Taylor started the band in Liverpool, England, in 2014 with bass player Lewis Rollinson and drummer Brad Mullins. Known briefly as Trudy before rebranding, the trio released a series of stand-alone songs beginning with "All My Love" in May 2015. Produced by Spring King's Tarek Musa, it debuted the band's ramshackle, updated take on vintage rock guitar and harmony vocals. Their "Wild" and "He Sings" "double A-side" singles marked a move to B3SCI Records in 2016. Subsequent releases included covers of Elvis Presley's "I Want You, I Need You, I Love You" and "Baby Mine" from Disney's Dumbo. Featuring all original songs, Trudy and the Romance's debut EP, Junkyard Jazz, arrived in late 2017. They followed up with their first long-player, Sandman, on B3SCI in mid-2019.

I'm a Ruff Ryder
Hey
I'm a Ruff Ryder
Oh no no yeah yeah yeah
Mmmmm hmmmm yeah
Woke up one Sunday morning
My baby left a letter
Tellin' me don't forget her (Oh no)
She said I wasn't able
To keep our love stable
She knew that I was foolin' around (Oh yes she did)
She saw me with the girl downtown
So you sayin' that you love me baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Now as the letter goes on
I'm reminded of the time when she's all alone
All the days that she's cried
But never once did I ever see the pain in her eyes (No no)
She said that I was wrong
That a man who doesn't care isn't all alone (Silly ass nigga)
If I could do it all again
Girl I know one thing is I would not let you go
So you sayin' that you love me baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
You walked away with nothin' to say (Oh no)
Said you tired of the games I play
There ain't nothin that I wouldn't do
To find a way to get back to ya
Now you're gone and I'm all alone (I'm all alone)
Wish that you, would come back home
You know I need you here in my life
All I wanna do is try to make right
So you sayin' that you love me baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Baby baby baby
So you sayin' that you love me baby
Let me talk to ya (I'm a Ruff Ryder)
So you sayin' that you love me baby (I know)
I should of spent more time with you
So you sayin' that you love me baby
Can I make it up to you?
I should of been more careful
So you sayin' that you love me baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
So you sayin' that you love me baby
But you're gone forever and more
And more, and more, and more
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
Mmmmm-hmmmm, yeah
I should of spent more time with you
Cuz you was my baby boo
Rememba all the rocks in da park
Rememba when we made love in da dark
Rememba all da shit baby (I'm a Ruff Ryder)
And I'm gonna be sorry baby
Cuz I want you more than before
And more, and more, and more
The song "Ruff Ryder" by Trudy and the Romance is a nostalgic and emotional account of a failed relationship. The song portrays the singer as a self-proclaimed "Ruff Ryder" who woke up to find his partner had left him a letter explaining that she was unable to cope with his infidelity any longer. The song is a lamentation about how he should have been more careful and how much he wants her back.
The melancholic tone of the song is enhanced by the singer's clear vulnerability and regret as the lyrics painfully quantify the tragedy of his failed relationship. The singer's attempt to apologize for his mistakes is one of the central themes of the song, as he recognizes his actions and tries to make amends even though it may be too late. The repetition of the phrase "And I'm gonna be sorry baby/ Cuz I want you more than before/ And more, and more, and more," highlights the theme of regret, as he copes with the loss of his love and the realization that he took her for granted.

There she goes
Making her mind up
She leaves him behind her
But she won't
Ever be alone
And I'm hoping that she'll stop
Don't let the body move
There she goes
She don't want none of that
Making his [?]
Say goodbye love
She's a rider
Can't provide her
With the love she won't forget
But he could never complete her
The way she turns to break half of a man
And I'm hoping that she'll stop
Don't leave him for me
Don't want to walk that girl
Don't want to walk that girl
(I honestly can't understand what he's singing here)
She want to walk the sun
She want to walk the sun
(There's no [?] to make of what's coming up [?])
