Eleven Kidz Bop albums have been released to date. Each album features different pop music songs, played with music similar to the original, and with the "Kidz Bop Kids" singing instead of the original artist. Albums are typically released within a few months of each other and thus the songs included tend to be the hit songs of the current time, including such songs such as "Float On" (Modest Mouse), "This Love" (Maroon 5), and "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" (Green Day).

Although the albums are marketed as being "sanitized" versions of popular songs for children, many of the songs featured on the Kidz Bop albums still contain explicit sexual material, such as Rob Thomas's "Lonely No More," which some people consider inappropriate for younger audiences. Other featured songs, such as "Boulevard of Broken Dreams", contain profanity. Although the albums censor the actual word from the song, the context of the profanity remains. They also covered Green Day's hit "Wake Me Up When September Ends", which is about death.

The Kidz Bop video for their cover of Avril Lavigne's "Sk8r Boi", for instance, features the song being sung by a pre-teen girl in heavy make-up, fishnet stockings, and a Sex Pistols t-shirt.

Apologize
Kidz Bop Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say
But I just can't make your sound

You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry

Didn't think I'd turn around and say

That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I'd take another chance
Take a fall, take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah

I loved you with the fire red
Now it's turning blue, when you say
Sorry like the angel
Heaven let me think was you, but I'm afraid

That it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

It's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late
I said it's too late to apologize
It's too late

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Apologize" by OneRepublic, as performed by the KIDZ BOP Kids, is a lament about a relationship that has ended due to hurtful behavior. The singer begins by saying that they are holding on to the relationship by a thread, represented by a rope. The other party has caused them to become disconnected from their own feelings and thoughts, making them unable to communicate effectively. Although the person comes back apologizing and asking for forgiveness, the singer has moved on and believes it is too late for reconciliation. The hurt caused by the actions of the other person has changed the love the singer had for them from a warm, passionate fire to a cold, sad blue.

The lyrics of "Apologize" explore the emotional pain of unfulfilled love and the consequences of actions that lead to the end of a relationship. The song strikes a balance between sadness and anger, as the singer mourns what has been lost while holding the other person accountable for their actions. The chorus repeats the statement that it is too late to apologize, underscoring the finality of the situation.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm holding on your rope
I am dependent on you

Got me ten feet off the ground
You elevate me to great heights

And I'm hearing what you say
I understand you

But I just can't make your sound
I cannot express myself in the same way

You tell me that you need me
You say you rely on me

Then you go and cut me down, but wait
But you hurt me despite your words

You tell me that you're sorry
You apologize for your actions

Didn't think I'd turn around and say
You didn't expect me to respond in this way

That it's too late to apologize
Your apology is insufficient

It's too late
You cannot make up for your actions

I'd take another chance
I would give you another opportunity
