You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movie selling popular corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Uh huh
Uh huh I said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
But you were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
Popular,
I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular,
I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
Always was on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
You'd hit during classes and in between them
Dunk me in the toilets now it's you that cleans em'
You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Ooh, the joke's on you
Got everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping, asking
How come you look so cool?
'Cause that's the only thing that I learnt at school, boy
Uh huh
I said that's the only thing I learnt at school
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
And you were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
'Cause my song is popular
Popular
I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular
I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
So catch up, 'cause you got an awful long way to go
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were (that's all you ever need to know)
Popular
I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular
I know about popular

The song "Popular Song" by Ariana Grande (feat. Mika) addresses issues of popularity and bullying from the perspective of someone who was once bullied and is now successful. The lyrics begin with the singer reflecting on how the person who bullied her is no longer popular, while she has gained some measure of popularity. She then goes on to describe the bullying she experienced, including being dunked in the toilet and made fun of. Despite this, she has managed to overcome her problems, turning her experience into a popular song.
The chorus emphasizes the idea that popularity is not about who you are or what you have, but rather about being true to yourself. The singer encourages her listeners to "catch up" and find their way, but reminds them that they should not try to be someone they are not. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the repetition of the phrase "all you ever need to know" serving as a reminder that being oneself is the key to success.
Overall, the song is a message of hope and inspiration for those who have experienced bullying or struggled with popularity, offering a reminder that true success comes from being true to oneself.

@@primrazonable6161 Rich and famous:
From child star to world wide pop-star. From catholic to satanism. From just a singer to a sell out. From amongst the living to amongst the dead.
There is 1 interesting thing which is always missing; nones never CHRISTIAN.
They are religious, who move from 1 religion to another, but nobody comes out from lies(darkness) and into the truth(light).
The road they always on:
From catholic to satanism
From Jehovah witness to satanism
From Islam to satanism
From Hindu to satanism
From atheism to satanism
From ignorant to satanism
