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.
Say
Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up
Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low?
Remind me once again just who I am, because I need to know (ooh oh)
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours
What You say of me (I)
I believe
The only thing that matters now is everything You think of me
In You I find my worth, in You I find my identity, (ooh oh)
You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing
You say I am strong when I think I am weak
And You say I am held when I am falling short
When I don't belong, oh You say that I am Yours
And I believe (I), oh I believe (I)
What You say of me (I)
I believe (I)
The song "You Say" by KIDZ BOP Kids is an empowering and inspirational song that speaks to the struggles that many people face with self-worth and self-doubt. The lyrics convey a message of hope and encouragement, reminding the listener that they are loved, strong, and held even in their lowest moments. The singer discusses the battle with negative thoughts that try to bring them down, but ultimately chooses to believe in the positive things that they are told by someone they trust.
The opening verse is a powerful reflection of the negative thoughts that can plague our minds, causing us to question our own value and worth. When we're bombarded with lies and self-doubt, it's easy to feel like we're not enough. However, the chorus offers a counterpoint to these negative thoughts, reminding us that we are loved and valued even when we can't feel it. The repetition of "You say" emphasizes the importance of having someone in our lives who can remind us of our worth when we need it most.
As the song continues, the singer expresses their belief in the affirmations that they are given. They find their worth and identity in the positive things that are said about them, and choose to let go of the negative thoughts that hold them back. The final chorus, with its emphasis on "what you say of me," reinforces the idea that the most important thing is what we believe about ourselves, and that having someone who believes in us can make a world of difference.
Overall, "You Say" is a moving and uplifting song that encourages listeners to overcome self-doubt and believe in the positive things that are said about them.
