Room

"**Room**" is Lolo Zouaï's 11th track from Lolo Zouaï's sophomore album, PLAYGIRL.

## Background

On 10 October 2022, Lolo talked about the meaning of the song in an interview with Rinse France.

> Yesterday (during PLAYGIRL Paris Listening Party), I saw people’s reaction to a song called “Room” and it’s the song I always told myself that this one was going to be great. I have a good feeling. It’s a song about being taken advantage of and the moment when you want to take your revenge. It’s kinda the song that started the album. I think it’s the first song I wrote for it, and I thought maybe I should open the album on it but afterwards I told myself it wasn’t the album’s mood so I put it towards the end, but it’s a very emotional and important song. The theme is important, it’s not only about relationships. The hook is like “can’t believe I let you in my room” and it starts with “I used to give a fuck” and it took me 200 times to record that line because I wanted it to be very emotional and powerful and I wasn’t singing it that way. So the first line took me some time.

Lolo Zouaï via Rolling Stone:

> This was probably the earliest song that I wrote for this album. Maybe it could have fit the first album in a way. It’s about being taken advantage of and wanting to plot revenge on somebody because they hurt you. The first line is ‘I used to give a fuck’ — but I gave a fuck a lot about that line. It took me probably 200 times to record that one line. I was like, ‘This is the intro to the song. I have to sound like I don’t give a fuck.’ But I gave a fuck! That one has a really powerful message. If you listen to it once, you might just think it’s about a breakup or something. But it’s definitely about more, and I think it’s important to have different themes and music and not just be about love. It’s important to talk about the darker things.

The song is the fourth and last track of the character PARTYGIRL.

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I used to give a fuck but I don't right now

You had my trust 'til you broke me down

Pulling on my arms, had me feeling woozy

I bet you felt a rush, no

[Pre-Chorus]

I was lying in the bed that night, (The bed that night) that night

The walls were silent

You were holding on my body for life (Holding on my body for)

Can't believe I let you in my room

[Chorus]

In my room

In my-, in my-, room

In my room (Room)

Can't believe I let you in my room

In my room

In my-, in my-, room

In my room (Room)

Can't believe I let you in my

[Post-Chorus]

Room

[Verse 2]

Ooh, crushed a flower in your hand

Come see me

After hours do my dance

[Pre-Chorus]

I got you lying in the coldest light

The walls are silent

No one can save your soul tonight

Can't believe I let you in my

[Chorus]

In my room

In my-, in my-, room

In my room (Room)

Can't believe I let you in my room

In my room

In my-, in my-, room

In my room (Room)

In my—

[Bridge]

Make ‘em shut the door on you when they see your face

You can't hide the scars when you’re the one to blame

And I'm not sorry that I can't let nobody touch me ‘til you’re gone

‘til you’re gone

[Outro]

Watch me do something i might regret, regret

I’ll never let you in my

In my room

In my roo-oo-oo-oo-oom

Ruin your life so you can’t forget

(In my room)

Forget that I let you in my
