Song Meaning

Lambert dedicated the video, the first he's produced, to his fans: 'Take pride in your queerness!'

The song's most overtly sexual lyric, "Hit me baby one more time" isn't about sex at all.

'The way Gaga sang the first verse of the song, it captured that loneliness so perfectly,' a producer notes.

It's been way too long since Kelly Clarkson released a single, but fans don't need to worry. 'Heartbeat Song' is here and it is totally worth the wait!

Admit it -- when you listen to One Direction's 'Steal My Girl,' you sort of wish it was about you. Well, one of the track's songwriters, Julian Bunetta, revealed that it is ... kinda!

Ed Sheeran's songs about love are always so incredibly swoon-worthy. No wonder the English ginger kid has amassed such a dedicated and largely female following. He isn't afraid to unzip his chest and let the contents of his heart spill out onto the page and in the studio booth. But what about when he speeds up the tempo, raps and muses about a sexy rendezvous, like he does on 'Sing'?

Lady Gaga's cleverly titled 'G.U.Y.' plays with words, meanings and double entendre in the lyrics. With 'G.U.Y.' being an acronym for 'Girl Under You,' she is also experimenting with the idea of gender-defined behaviors, role reversals and sexual politics in a relationship. So much subtext in one insanely catchy pop song!

John Legend's hit piano ballad 'All of Me' is one of the most romantic love songs ever.

Jason Derulo is enjoying one of his biggest hits yet with the sax-infused 'Talk Dirty.' It's not a super deep song lyrically, but it does employ an extended metaphor that equates travel with a booty call and sex.

If more people listened (and we mean really listened to) the lyrics of Pharrell Williams' chart-topping, Oscar-nominated 'Happy,' they might find their moods elevated.
