By the time Ryan graduated from NYU in December 2013, she had notebooks filled with various writings, including what she describes as "long short stories and long-winded randomness." She wrote "Mine" last June, after heading to Nashville to work with producer/songwriter Kyle Shearer (Tove Lo, Augustana) and latching onto the phrase "gold in the wreckage," which she had discovered jotted down in one of her many notebooks.
Phoebe Ryan caught the attention of the music blogosphere on the time when she started releasing various kind of remixes & covers of famous singer such as R.Kelly, Miguel & Kesha. But it is not much as it was after release of her own first single "Mine" in late January of 2015. "I feel like I've been waiting forever and ever to put out my own music, to make it official," Ryan tells Billboard. "And now everything's starting to get super real. One of my favorite songs I've ever written is now out in the world. And people seem to like it!"
Later on Ryan released her first debut EP "Mine" on 9 June 2015. Ryan says that she and her small team is "trying to get this thing off the ground before even thinking about such nonsense as a record label," but firmly believes that her goals will be achieved. But, later on she was owned by Columbia Records.
"There are times in my life where I'm doubtful, but I feel it in my heart that something's supposed to happen that's going to be wonderful," she says. "I'm just too optimistic, really."
Ignition/Do You...

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you do the things you do remind me of my Lexus Coup
That's why I'm all up in your grill tryin' getcha to a hotel
You must be a football coach the way you got me playin' the field
Now it's like "Murder She Wrote" once I get you out them clothes
Privacy is on the door still they can hear ya screamin' more
Girl I'm feeling what you're feelin' no more hopin' and wishin'
Can I get a (toot toot) can I get a (Beep beep)
Runnin' her hands through my 'fro bouncin' on 24's
While they say on the radio (Oh oh oh)
Do you like drugs
Do you like drugs
Yeah
Well me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
Do you like love
Do you like love
Yeah
Well me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
Cristal poppin' in the stretch Navigator
We got food everywhere as if the party was catered
We've got fellas to my left and honeys on my right
We bring them both together and we go drinkin' all night
Then after the show it's the after party
And after the party it's the hotel lobby
And around about 4 you gotta clear the lobby
Then take it to your room and somebody
Do you like drugs
Do you like drugs
Yeah
Well me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
Do you like love
Do you like love
Yeah
Well me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
It's the remix to ignition hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin' that body got every man in here wishin'
Sippin' on coke and rum I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin' weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun
It's the remix to ignition hot and fresh out the kitchen
Mama rollin' that body got every man in here wishin'
Sippin' on coke and rum I'm like so what I'm drunk
It's the freakin' weekend baby I'm about to have me some fun
Do you like drugs
Do you like drugs
Yeah
Well me too
Me too
Me too
Me too
Do you like love
Do you like love
Yeah
Well me too
Me too

"Ignition / Do You..." by Phoebe Ryan is a cover of R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" but with a twist. The song begins with Phoebe introducing herself and then directly addressing a pretty girl, expressing interest in her. The line "The way you do the things you do remind me of my Lexus Coup" can be interpreted as a metaphor for how the girl's actions are smooth and alluring, like the car. He tries to get her to a hotel, which may suggest that he wants to take the relationship further physically. In the chorus, Phoebe and R. Kelly both ask if the person they're interested in likes drugs and love, saying they do too. It's unclear whether this is a genuine offer or a euphemism for something else.
As the song progresses, there are several references to partying and drinking. The lyrics mention Cristal champagne and rum and coke, as well as fellas and honeys. There's also a line about the after party and then the hotel lobby, suggesting that the party doesn't have to end when the event is over. The chorus is repeated several times to emphasize the themes of drugs and love, with the phrase "Me too" indicating that the interest is mutual.
Overall, "Ignition / Do You..." is a catchy tune with a mixture of romantic and sexual undertones set to a party atmosphere. The song uses metaphors and euphemisms to convey desire and excitement, making it a fun and playful tune.

This is so nostalgic for me. This reminds me of when my ex wife and I first started seeing each other, 8 years ago…beautiful times. Thankfully music is capable of taking me back to those times. It’s almost like I’m there again.
