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.
SWEET DREAMS
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every night I rush to the bed
With hopes that maybe I'll get a chance
To see you when I close my eyes
I'm going out of my head
Lost in a fairytale
Clouds filled with stars cover your skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
You can be a sweet dream
Or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me
Your love's too good to be true
My guilty pleasure
I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
I mention you when I say my prayers
I wrap you around all of my thoughts
Boy, you're my certain type of guy
I wish that when I go out you're there
To wrap your arms around me for real
And tell me you'll stay by my side
Clouds filled with stars cover the skies
And I hope it rains
You're the perfect lullaby
What kinda dream is this?
A sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me
Your love's too good to be true
My guilty pleasure
I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
I've got your name across my heart
So it will remain
Not even death can make us part
What kind of dream is this?
You can be a
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Somebody pinch me
Your love's too good to be true
My guilty pleasure
I ain't going nowhere
Baby, long as you're here
I'll be floating on air
'Cause you're my
Sweet dream or a beautiful nightmare
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
Either way I
Don't wanna wake up from you
The song "Sweet Dreams" by Kidz Bop begins with the singer expressing her hopes to see a certain person in her dreams. She's in love with this person and can't stop thinking about them.

Essentially, she doesn't want to wake up from the dream she's having about this person because she enjoys being in love with them so much.

She's wondering whether it is possible for this person to be there for real when she goes out. The singer seems to be very happy and content being in love with this person. She has their name across her heart, showing that she is committed to this person and that not even death can come between them. The song overall expresses a deep longing for someone, a hope of being with them, and a reluctance to leave the fantasy world she's created in her mind where she's with the person she loves.
