1. LUKAS OSCAR, โSo Romantic U + Iโ
โSo Romantic U + Iโ // LUKAS OSCAR // 2025
โYou show up unannounced at night / That creepy hour between 3 and 5.โ So, LUKAS OSCAR (Lukas Oscar Janisch), this nameless person arrives at an unholy hour? Hmm, I have so many questions. ย There seems to be an โintimate encounterโ in โSo Romantic U + Iโ. Oscar continues singing in the brief, sub-two-minute song, โThen you blind the room in sequins / Plastic pupils in your plastic eyes.โ Intriguing, thought-provoking lyrics. Sequins are obnoxiously bright and eye-catching.ย Are they so bright that they have created googly eyes (plastic pupils and plastic eyes)? The Gen-Z Filipino Austrian musician penned and produced this romantic indie pop joint.
โAnd itโs so romantic you and I
And that one guy thatโs watching from outside
Weโre one big family
One homeโฆโ
Again, the lyrics are thought-provoking. Later, OSCAR requests, โCut the lights,โ adding some odd, open-to-interpretation lyrics: โMh mh cut the l1ghts c0ldled fe1n r1gh / G0t the l1ghts fu0 me c1t1 r1ght.โ Say what, now?! It sounds sexualโฆ Supporting this intimate experience with this nameless person is a great production. It features an awesome groove โ a dusty, soulful hip-hop beat. Besides the beat, superb music cues include low-key synths and pads.ย Also, โlow-keyโ is Oscarโs vocals.ย They sound chill and laid-back.ย He is expressive yet manages to sound both indulgent and nonchalant simultaneously.ย The melodies are tuneful even when Lukas drops the less decipherable lyrics. โSo Romantic U + Iโ feels sexy without being explicit or overt.

2. Selena Gomez & Benny Blanco, โYou Said You Were Sorryโ
I Said I Love You First // SMG Music LLC / Friends Keep Secrets / Interscope // 2025
โType of love that can make a bitch crazy / He fills me up, yeah, he never gets lazy / I wouldnโt leave him even if you paid me.โ Ooh-wee! Damn, Selena Gomez! Gomez has โmad loveโ for her fiancรฉ, Benny Blanco. โYou Said You Were Sorryโ is the 11th track from their 3035 collaborative album, I Said I Love You First. Of her โnew flameโ (Benny), Gomez asserts, โNew flame, he could melt a damn diamond / Spell my name, see the back of my eyelids / Oh, this is love.โ Oh, snap ๐ซฐ! So, with the focus being on her happy new relationship, where does the sorry come into play? In a dream, based on what Gomez believes should or should have happened after her past relationship.ย In the chorus, she sings, โBut I had a dream / You said you were sorry, said you were sorry / Sorry for everything / That you put on me, that you put on me.โ In this dream, which isnโt the reality of the situation, there was a resolution including forgiveness.ย Gomez and Blanco wrote โYou Said You Were Sorryโ with Kiddo A.I., Justin Tranter, John Byron, and Cashmere Cat. Blanco and Cashmere Cat produced it.ย A pleasant pop record, Gomez sings well, and the songwriting and production are respectable. ย A solid Y-O-U song.

3. Gnash, โi hate u, i love uโ (Ft. Olivia OโBrien)
Gnash // Us // :): // 2016
โDo you miss me like I miss you? / Fucked around and got attached to you.โ Oh, snap, gnash (Garrett Nash).ย He continues singing in his 2016, love/hate-driven hit single, โI hate u, i love uโ, โFriends can break your heart too, and / Iโm always tired but never of you.โย โI hate uโ was the crowning achievement of the singer/songwriter/producerโs EP, Us.ย Notably, then-rising teen-pop artist, Olivia OโBrien collaborated with him.ย The song peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is Gnashโs highest-charting song as the lead artist and his only top 40 hit credited as the lead artist.
The approach of โI hate u, I love uโ is as โoxymoronicโ as its title. Before gnash drops his cool, calm, and collected, if profane lyrics, Olivia OโBrien draws first blood.ย โFeeling used, but Iโm / Still missing you and I canโt / See the end of this / Just wanna feel your kiss against my lips,โ she sings in the dramatic, emotional first verse.ย She follows up with the unforgettable chorus: โI hate you, I love you / I hate that I love you / Donโt want to, but I canโt put / Nobody else above youโฆโ Gnash, then, takes the reins, where he utters the shit at the end of four consecutive lines โ only after he โfucked around and got attached to you,โ of course.
โIf I pulled a you on you, you wouldn’t like that shit
I put this reel out, but you wouldn’t bite that shit
I type a text, but then I never mind that shit
I got these feelings, but you never mind that shit.โ
What more can you say but, โoh, shit!โ Gnash also delivers a third verse, continuing to be affected by this love-hate. โYou ever wonder what we could have been? / You said you wouldnโt and you fucking did / Lie to me, lie to me, get your fucking fixโฆโ Word.ย Gnash never struck gold after the late 2010s, but the memorable โI hate u, i love uโ remains a gem from the decade. No hate here!

