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.
Rolling in the Deep
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay it up there
See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do
There's a fire starting in my heart
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played to the beat
Baby I have no story to be told
But I heard one of you and I'm gonna make your head burn
Think of me in the depths of your despair
Making a home down there as mine sure won't be shared
The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all
The scars of your love they leave me breathless
I can't help feeling
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played to the beat
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
But you played it with the beating
Throw your soul through every open door
Count your blessings to find what you look for
Turn my sorrow into treasured gold
Pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
We could have had it all
Rolling in the deep
You had my heart inside of your hand
Well you played, you played it, you played it, you played it to the beat
The Kidz Bop version of "Rolling In The Deep" captures the fiery and intense emotions of the original song. The first verse describes a person who has been hurt by someone they love and is finally able to see the situation clearly. They acknowledge that they have been wronged and are ready to leave the situation behind. The second verse refers to the "scars of your love" which remind the person of the relationship they lost. Even though it ended badly, they can't help feeling like they could have had it all.
The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the idea of missed opportunities and lost chances. The person in the song feels like they had everything within their grasp, but it slipped away from them. The bridge encourages the person to keep their head up and turn their pain into something valuable - "treasured gold." The song ends with a final repeat of the chorus, driving home the message that the person should have had it all.
Overall, "Rolling In The Deep" is a powerful and emotionally charged song that speaks to the universal experience of heartbreak and loss. While it is a sad song, it is also an empowering one, encouraging the listener to turn negative experiences into opportunities for growth and learning.
