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.
Let Me Love You
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
Somethin' beautiful
Sellin' a dream
Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle
On a miracle
Say, go through the darkest of days
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a real crazy ride
Driving the edge of a knife
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't fall asleep
At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us
Miles ahead of us
All that we need
Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough
Know we're good enough
Say go through the darkest of days
Heaven's a heartbreak away
Never let you go, never let me down
Oh, it's been a real crazy ride
Driving the edge of night
Never let you go, never let me down
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
(Never let you go)
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you

I used to believe
I once thought something was true
We were burnin' on the edge of somethin' beautiful
We were on the cusp of something great
Somethin' beautiful
This thing was amazing
Sellin' a dream
Promising something that's not real
Smoke and mirrors keep us waiting on a miracle
Our hope is based on something that's not real
On a miracle
We believe in something that's unlikely to happen
Say, go through the darkest of days
Even in tough times
Heaven's a heartbreak away
We're only one step away from disaster
Never let you go, never let me down
We're in this together forever
Oh, it's been a real crazy ride
Things have been really hectic
Driving the edge of a knife
There's a lot of tension
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Don't lose hope
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up either
Let me love you
Let me show you how much I care
Don't fall asleep
Stay alert
At the wheel, we've got a million miles ahead of us
We have a long journey ahead
Miles ahead of us
We have a lot of ground to cover
All that we need
The only thing we need
Is a rude awakening to know we're good enough
Is to realize that we're already worthy
Say go through the darkest of days
Even in tough times
Heaven's a heartbreak away
We're only one step away from disaster
Never let you go, never let me down
We're in this together forever
Oh, it's been a real crazy ride
Things have been really hectic
Driving the edge of the night
There's a lot of tension
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Don't lose hope
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up either
Let me love you
Let me show you how much I care

Don't lose hope
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah

Let me love you
Let me show you how much I care
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
Don't lose hope
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up either
