Lucky
Kidz Bop Kids Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is a story about a girl named Lucky

Early morning, she wakes up
Knock, knock, knock on the door
It's time for makeup, perfect smile
It's you they're all waiting for

They go, "Isn't she lovely
This Hollywood girl?" and they say

"She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?"

Lost in an image, in a dream
But there's no one there to wake her up
And the world is spinning
And she keeps on winning
But tell me, what happens when it stops?

They go, "Isn't she lovely
This Hollywood girl?" and they say

"She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?"

"Best actress, and the winner is, Lucky!"
"I'm Roger Johnson for Pop News
Standing outside the arena
Waiting for Lucky"
"Oh my God, here she comes!"

Isn't she lovely, this Hollywood girl?
She is so lucky, but why does she cry?
If there is nothing missing in her life
Why do tears come at night? And they say

"She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking
If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?"

She's so lucky, she's a star
But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart
Thinking




If there's nothing missing in my life
Then why do these tears come at night?

Overall Meaning

The song "Lucky" by Kidz Bop Kids is about an individual who moves to Los Angeles to chase their dreams of fortune and fame. They create a new identity for themselves and quickly become a sensation, with cameras flashing and everyone adoring them. However, they soon realize that the price of fame is high as they lose their sense of self and privacy. They feel used and confused, with their secrets splashed on the front page of newspapers. The song then fast forwards to someone several years later who shows up in Los Angeles and hears about the legend of the first individual. The legend says that the person left Los Angeles and used their money to buy a plot of land and live happily ever after.


The lyrics of the song explore the idea that success and fame may look attractive from the outside, but they often come at a price. The person who moves to Los Angeles believes they will be lucky, given their good looks and popularity, but they later realize they were used by others to achieve their goals. The second verse then shows a contrast between the person who left Los Angeles and the person who stayed, with the former being the lucky one because they found happiness outside of fame and fortune.


The message of the song can be seen as a cautionary tale for those who strive for fame and fortune, as well as a realization that true happiness cannot be found in material possessions or other people's opinions.
