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.
Crush
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me, it's just too much, just too much
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, goin' away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hanging, spending time girl
Are we just friends? Is there more? Is there more?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, goin' away
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I've just got to know
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, goin' away
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
The lyrics of "Crush" by KIDZ BOP Kids depict the confusion and excitement of having feelings for someone and not knowing if those feelings are reciprocated. The singer is experiencing a rush of emotions and possibilities, but also feels overwhelmed by the prospect of the person they like feeling the same way.

I hung up the phone tonight
I just ended a call
Something happened for the first time
I experienced something new
Deep inside it was a rush, what a rush
I felt an intense feeling of excitement
'Cause the possibility
The chance
That you would ever feel the same way
That you would reciprocate my feelings
About me, it's just too much, just too much
It's overwhelming to think about
Why do I keep running from the truth?
Why do I keep avoiding the reality?
All I ever think about is you
You're always on my mind
You got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
You have a captivating effect on me
And I've just got to know
And I need to find out
Do you ever think when you're all alone
Do you ever contemplate when by yourself
All that we can be, where this thing can go?
About the possibilities of our relationship
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Am I insane or falling for you?
Is it real or just another crush?
Are my feelings true or just temporary?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Do I take your breath away when you see me?
Are you holding back like the way I do?
Are you repressing your feelings like I am?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I'm attempting to distance myself
But I know this crush ain't goin' away, goin' away
But I know these feelings won't subside
Has it ever crossed your mind
Have you ever considered
When we're hanging, spending time girl
When we're together
Are we just friends? Is there more? Is there more?
Are we only friends or can there be something deeper?
See it's a chance we've gotta take
It's a risk we need to take
'Cause I believe that we can make this into
Because I have faith in us turning this into
Something that will last, last forever, forever
A relationship that will endure for eternity
