"Picking Berries" is Lolo Zouaï's eighth track from Lolo Zouaï's sophomore album, PLAYGIRL.
Background[]
The song is the third track of the character DREAMGIRL.
French Version[]
The French version of “Picking Berries” was first teased on October 17, 2022, on an Instagram live. Lolo said that she was looking for an artist to collaborate with on the French version of the song. This version was once again teased on Lolo’s TikTok on January 28, 2023, with a snippet of the French pre-chorus. It was then assumed to be on a deluxe version of the PLAYGIRL album which was later debunked on the VIPLAYGIRL Q&A session as the PLAYGIRL album will not have a deluxe version. Eventually on June 21, 2023, Lolo announced on Twitter that the song would probably never see a release, sharing the French version of the first verse.
Lyrics[]
[Intro]
Le PGV numéro 3004 à destination de Marseille entre en gare
[Chorus]
I'm in the South of France
No makeup on
I want it all, romance
There's nothing wrong
With sipping wine, fromage, et saucisson
I'm picking berries
Picking berries
[Verse 1]
Had to take a plane away from you
(And I don't want you to call me)
In the lavender fields, bathed in blue
(And I want someone to hold me)
[Pre-Chorus]
Grass on my knees, it's the season (It's the season)
Rolling around, feel me breathin' (Feel me breathin')
Laughing out loud for no reason (For no reason)
There's nothing that I can't do (Ooh)
[Chorus]
I'm in the South of France
No makeup on
I want it all, romance
There's nothing wrong
With sipping wine, fromage, et saucisson
I'm picking berries
Picking berries (One by one)
[Verse 2]
When I'm on my own
I could never do wrong to you
Can't spend my twenties with somebody
I don't see until the end
(cotton candy)
Cotton candy arms reaching out like they want me too
I feel so money, licking honey
And it’s dripping off my hands
[Pre-Chorus]
Grass on my knees, it's the season (It's the season)
Rolling around, feel me breathin' (Feel me breathin')
Laughing out loud for no reason (For no reason)
There's nothing that I can't do when
[Chorus]
When I’m in the south of France
No makeup on
I want it all, romance
There's nothing wrong
With sipping wine, fromage, et saucisson
I’m picking berries
Picking berries
One by one
[Post-Chorus]
(Tu veux gouter?)
One by one I gotta have a taste
Too much fun to put you on my plate
(C’est bon hein?)
One by one so quick to be replaced
Oo I’m picking berries
Picking berries
[Bridge]
And if you believe that you’ll see me again
Pinch your skin 'cause you’re dreaming
I came here alone when I go
I’m leaving by myself
[Chorus]
I'm in the South of France
No makeup on
I don't need her or him or anyone
I'm sipping wine, fromage et saucisson
I'm picking berries
Picking berries (Ah)
[Post-Chorus]
I’m picking one by one
I gotta have a taste
(I gotta have it)
I’m having too much fun to put you on my plate
(reach out and grab it)
One by one so quick to be replaced
I'm picking berries
Picking berries
