Song Meaning

Kelly Clarkson once sang about everyone having a dark side. Las Vegas rockers Imagine Dragons are doing the same, but in a different, guitar-driven way, with their song 'Demons.'

Drowning one's sorrows over love is a popular method of self-medicating and eradicating pain. Try as he might, Justin Timberlake cannot soak his sorrows with libations in 'Drink You Away.' Here's our read of the smooth, retro and soulful track.

Jamie Lynn Spears, the little sister of Britney Spears, has issued her debut country single, 'How Could I Want More.' It has all the fixings of a great country tune, thanks to the twang and the tale it tells. We've looked more deeply into the meaning of its lyrics...

Katy Perry's 'Dark Horse' is about being careful what you wish for since you just might get it. Be prepared for the consequence.

Words can sting like anything, but silence? Silence breaks the heart. 'Say Something,' A Great Big World's achingly beautiful duet with Christina Aguilera, captures the end of a relationship, when it's far too late for words.

There's no time like the present. That's the deeper message behind Demi Lovato's 'Neon Lights.' This is our breakdown of the meaning of the song.

What goes up must come down. It's the simple law of gravity. Pitbull and Kesha's banger 'Timber' doesn't require too much introspection – it's a dance song for god's sake — but there is a clever use of metaphor and double meaning.

Lady Gaga's foray into R&B with R. Kelly is in a song loaded with double meaning, one that we're breaking down right here and right now.

One Direction's 'Story of My Life' is their most mature song to date.

We're here to break down the song and its deeper meaning.

Drake's dreamy, butter smooth R&B track 'Hold On, We're Going Home' is certainly a sexy, sultry love song. We'd be lying if we said it didn't make us think it was about his ex Rihanna. Ironically, the song boasts croony parts that like something that her ex Chris Brown might sing.
