moupondo, a local club DJ known as DJ Djo formed the group Avalon combining the dancehall and hip hop of the time with the distinctive African beats on which they were raised. From 2004 to 2008 the group sold over half a million records and won the All African Kora Awards, an African equivalent of the Grammy for the category Best Group - Diaspora Europe/Caribbean category, while Mohombi became a prolific songwriter in his own right. At this point music was only a part-time job, and looking for something more Mohombi headed to L.A. for a solo career.
Mohombi collaborated with Swedish rapper Lazee on "Do It", which was released in Sweden on 31 May 2010. It debuted at number nine on the Swedish Singles Chart. In Los Angeles Mohombi was introduced through friends to producer RedOne, whose own background is Swedish-Morrocan. The singer's debut single, "Bumpy Ride" is the first release on RedOne's label 2101 Records, a joint venture with Universal. It was released in the United States on 24 August 2010. Mohombi released "Miss Me" as his debut single in the United Kingdom on 31 October 2010. It features American rapper Nelly. His third single called "Dirty Situation" was released in Europe on 11 November and features R&B singer Akon. "Dirty Situation" is played at the beginning and then again later on in the middle of the music video for "Miss Me". Mohombi's debut album, MoveMeant was released in Europe Monday 28th February 2011 and is scheduled to be released in the US by the end of 2011.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We gonna rough it up before we take it slow (RedOne)
Girl, let me rock you rock you like a rodeo
It's gonna be a bumpy ride (the world is ours now, dale!)
It's Mr. Worldwide (yeah), yeah, you know the drill
Everything's European, when I grab the wheel
I'm from the city where banana clips'll lead you
It's all about the globe
I'm taking over like Alexander the Great, cities, countries, and states
From the Mediterranean sea to Okeechobee Lake (yeah)
You want my heart, mama, hurry up and wait (woo)
I'm gonna pull you over, pull you under
Make your body surrender to mine, oh-way-oh
Girl, you can make me suffer, do whatever
'Cause I know you're one of a kind, oh-way-oh
Tell me who can love you, nobody
Hold you, nobody
Make your body whine, like me
You will never find someone like me
Who can love you, nobody
Hold you, nobody
Make your body whine, like me
You will never find someone like me
I wanna boom bang bang with your body, yo
We're gonna rough it up before we take it slow
Girl, lemme rock you, rock you like a rodeo
(It's gonna be a bumpy ride)
I wanna boom bang bang with your body, yo
We're gonna rough it up before we take it slow
Girl, lemme rock you, rock you like a rodeo
(It's gonna be a bumpy ride)
I'ma spin you around, push your buttons
Oh, I ain't planning to stop, oh-way-oh
Let me take you down to the bottom
Work you all the way to the top, oh-way-oh
Tell me who can love you, nobody
Hold you, nobody
Make your body whine, like me
You will never find someone like me
Who can love you, nobody
Hold you, nobody
Make your body whine, like me
You will never find someone like me
I wanna boom bang bang with your body, yo
We're gonna rough it up before we take it slow
Girl, lemme rock you, rock you like a rodeo
(It's gonna be a bumpy ride)
I wanna boom bang bang with your body, yo
We're gonna rough it up before we take it slow
Girl, lemme rock you, rock you like a rodeo
(It's gonna be a bumpy ride)
Yeah, I'm back baby (yeah)
I know you think you're all that, baby
But damn, that ass fat, baby (dale)
I ain't gon' lie, now look at me in my eyes
And listen when I tell you, my woman's a ride or die (woo)
So, ain't no time to play (nah), ain't no time to waste (nah)
No Twitter, no Facebook, MySpace
TΓΊ eres mujer hecha 'e 'recha
Dime la jugada, dale mama echa (woo)
I'm gonna pull you over, pull you under
Make your body surrender to mine
Girl, you can make me suffer, do whatever
