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.

Right now I need a miracle
Hurry up now, I need a miracle
Stranded, reaching out
I call your name but you're not around
I say your name but you're not around
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
I think I'm losing my mind now
It's in my head, darling I hope
That you'll be here, when I need you the most
So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
D-don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, down, down
Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down

But now there's nobody by my side
I need you, I need you, I need you right now
Yeah, I need you right now

The lyrics to KIDZ BOP Kid's "Don't Let Me Get Me" expresses feelings of vulnerability and dependency on someone else for support. The lines "Crashing, hit a wall/ Right now I need a miracle/ Hurry up now, I need a miracle" suggest that the singer is facing some sort of problem or obstacle in their life and is desperately in need of help to overcome it. They are stranded and reaching out to someone for support, but unfortunately, that person is not present. The refrain "I need you, I need you, I need you right now" emphasizes the singer's feelings of dependence on someone else.
The line "Running out of time/ I really thought you were on my side/ But now there's nobody by my side" implies that the singer feels betrayed or let down by someone who they thought was on their team. This has left them alone and vulnerable, feeling like they are truly "losing their mind."
Overall, the song paints a picture of someone who is struggling with an issue in their life and is in desperate need of support. It's a call to someone, anyone, to be there for them in their time of need, and not to let them down.
