"C'mon Let Me Ride" is a song by American recording artist and singer-songwriter Skylar Grey, released December 11, 2012 from her second studio album Don't Look Down (2013). The song, produced by frequent collaborator and longtime producer Alex da Kid and Mike Del Rio, features a guest appearance from American hip hop recording artist Eminem, who also mixed the record.[1][2] The song was released to Contemporary Hit Radio in January 2013.[3]
It samples the chorus of the 1978 hit song Bicycle Race by british rock group Queen.[4]
Music video
A music video was shot for the track in October in Detroit and released on December 11, 2012 on VEVO and MTV. Skylar Grey stated that she's poking fun at widespread and excessive sexualization and she also told MTV, "The video is a combined effort between director Isaac Rentz, me and Eminem, and we just wanted to make sure it was very clear that it's a sarcastic song."
| “ | There's one scene in the music video where I'm dressed up in this Red swimming suit with a pink, pink nails, a pink bicycle with an ice-cream cone on the back of it and it's totally girly — and not me at all. I think that's clear, because that scene happens over the bridge of the song, where I say, 'I'm only f--king with you, and f--k you for thinking it's true,' and that's when I have the pink polka-dot thing on, so it's saying, "This isn't really me".' | ” |