4. Alex Warren, โCarry You Homeโ
Youโll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1) // Atlantic Recording Corporation // 2024
โOh, I hope you know, I will carry you home / Whether itโs tonight or fifty-five years down the road.โ What is that sound that I hear, Alex Warren? Why, itโs wedding bells ๐ ๐! โCarry You Homeโ is giving off those โsealing the deal foreverโ vibes. The dedication is sublime, like โLove, lift us up where we belongโ! Alex, you may now kiss the bride! โCarry You Homeโ is the fourth track from his 2024 album, Youโll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1). He penned โCarryโ alongside Cal Shapiro, Mags Duval, and producer Adam Yaron.
Beyond the chorus excerpted above, Warren sees a bright and fruitful future.ย โI know none of them [dreams] have stuck yet,โ he sings in the first verse, โBut I bet it on you, honey / Oh, I would risk it all.โ ย In the second verse, despite being homeless, him and her โkept each other warm under a ceiling full of stars.โ Aww ๐ฅฐ! Despite adversity, they made it through thick and thin. Through the good and bad times, Alex has made his choice, and he wonโt change his mind: โI choose us every time.โ That is a great choice, buddy! Warren sings this driving, folk-pop record beautifully. He never gets โtoo highโ in the verses but ups the ante in the pre-chorus and the crรจme de la crรจme, the chorus. The authenticity, sincerity, and thoughtfulness of โCarry You Homeโ are awe-inspiring. Alex, YOU are a surefire winner.

5. Prince, โJack U Offโ
Controversy // Warner // 1981
โIf youโre looking for somewhere to goย / Thought Iโd take you to a movie showย / Sitting in the back and Iโll jack you off.โย ย Oh, snap ๐ณ! Prince (1958 โ 2016) was the exemplification of a provocative musician, particularly in the 1980s.ย โJack U Offโ is a prime example of him playing provocateur (emphasis on play ๐). The Purple One suggests heโs going to โjack offโ a woman, which is an unusual way to phrase a male-to-female masturbatory act. The only other explanation is questioning if Prince was referencing somebody other than a cis woman… โJack U Offโ is the eighth and final track from his 1981 album, Controversy. ย
On โJack U Off,โ there is no gray area. It is a blunt title referencing a specific sex act. While his bassist, Mark Brown, suggested that Prince didnโt understand the terminology, that seems unfathomable for an artist who excelled at sex songs. โCome on over to my neighborhoodย / We can jump in the sack, and Iโll jack you off,โ Prince asserts in the first verse, continuing, โIf youโre tired of the masturbatorย / Little girl, we can go on a dateย / And if you like, Iโll jack you off.โย One of the interesting incidents involving this controversial song is when Prince opened for The Rolling Stones in 1981.ย As bassist Brown asserts in a Music Radar interview, The Rolling Stonesโ audience was not Princeโs audience.ย The performance didnโt go well. Prince was infamously booed, called homophobic slurs, and ill-received.ย Why? Princeโs androgynous appearance and fashion, and this risquรฉ, rockabilly-sounding number that only drew more ire from an audience that wasnโt hip to him. Admit it, a song where you assert, โIโll jack you offโ repeatedly is a tall task, particularly for what would have been an entirely different fan base.ย โJack U Offโ embraces controversy in an incredibly funky fashion.ย Princeโs voice sounds amazing, as always, while the musical accompaniment is high-energy and utterly infectious.ย Jacking U Off never sounded soโฆ never mind!

