No one that's gon' argue, no

Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gon' get better
I'm so sorry that it didn't work out
I'm movin' on
I'm so sorry but it's over now
The pain is gone
I'm puttin' on my shades to cover up my eyes
I'm jumpin' in my ride, I'm headin' out tonight
I'm solo
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, solo
I'm feelin' like a star, you can't stop my shine
I'm lovin' cloud nine, my head's in the sky
I'm solo
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo
I'm ridin' solo, solo (yeah)
Now I'm feelin' how I should
Never knew single could feel this good, oh
Stop playin' misunderstood
Back in the game, who knew I would, oh
So fly, time to spread my wings
Loving myself makes me wanna sing, oh
Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (oh)
Told me get my - together
Now I got my - together (yeah)
Now I made it through the weather
Better days are gon' get better
I'm so sorry (sorry) that it didn't work out

About This Song
"Ridin' Solo" is an upbeat celebration of newfound independence and self-empowerment following the end of a relationship. The song captures the liberating feeling of being single, with Derulo embracing his freedom to go out, have fun, and live life on his own terms without having to answer to anyone or deal with relationship drama. Musically, it blends contemporary R&B with dance-pop elements, featuring a catchy, repetitive hook and an infectious beat that mirrors the carefree attitude of the lyrics. The track's distinctive auto-tuned vocals and club-ready production made it a perfect anthem for anyone learning to enjoy their own company. Its themes of self-discovery and finding joy in solitude resonated widely, making it one of Derulo's signature hits and a staple of early 2010s pop-R&B.
