Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Sebelumnya ia hanya dikenal sebagai pemilik vokal yang kerap menyediakan suara untuk bagian menyanyi di lagu rap, tapi kini ia sudah siap untuk meluncurkan karir solonya. Dengan bantuan Eminem, Skylar Grey menyongsong perilisan album "Don't Look Down" yang tampaknya membutuhkan waktu yang sedemikian lama untuk diluncurkan. Pemanasannya tentu lewat single yang dirilis menjelang akhir tahun 2012, 'C'mon Let Me Ride'. Single ini adalah hasil karya Skylar, Eminem, dan Alex Da Kid. Bukan kali pertama ketiganya meramu sebuah karya. Tim ini dulunya hadir untuk hit 'Love The Way You Lie'.
Sebagai seseorang yang menyanyi di track rap artis lain, selayaknya ia menjadikan lagu untuk dirinya sebagai sebuah lagu yang menonjolkan vokal. Tapi kali ini tidak. Ia justru hadir sedikit nyeleneh membawakan lagu yang fun dan playful dengan lirik nakal dan berani. Ditambah pula selipan hook dari lagu milik Queen, 'Bicylce Race', jadi bertambah nilai playful-nya.
Eminem mengeset Sylar sebagai versi cewek Eminem. Ini tampak sangat jelas dengan kegamblangan gagasan lirik dan juga tampilan video untuk 'C'mon Let Me Ride'. Narsis adalah ciri Eminem. Ia menularkannya pada Skylar. Lihat betapa getolnya Skylar memuja diri sendiri: "If the world starts freezing, I can make it hot and humid/If you got a bee-sting, I can suck out all the poison/I can make you last like all the b*tches can't/Have I made it clear, boy?"
Ini juga ditunjang dengan video layaknya parodi yang membuat kita berfikir kalau Skylar berkampanye anti dumb blonde. Dan mungkin dengan sedikit keberuntungan, Skylar akan mempopulerkan 'C'mon Let Me Ride' menjadi bahasa lain untuk mengajak bercinta.

LYRIC
And the wheels go round and round and round...
If you got a sweet tooth,
You can taste my watermelons
If the swing set bores you
I can show you all my talents
I can wear a tan like other bitches can't
You can have all this, boy!
And there's only one thing that I want from you
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical on your bicycle
We can get a little more physical
Baby, after all, it's only natural
I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh
I feel it running, running, running, oh
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical on your bicycle
You want to ride my bicycle
You want to ride my bike
If the world starts freezing, I can make it hot and humid
If you get a bee-sting, I can suck out all the poison
I can make you last like all the bitches can't
Have I made it clear, boy?
There's only one thing that I want from you, hey!
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical on your bicycle
We can get a little more physical
Baby, after all, it's only natural
I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh
I feel it running, running, running, oh
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical, on your bicycle
I'm only fucking with you
Fuck you for thinking it's true
I'm not like the sluts in this town
They make me blehh in my mouth
I wanna ride on your bike
'Cause you're the boy that I like
It's like I'm a sell out for you
But your bike's so shiny and new, shiny and new
She's distracted by my reflectors, man, I can tell the chick's attracted
My wheels spoke to her, my Schwinn is a chick magnet
Bagging up chicks like a bag of chips
With a bag of prophylactics as big as Mick Jagger lips
Shagging's something I'm a pro at, but I ain't practicing shit
Allen Iverson has safe sex, condoms are for practice, man, I skip practice
Flip backwards while I flip this bike on its banana seat
My fantasy's to have you land where the kick stand is
Got this bitch gagging, they call me the broad killer
I'm the cousin of Godzilla
'Cause I spit fire and my dick is draggin'
Zig-zaggin' up the avenue, pulling these chicks in my antagonist wagon,
Screamin'...
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical on your bicycle
We can get a little more physical
Baby, after all, it's only natural
I feel it coming, coming, coming, oh
I feel it running, running, running, oh
Come on, let me ride your bicycle
It's so fantastical on your bicycle
You want to ride my bicycle
You want to ride my bike