6. Noah Kahan, โYouโre Gonna Go Farโ
Stick Season (Weโll All Be Here Forever) // Mercury / Republic // 2023
โThe only time I got to praying for a red light / Was when I saw your destination as a deadline.โ Those are brilliant opening lyrics, Noah Kahan. Is it surprising that the Grammy-nominated Vermont singer/songwriter put his foot into the lyrics of โYouโre Gonna Go Farโ? No, not at all. Kahan is quite talented, something that the 20th track from Stick Season (Weโll All Be Here Forever) easily shows. Another thought-provoking lyric comes from the second verse: โThe college kids are getting so young, ainโt they? Theyโre correcting all the grammar on our spray paint.โ Kahan penned โYouโre Gonna Go Far.โ He produced the gorgeous folk-pop cut with Gabe Simon.
โYouโre Gonna Go Farโ begins with acoustic guitar accompaniment. Light at first, the production gradually grows fuller with more instrumentation. By the third verse (โIt wonโt be by your own volition / If you step outside this townโ), the song is more dynamic musically. Kahan delivers clear, commanding, and pure vocals. His songwriting is honest, memorable, and transparent. A prime example: โAnd, while I clean shit up in the yard / Ooh-ooh, youโll be far / Ooo-ooh, youโll be far, far from here.โ Throughout, the person Kahan sings about is leaving their hometown, with the titular lyric doubling as going far in distance and success. The section to beat is the chorus:
โSo, pack up your care, put a hand on your heart
Say whatever you feel, be wherever you are
We ainโt angry at you, love
Youโre the greatest thing weโve lost
โฆWe ainโt angry at you, love
Weโll be waiting for you, love
And weโll all be here forever.โ
โYouโre Gonna Go Farโ is another winner from Noah Kahan, period. There is also a version with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Brandi Carlile.

7. Elton John, โCan You Feel the Love Tonightโ
The Lion King // The Walt Disney Company // 1994
โThereโs a calm surrender to the rush of day / When the heat of a rolling wind can be turned away.โย Those timeless, unforgettable lyrics hail from โCan You Feel the Love Tonightโ, one of the truly great songs from the 1990s.ย Elton John recorded a masterpiece, plain and simple. โCan You Feel the Love Tonightโ is the 12th and final track from The Lion King.ย The film version, penned alongside lyricist Tim Rice, appears as the fifth track. The more sophisticated end title runs a minute longer, featuring a slower, more relaxed tempo. Although the song is associated with The Lion King, one of Disneyโs greatest animated films, it is a marvelous, standalone song. โCanโ peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. It was certified platinum by the RIAA in 2018. Impressive. Beyond sales, streams, and chart success, John won his first Academy Award for Best Original Song (beating his other compositionsย โCircle Of Lifeโ and โHakuna Matataโ), and a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.
Everything about โCan You Feel the Love Tonightโ feels right.ย It features a gorgeous, adult contemporary sound. This sound was prevalent in the 1990s. The orchestration is top-notch.ย John delivers commanding, soulful vocals bringing Riceโs poetic, poignant lyrics to life. โThereโs a time for everyone, if they only learn,โ he sings in the second verse, adding, โThat the twistinโ kaleidoscope moves us all in turn.โ John didnโt compose the lyrics, but he penned the marvelous melodies and music. The musical underpinnings, specifically the harmonic progression, are part of the elite musicianship of โCan You Feel the Love Tonight.โ The moment to beat is the chorus, among the most memorable of all time.
โAnd can you feel the love tonight? (Tonight)
It is where we are
Itโs enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight? (Tonight)
How itโs laid to rest?
Itโs enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best.โ
โCan You Feel The Love Tonightโ is nothing short of iconic.ย Elton John has written many hits.ย This Disney collaboration with Tim Rice is one of his greatest.

8. Josie Cotton, โJohnny, Are You Queer?โ
Convertible Music // Kitten Robot // 1982ย
โAnd I saw you today, boy / Walking with them gay ๐ boys.โ Hmm, what is your point, Josie Cotton? How do you know that the boys are gay, and what is wrong with Johnny hanging out with them? Itโs giving homophobia, girl, depending on who you ask. โNow you hurt me so / Now I gotta know / Johnny, are you queer?โ Oh, boy! It should come as no surprise why โJohnny, Are You Queer?โ is controversial.ย The eyebrow-raising pop/ New Wave song appears on Cottonโs 1982 debut album, Convertible Music. Larson Paine and Robert Paine penned this sus classic. It was first recorded by the Go-Goโs [hear the live recording here], but Cotton was the first to release it. To provide even more context as to why Josie asks about Johnnyโs sexuality: โWhen the lights are low / You never hold me close.โ
Songs about sexuality lend themselves to controversy. Such songs can be more controversial when there is a lack or perceived lack of nuance.ย That is the problem with โJohnny, Are you Queer.โ Musically, this is a bop and a half! The driving instrumental โkicks ass and takes names.โ Cottonโs vocal performance is playful, and she brings plenty of attitude.ย But the lyrics are problematic.ย If Johnny is in a โcommittedโ relationship with Josie (or her character) and is not being open about his sexuality, he is wrong. However, the way that she judges him assumes his friends are gay and tries to force a romance that is a non-starter, that is nothing short of a hot mess.ย I mean, if he is gay, it is unlikely he will embrace a relationship with youโฆ Interestingly, gays and conservatives cried foul about this song. The gays thought she was homophobic. Conservatives thought she was promoting homosexuality. Go figure! Sadly, per RETROPOP, the song was used in conversion therapy. Yikes.ย Ultimately, while โJohnny, Are You Queerโ is problematic lyrically, it is a song that should be taken with a grain of salt. It gives a heaping dose of camp.

