Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Rollerblades. By Songfacts®.

This breezy, jaunty tune is a track from London-based Eliza Doolittle's debut album. The pop/folk singer-songwriter explained in press materials that the song is "about quitting worrying, getting up off your butt and getting on your rollerblades 'and rolling on.'"

Doolittle used a child's toy drum kit for this song's percussion.

This is one of two tracks co-written and produced by the influential late producer Jonny Dollar, the architect of Massive Attack's Blue Lines, the album that launched the trip-hop sound. Doolittle's debut set was one of the last projects Dollar worked on, before he died of cancer at the tragically early age of 45.
