About Ridin' Solo

"Ridin' Solo" is the third single from Jason Derulo's self-titled debut album, produced by J. R. Rotem.

On May 16, 2010, "Ridin' Solo" became Derulo's third consecutive top three hit on the UK Singles Chart. It is his third consecutive number-one hit on the UK R&B Chart and third consecutive top ten hit on the US Billboard Hot 100.