9. Omar Apollo, โDone With Youโ
God Said No // Omar Apollo / Warner // 2024ย
โIโm so done with you, done with you, done with you, done with you, done.โ Iโd venture to say that Grammy-nominated pop singer/songwriter Omar Apollo (Omar Velasco) is D-O-N-E โ
with him. โDone With Youโ is the fourth track from his 2024 sophomore album, God Said No. โSometimes, love donโt make it right,โ he sings in the pre-chorus. True. During the first verse, Omar reminisces.ย He recollects moments such as talking and missing him when heโs gone. In the second verse, there is clinging to the past: โWonโt you please just let me go? / Iโd be better off alone / Iโm still wearing all your clothes / Let me go, let me go.โ Of course, in the chorus, he swears off him โ
, whether that is true or not. Throughout โDone,โ Omar blesses us with his soulful, expressive, and nuanced vocals.ย His runs are fabulous. He sings over a groovy, R&B backdrop โ think neo-soul/contemporary soul. The melodies are beautiful. Velasco wrote and produced โDone With Youโ with Blake Slatkin, Carter Lang, Teo Halm, Dylan Wiggins, and Scott Bridgeway. One of the best moments adds to the lighthearted nature of the track.ย In the second pre-chorus, we get the fun lyric, โBro, you got better bitches, like.โ Word.

10. Lloyd, โYouโ (Ft. Lil Wayne)
Street Love // Universal Motown Records // 2007ย
โCan I be for real? / This is how I feel / Iโm in need of love / So, letโs dip up out of here.โ Lloyd โ what a handsome and talented man! He had a successful run in the 2000s, led by his hit, โYouโ. โYouโ is the second track from his platinum-certified 2007 album, Street Love. โYou,โ which features Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne, peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple platinum by the RIAA. Jasper Cameron and Big Reese produced โYou,โ which exemplifies the sleek, contemporary R&B sound of the late 00s. It also gets help from some samples: โTrueโ by Spandau Ballet, โSong Cryโ by Jay-Z, and โSoldierโ by Destinyโs Child.
โYouโ is attributed to Lloyd as the lead artist but featured artist Lil Wayne talks his shit from the get-go.ย In the intro, Weezy asserts, โWeezy F. Baby /โฆ And uh, I want all my sexy ladies to report to the dance floor.โ Following the intro that gasses us up, Weezy continues โdo the damn thingโ in the first verse, asserting, โRight off the bat ma, the boy got dollars / So women come frequent like flight mileage.โ Ooh-wee! Lloyd โbrings the heatโ beginning in the second verse. Honest, he admits, โGirl, please / Iโm a player, yeah, itโs true / But I can change the game for you / I wanna see what it do.โ In the pre-chorus, excerpted earlier, he encourages her to go with him. In the chorus, he proclaims, โSheโs fine too [the other woman] / But I want you.โ That, my friends, is where you of โYouโ comes into the picture.ย Lloyd delivers a third verse, while Weezy F. Baby returns for the fourth and final verse (โYou know I love you liked cooked food / You know you fucking with a good dudeโ). The memorable โYouโ is the biggest song of Lloydโs career โ the one that elevated him to higher heights. Since then, and his Street Love days, he hasnโt achieved the same success.

