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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't go any further than this
Ooh
I miss you so badly, it's my biggest wish
Cool, I spend my time
Just thinkin', thinkin', thinkin' 'bout you
Every single day
And all those things
We used to, used to, used to, used to do
Hey girl, what's up?
It used to, used to be just me and you
I spend my time
Just thinkin', thinkin', thinkin' 'bout you
Every single day
Yes, I'm really missin', missin' you
And all those things
We used to, used to, used to, used to do
Hey girl, what's up?
What's up, what's up, what's up?
(Can you meet me halfway?)
Right at the borderline
That's where I'm gonna wait
(For you)
(I'll be lookin' out)
Night 'n' day
(Took my heart to the limit)
(And this is where I'll stay)
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I can't go any further than this
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I miss you so bad, it's my only wish
Girl, I travel 'round the world
And even sail the seven seas
Across the universe
And go to other galaxies
Just tell me where to go
Just tell me where you wanna meet
I'll navigate myself
Myself, to take me where you be
'Cause girl I want
I, I, I want you right now
I travel uptown
Town, I travel downtown
Wanna to have you around
Round like every single day
I love you all way
Way, I'll meet you halfway
(Meet me halfway)
Right at the borderline
That's where I'm gonna wait
(For you)
(I'll be lookin' out)
Night 'n' day
(Took my heart to the limit)
(And this is where I'll stay)
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I can't go any further than this
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I miss you so bad, it's my only wish
Let's walk the bridge
To the other side
Just you and I
(Just you and I)
I will fly, fly the skies
For you and I
(For you and I)
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
For you and I
Can you meet me halfway?
Can you meet me halfway?
Can you meet me halfway?
Right at the borderline
That's where I'm gonna wait for you
I'll be lookin' out
Night 'n' day
Took my heart to the limit
And this is where I'll stay
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I can't go any further than this
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
I miss you so bad, it's my only wish
(Oh, whoa, oh, whoa)
