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.
On My Mind
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh-oh-oh, hey
It's a little crazy how the whole thing started
I don't even really know what you intended
Thought that you were cute and you could make me jealous
Kept it down, so I kept it down
Next thing that I know I'm hanging out there with you
You wanted my heart but I just felt so confused
Kept it down, so I kept it down
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
I always hear, always hear them talking
Talking 'bout a girl, 'bout a girl with my name
Saying that I hurt you but I still don't get it
You didn't love me, no, not really
Wait, I could have really liked you
I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you
It's a shame (shame), you said things were good
So I kept it down, so I kept it down
And now I don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And I know I shouldn't say it
But my heart don't understand
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind
You got yourself in a dangerous zone
'Cause we both have the fear, fear of being alone
And I still don't understand it
You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth
And my heart don't understand it, understand it, understand it
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
Why I got you on my mind (but my heart don't understand)
Why I got you on my mind (you think you know somebody)
You think you know somebody (why I got you on my mind)
You think you know somebody
Ah-ah-ah-ah-oh-ah
The lyrics of "On My Mind" by KIDZ BOP Kids paint a picture of someone who is struggling to understand their feelings towards another person. The song begins with the singer expressing their confusion about their crush, whom they initially believed was trying to make them jealous. However, their crush's behavior became more intense as they began to talk about love and winning the singer's heart. Despite this, the singer is still unsure of their feelings and keeps them hidden.
The second verse shows the singer reflecting on their past actions and regretting not being more upfront with their crush. They hear rumors and gossip about themselves and the person they like but are still confused about their own feelings. The singer hints at a deeper connection between themselves and their crush, but ultimately decides to keep their emotions hidden.
The chorus of the song repeats the titular line, "Why I got you on my mind," and showcases the singer's struggle to understand their own emotions. They know that they shouldn't be thinking about this person who may not feel the same way, but their heart won't let go. The song ends with a cautionary warning about the dangers of being trapped in the "dangerous zone" of feelings and the fear of being alone.
Overall, "On My Mind" is a relatable song about navigating emotions and trying to make sense of confusing feelings towards someone. The lyrics highlight the struggle of not knowing whether to express one's feelings or keep them hidden, while also acknowledging the danger of getting too caught up in one's emotions.
