Roll up, gon' catch that fight (roll it)
Top floor, we ain't tryna go down (nope)

If you like it go down (hey, what?)

And if he ask I'ma let him go harder

You know you belong right here (Ooh la la la la la la)
You know you belong right here inside my arms (Ooh la la la la la la, ooh la la la la la la)




You know you belong right here

Overall Meaning

The song "Ooh La La" by Tinashe and G-Eazy is about a casual romantic relationship between two people who enjoy each other's company and physical touch. The song has a playful and flirtatious tone, with both artists expressing their desire for the other person. The chorus repeats "Ooh La La La" as a way of emphasizing the excitement and pleasure of being with someone that they enjoy.


The lines "I need love, you need yours" suggest that both artists are content with a physical relationship and not necessarily looking for a deeper emotional connection. The lyrics "If you like it go down / If you want me say it soon / Like my favorite little song / You gon' keep me singing all night" further emphasize the importance of physical intimacy in their relationship.


However, there are hints that this relationship may not last. The line "I might go ghost" suggests that Tinashe may disappear or end things abruptly, and the warning "lose your chance if you play me to the left" implies that she won't tolerate being treated poorly.


Overall, "Ooh La La" is a fun and upbeat song about two people enjoying a physical relationship without any expectations for something more.

Can't imagine how hard it must've been for Tinashe to go independent but i hope she knows that it'll be the making of her. I hope she's defined her version of success and won't allow others' versions to cloud her view and path. All love

@sharon21924

I think she’s been way more successful that way. She’s better off.

@futuredakid1

She’s also being managed by rocnation.

@julz_boe

A lot of artists that went independently say that it was the best decision ever
So I guess she’s happy with it too :)

@anthonycowan1952

She's definitely knows. She's definitely happier knowing that not only does she have all control and won't be stifled by a record label's A&R plan, she still has the support of her fans and the general public is catching on too. Every project she had control over, everyone loved. She knows her vision and knows herself and as a fan, I'm so proud lol
