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.

Kidz Bop Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you here, hereI need you now
When I'm without you
I'm something weak
You got me begging
Begging,I'm on my knees
I don't wanna be needing your love
And it's killing me when you're away
Ooh, baby
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta see you in that place
Sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and dance away with me
I'm right here, 'cause I need
Little love and little sympathy
Yeah you show me good dancing
Make it alright
Need a little sweetness in my life
Sugar
Yes, please
Won't you come and dance away with me
My broken pieces
You pick them up
Don't leave me hanging, hanging
Come lift me up
When I'm without you
I'm so insecure
You are the one thing
One thing,I'm living for
I don't wanna be needing your love
I just wanna be here with your love
And it's killing me when you're away
Ooh, baby
'Cause I really don't care where you are
I just wanna be there where you are
And I gotta see you in that place
