Pop
N Sync Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the deal with this pop life and when is it gonna fade out
The thing you got to realize, what we doing is not a trend
We got the gift of melody, we gonna bring it 'til the end
It doesn't matter,
'bout the car I drive or what I wear around my neck
All that matters,
It doesn't matter,
About the clothes I wear and where I go and why
All that matters,
Is that you get hyped 'cause we'll do it to you every time
(come on now)
Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you high?
It takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock
(your body starts to rock)
Baby you can't stop
(you can't stop),
And the music's all you got, come on now
This must be, pop
Dirty pop, that you can't stop
I know you like this dirty pop
This must be, pop
Now, why you want to try to classify the type of thing we do
Cause were just fine doin what we like, can we say the same for you
Tired of feelin all around me animosity
Just worry about trust cause I'ma get mine, people can't you see
It doesn't matter,
'bout the car I drive or the ice around my neck
All that matters,
Is that you recognize that its just about respect (oh)
It doesn't matter,
About the clothes I wear or where I go and why
All that matters,
Is that you get hyped 'cause we'll give it to you every time
(come on)
Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you high?
It takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock
(your body starts to rock)
Baby you can't stop
(you can't stop),
And the music's all you got, come on now
This must be, pop
Oh
Man I'm tired of singing
Dirty, dirty, dirty pop
Dirty pop
Do you ever wonder (echo)
NSync
(oh) Do you ever wonder why
(every wonder why)
This music gets you high?
(music gets you high)
It takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock
(when your body starts to rock)
Baby you can't stop
(baby don't stop),
And the music's all you got, come on now
This must be
Do you ever wonder why, this music gets you high?
It takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock
(your body starts to rock)
Baby you can't stop
(you can't stop),
And the music's all you got, come on now
This must be, pop
In N Sync's song "Pop," the lyrics dismiss the notion that pop music is just a passing trend. The group emphasizes their ability to write catchy melodies and that they will continue to make music until the end. They also express frustration with people who try to categorize their music and emphasize that respect is more important than material possessions.
The chorus consists of a catchy riff, "Do you ever wonder why this music gets you high? It takes you on a ride, feel it when your body starts to rock. Baby, you can't stop, and the music's all you got, come on now. This must be pop." It's a testament to the power of music to move people physically and emotionally.
The song is also a commentary on the music industry and the pressures put on performers to conform to a certain image or sound. The lyric "Why you want to try to classify the type of thing we do? 'Cause we're just fine doing what we like. Can we say the same for you?" implies that N Sync is comfortable being themselves and creating the music they love, no matter what others may say.

For any who don't know:
You'll want to look up the music of BT! (no exclamation point in the name, just my addition).
He's the one to thank for all of the glitchy awesomeness in this track.
One of the guys in NSync loved BT's music and asked to collab, thus this great track.
BT originated this technique, or at least his way of doing it, which he called the Stutter Edit!
He's the one who did the song that plays during the striptease in the first American Pie movie many years ago (tho under a different name).
Check out BT "Mad Skillz", "Never Gonna Come Back Down", and "Running Down the Way Up"
