RILEY began writing music while in high school, but went to cosmetology school after graduating, becoming a hairdresser. He ended up tour managing for friend's bands, eventually leaving his salon job to manage a US tour for Pacific Dub. He tour managed his way through the Warped Tour scene, eventually becoming the tour manger for Capital Cities and blackbear.

R I L E Y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She ain't lived it down since the last time, nah
She don't wanna fuck but she still fuck with me
She wanna fall in love, but not in love with me
Clothes off touching me, yeah
I got it bad for another one
She held me down like she did
She throw it back like
I been going on for like a hundred miles a minute
85 to 4-0-5, you got me out my limit
I take her to places that I know she never been
I pulled her to cities that I know she never lived
I know you're not ready for the time to settle down with me
Wanna stick around with me
Wanna hold it down for me
She just wanna party with her friends in the hills
And she got a body like a bugatti, gave me chills
I'mma wake up and pop a sale in the morning
And they say nothing for it
I know she's a libra but she act like a Taurus
She don't fuck with all this tour shit
You'll be planning
I'll be at 695
You'll be, you'll be
Everyday she contemplating leaving me
It's funny cause I don't know where you've been
Everytime I'm driving through your city
It's different person you will see me with
She wanna ride with the city lights
Never turn down for the night time
Your head look through her nose until she feels right
She found god after midnight
I been going hard for like a hundred miles a minute
85 to 4-0-5, you know I'm at my limit
I took her to places that I know she never been
I moved to a city that she ain't ever lived
I know you're not ready for the time to settle down with me
Try to stick around for me
Wanna hold it down for me
She just wanna party with her friends in the hills
And she got a body like a bugatti, gave me chills
I, I've been cold
I don't know
How to take it slow
I thought that you would stay down, 695
Thought that you would
I been going hard for like a hundred miles a minute
85 to 4-0-5, you know I'm at my limit
I took her to places that I know she never been
I moved to a city that she ain't ever lived
I know you're not ready for the time to settle down with me
Try to stick around for me
Wanna hold it down for me
She just wanna party with her friends in the hills
And she got a body like a bugatti, gave me chills
In "No Limit," R I L E Y talks about a relationship that is not quite defined. He mentions that the girl "wants to fall in love, but not in love with me" and "she ain't lived it down since the last time." He knows that she has been contemplating leaving him and that every time he visits her city, he is with a different person. Despite all this, they still have a physical connection, and she wants to party with her friends while he wants to settle down with her. However, he knows that she is not ready for that commitment.
The song is a commentary on the complexities of modern relationships, where people want varying degrees of commitment and the lines between love, lust, and friendship are often blurred. R I L E Y captures the uncertainty that many people feel when navigating relationships in the digital age. The references to different cities and highways add a sense of transience and impermanence, highlighting how relationships can be fleeting and subject to change.
