Ride ft. Astrid Ripepi Lyrics

Your love feels like a turbo
Even when we’re moving slow
You take me back to first gear
When you know that I need you here

Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s make this love last
Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s not flip off the track

I will never say goodbye
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I’ll love you ‘til the day I die
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
And I will never make you cry
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I will never say goodbye
Take me for a ride

Don’t worry ‘bout the finish line,
I know we’ll make it in good time
Oh boy, you make my heart race
You know you taking first place

Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s make this love last
Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s not flip off the track

I will never say goodbye
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I’ll love you ‘til the day I die
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
And I will never make you cry
take me for a ride, take me for a ride
I will never say goodbye
Take me for a ride

Even if we’re moving side ways
Take me now, take, take me now
Reversing through the days
Take me now, take, take me now

Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s make this love last
Don’t look back, we’re moving too fast
Let’s not flip off the track

I will never say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye yeah
(take me for a ride, take me for a ride)
Can you take me for a ride?
(take me for a ride)

Take me for a ride,
Take me for a ride.

Philip La Rosa’s Ride is a captivating and emotionally charged duet that explores the complexities of love, trust, and the journey of navigating relationships. With an intoxicating blend of smooth melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and a dynamic vocal interplay between La Rosa and Astrid Ripepi, the song captures the highs and lows of emotional connection—where love isn’t just a destination but an ever-evolving experience.

At its core, Ride is about surrendering to the unpredictability of love. The lyrics weave a story of two people grappling with vulnerability, learning to trust each other through life’s twists and turns. There’s an undeniable chemistry between La Rosa and Ripepi, their voices complementing each other effortlessly as they trade verses and harmonise in the chorus. The song doesn’t shy away from the challenges of relationships; instead, it embraces them, acknowledging that real love requires risk, patience, and the willingness to ride through the storms together.

La Rosa’s vocals are smooth and evocative, carrying an earnest sincerity that makes the emotions feel tangible. Ripepi, on the other hand, brings a delicate yet powerful energy to the track, her voice intertwining with La Rosa’s in a way that feels effortless and natural. Their duet creates a sense of intimacy, as if the listener is eavesdropping on a deeply personal conversation between two people who are laying their emotions bare.

The song’s journey began in Sydney, where the initial concept and production were developed, before being brought to completion in Perth. Taka Perry, the visionary producer behind the track, played a pivotal role in shaping its sound. His production is both sleek and immersive, blending modern pop and R&B influences with subtle electronic flourishes that enhance the song’s emotional depth. The production allows the vocals to shine while maintaining a rich, atmospheric soundscape that keeps the listener engaged from start to finish.

What makes Ride even more special is how it came together—Perry travelled to Perth to record the final vocals with La Rosa and Astrid Ripepi, bringing a hands-on approach to the song’s completion. This in-person collaboration added an extra layer of authenticity, allowing the artists to fine-tune their performances and ensure that every lyric, every note, carried the intended emotion. The result is a track that feels organic and deeply connected, a true testament to the power of collaboration and shared artistry.

Ride is a song that lingers, a reminder that love isn’t always smooth sailing but is worth holding on to. With stunning vocal performances, lush production, and a heartfelt message, La Rosa and Ripepi have created a track that resonates long after the final note fades—a song that invites listeners to embrace the journey, no matter how uncertain the road ahead may be.
