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.
I'm Not The Only One
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For better or for worse
I can't believe you let me down
But the proof's in the way it hurts
For months on end I've had my doubts
Denying every tear
I wish this would be over now
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
You've been so unavailable
Now sadly I know why
Your heart is unobtainable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
I have loved you for many years
Maybe I am just not enough
You've made me realize my deepest fear
By lying and tearing us up
You say I'm crazy
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
But when you call me baby
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
I know I'm not the only one
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know
And I know, no
I know I'm not the only one
The lyrics to Kidz Bop's song "I'm Not The Only One" speak about a person in a relationship who made a vow to stay with their partner through thick and thin, only to be let down when they realize that their partner has been cheating on them. The person is in pain as they try to deal with their doubts and tears while still holding on to the knowledge that they still need their partner in their life. They acknowledge that their partner may think they are crazy for suspecting them of being unfaithful, but they know the truth and cannot pretend that everything is alright.
The lyrics also bring to light the fact that the one who cheated had become emotionally unavailable, and the person who was cheated on finally understands why. They come to terms with the fact that they may not have been enough for their partner and realize that their deepest fear has been realized by their partner's cheating. However, they still cannot let go of their partner even though they know they should.
The repeated lyrics of "I know I'm not the only one" emphasizes the pain and betrayal the person feels as they come to terms with the fact that their partner was unfaithful. Despite the hurt, they also acknowledge the fact that they are not the only one going through such struggles, and others have faced similar challenges in past relationships.
Overall, the lyrics to Kidz Bop's "I'm Not The Only One" showcase the emotional turmoil that one faces when dealing with the betrayal of a loved one in a relationship.

You and me, we made a vow
We made a promise to each other
For better or for worse
No matter what happens, we'll be there for each other
I can't believe you let me down
I'm surprised and disappointed that you betrayed my trust
But the proof's in the way it hurts
The pain I feel is evidence that you did something wrong
For months on end I've had my doubts
I've been suspicious for a long time
Denying every tear
Trying to hide my emotions from you
I wish this would be over now
I want this pain to end
But I know that I still need you here
Despite everything, I still love you and want you in my life
You say I'm crazy
You think I'm irrational
'Cause you don't think I know what you've done
You believe that I'm ignorant of your actions
But when you call me baby
Your affection makes me feel like I'm not the only one going through this
You've been so unavailable
You've been distant and hard to reach
Now sadly I know why
I've discovered the reason for your unavailability
Your heart is unobtainable
You're emotionally unavailable
Even though Lord knows you kept mine
Despite your lack of feelings for me, I still love you
I have loved you for many years
I've had feelings for you for a long time
Maybe I am just not enough
Perhaps I'm not what you need or want
You've made me realize my deepest fear
You've confirmed my greatest insecurity
By lying and tearing us up
Your deceitful actions have destroyed our relationship
And I know
I am aware of the situation
And I know, no
I definitely know
I know I'm not the only one
I understand that there may be others going through the same thing as me
