After a trip to the USA in 1999, Jennifer Ayache went looking for musicians to make a group. She met Michel Giovannetti, a guitarist, and François Even, a bassist, who already knew each other from another group, and formed a new band. They started out as a three-piece before 2 other members joined. Those two were later replaced by Guillaume Rousé (on drums), and Patrice Focone (on guitar). Rousé quit the band in 2005 and was replaced by Greg Jacks, drummer of the band No One Is Innocent.
The band got their name from the Latin word "superbus", meaning proud, supposedly when lead singer Jennifer Ayache stumbled upon that word while browsing a Latin dictionary.
Superbus' style is reminiscent of a vast array of bands, from No Doubt to Weezer, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Sublime.
In 2002, Superbus released their debut album, "Aéromusical".
The track "Tchi-cum-bah" was the demo which caught the interest of David Salsedo, allowing Superbus to make a full album.

According to the Sikoras, Superbus are the founders of 'girl noise garage rock', a genre involving garage rock mixed with girl noise.
In 2006 the band released their third album "Wow" which reached number 6 on french album charts.
A year later Superbus released their first dvd Superbus Live A Paris which features videos from a year and a half of touring.
In 2009, Superbus released their fourth album "Lova Lova". The reissue of the album included a cover of Blondie's "Heart of Glass", which was originally a bonus track for the 2006 album "Wow".

Superbus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And let me entertain you
Blind, that’s why you laugh at
You hate me more than ever
You are my mind offender
You are my agony
I like you more than ever
Please, please stay close to me
I want you back, no matter what
She is a fallen from my eyes
I want you now, no matter how
Thought that we could leave in rise
You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away and I want you back today
Cry, it’s more enough then
And let me bother you one more time
I know you’re crying
I know you’re complicated
You are my mind offender
You are my agony
I like you more than ever
Please, please stay close to me
I want you back, no matter what
She is a fallen from my eyes
I want you now, no matter how
Thought that we could leave in rise
You blow me away
You blow me away
You blow me away and I want you back today
Today
I want you back, I want you
I want you back, I want you
I want you back! Meet you
I want you back! Meet you
I want you back, no matter what
I want you
I want you now, no matter how
I want you
Blow me away! Meet you
Blow me away! Meet you
I want you
The song "Rise" by Superbus is a plea to a former lover to return to the singer's life. The chorus asserts, "You blow me away, and I want you back today," and the verses express the singer's affection for and attraction to the ex-partner. The lyrics also describe the complexity of their relationship, with the ex being both a "mind offender" and a source of agony, but still someone who the singer cares for deeply.
The opening lines suggest that the ex-partner may have been dismissive of the singer in the past, with the reference to being "blind" and laughing at the singer. However, the singer's feelings for the ex are presented as unwavering and persistent, with repeated pleas to "stay close to me" and a declaration that "I like you more than ever." The repetition of the phrase "I want you back" emphasizes the urgency of the singer's desire, with the word "back" indicating a desire to return to a previous state of closeness and intimacy.
The chorus emphasizes the strength of the singer's attraction to the ex-partner, with the metaphor of being blown away suggesting that the singer is overwhelmed by their feelings. The use of the phrase "no matter what" and "no matter how" underscores the singer's determination to pursue the relationship, regardless of any past difficulties or obstacles.
Overall, "Rise" is a passionate expression of love and longing, with the singer desperately seeking a reunion with their former flame. The lyrics suggest that the relationship may have been fraught with problems in the past, but the singer is willing to put those aside in order to reconnect with the person they love.

And allow me to annoy you yet again

I recognize that you are intricate and difficult to comprehend
Today, I want you back, I want you
Nowadays, I desire you back, I crave you
Blow me away! Meet you
Astound me! Let's meet