11. Linda Ronstadt, โYouโre No Goodโ
Heart Like A Wheel // Capitolย // 1974
โYouโre no good, youโre no good, youโre no good / Baby, youโre no good.โ Iโd venture to say that on โYouโre No Goodโ, Grammy-winning, critically acclaimed singer Linda Ronstadt believes that heโs no good.ย In the Clint Ballard Jr.-penned cut, Ronstadt makes this cover her own. ย Originally recorded by Dee Dee Warwick (1942 โ 2008) in 1963, Betty Everette (1939 โ 2001) scored a moderate pop hit with it the same year (number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100).ย The Ronstadt version arrived 11 years later as the opening track on her 1974, double platinum album, Heart Like A Wheel.ย โYouโre No Goodโ earned Linda her sole number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100.ย While โYouโre No Goodโ was specifically nominated for a Grammy, the album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female and Album Of The Year at the 18th Annual GRAMMY Awards.
ย
So, what makes โYouโre No Goodโ โreally, really good?โ First and foremost, it is Linda Ronstadt.ย She brings it with her expressive, nuanced lead vocals.ย From beginning to end, her performance is spirited to the nth degree.ย Beyond her lead, the background vocals up the ante.ย Musically, sheโs accompanied by an awesome backdrop including electric piano, guitar, and a fabulous groove carried by the drums.ย The verses are memorable, including lyrics like โI learned my lesson, it left a scar / Now I see how you really are” (verse one) and โI broke a heart thatโs gentle and true / Well, I broke a heart over someone like youโ (verse two).ย Oh, snap! The section to beat, however, is the chorus โ heโs no good!ย โYouโre No Goodโ is a pop song for the ages. Linda Ronstadt did that!

12. Lenny Williams, โโCause I Love Youโ
Spark Of Love // UMG Recordings, Inc. // 1978
โGirl, you know I, I, I, I love you / No matter what you do / And I hope you understand me / Every word / I say is true / โCause I Love You.โ One of the most heartfelt and dramatic songs from the soul catalog comes courtesy of Lenny Williams (1945 โ ).ย โโCause I Love Youโ is the fifth track from his 1978 album, Spark Of Love. Williams penned โโCause I Love Youโ with Michael Bennett. Set in a lilting compound duple meter, โโCause I Love Youโ is a lengthy number that runs north of seven minutes. It is worth every second of its duration.
โโCause I Love Youโ is EVERYTHING! The record thrives off lush, soulful production and sublime orchestration. The strings are particularly gorgeous.ย Lenny Williams delivers expressive and nuanced vocals that ooze with soul.ย He shows his velvety middle register, as well as a stellar falsetto.ย The personality and drama that Williams brings to this performance sounds authentic and utterly sincere: โSome men needs lots of women / For their passions to fill / But I / Want only you, girl /โฆ If itโs in /Godโs will.โ Much like Williamsโ vocals, the musical accompaniment has its fair share of dramatic moments. Williams gets support from background vocals. There is a spoken word section where Lenny continues to be vulnerable regarding love.
โBut I found myself waking up a few hours later
And the tears were running down my face And my friend told me
He said, โLenny, you just oughta forget about her.โ
But I told my friend, I said
โYou know, maybe youโve never been in love like Iโve been in love
And maybe you’ve never felt the things that Iโve felt.โโ
At around the 4:45 mark, Williams begins picking up the singing, continuing his heartfelt, dramatic performance, supported by background vocals and silky smooth musical accompaniment. Matters of the heart drive this extraordinary ballad. The excellence of โโCause I Love Youโ speaks for itself. Williamsโ gem is a popular source for sampling.

13. Shirley Caesar, โHeโs Working It Out For Youโ
Heโs Working It Out For You // Word Entertainment LLC // 1991ย
โThough the pressures of life seems to weigh you down / And you donโt know which way to turn,โ Shirley Caesar (1938 โ ) sings, โGod is concerned and Heโs working it out for you.โ Amen! Now that is a good word, pastor!ย The legendary gospel musician provides surefire encouragement on โHeโs Working It Out For Youโ, the opener from her 1991 album, Heโs Working It Out For You. Initially, Caesar is accompanied by piano. Backed by a fabulous gospel harmonic progression, she embraces faith despite adversity. Her vocals are authentic, soulful, and spirited.ย Every word the pastor sings, you buy.
In the second verse, accompanied by fuller instrumentation (piano, organ, bass, drums, etc.), Caesar sings, โNow you ask yourself, is there a word from the Lord / You need a blessing, and you need it right away / God is concerned, and Heโs working it out for you.โ In the third, her voice grows even more spirited, setting the tone for Godโs wonder-working power. Despite no peace at home or work, bills, and failing health, the message remains the same: Godโs working it out. The choir enters the mix before the three-minute mark, amplifying the spirit in the chorus:
โHeโs working it out
Heโs working it out for you
God cares
Iโm so glad to know He cares
Iโm so glad to know He cares
And Heโs working it out for you.โ
Meanwhile, Caesar ad-libs, riffing at her finest.ย โHeโs Working It Out For Youโ hails from the 1990s, yet the message endures on this moving gospel gem.
