"Moi" is the second track on Lolo Zouaï's debut album, High Highs to Low Lows.
Background
In Lolo Zouaï 's interview with Clash Music, she talked about the inspiration behind the song
When I was 19 I moved from San Francisco to Paris alone to see what my life would have been like if I grew up in France. I ended up leaving after eight months because I was lost and it didn’t feel like home to me. This song always brings me back to that time.

On my own, on my own
Since I left San Francisco, oh (Yeah, yeah)

[Verse 2]
Nascar jacket and a short skirt
He fell in love and he got hurt
I'm leavin' tonight
He's not on my mind
I ride solo
Three passport photos
Don't hold on
Burn rubber, I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Hit 'em with the bilingual
Je sais que je m'en vais
You won't see me again
Je ne suis pas
Moi—je ne suis

Oh, mon amour
You know you're not the one
Who can make me stay, oh no, no
This isn't my home, oh no, no
My heart is on the road
[Outro]
