Pop Song
The Jins Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don′t you forget you are my favourite star
And I'll always love you the most

And I think about
About all the times
All the times that we shoulda had
Had, but we don′t
Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah
Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah

And I hope you'll find the time to call me up
Just to hear my breath on the other end of the line
But I know you'll pass me by a million times
′Cause I′m really just a jumped up bore
Just a stick in the mud

Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah

I swear to God, I swear I believe
I got so messed up, man, I can't see
I think I fucked up, guess I was right
Waaah!

And one day I′ll stop, I'll stop
Calling you up
Because I′m always reminded of the
Things that keep us apart
And I guess that I am too
Too far gone
Because I can't even remember the sound of your voice





Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah

Overall Meaning

The Jins’s song Pop Song seems to be addressing a former lover or crush who has become a famous star. The song's narrative is written from the perspective of an admirer who acknowledges that they are not as important or entertaining as the star, but still they can’t help themselves. The opening lines “Don’t you forget you are my favorite star and I’ll always love you the most” come across as a sentimental appeal to connect with the star. The chorus appears to express unrequited love with lines like “I hope you'll find the time to call me up, just to hear my breath on the other end of the line, but I know you'll pass me by a million times” and the repeated “Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah”.


The verses reflect on missed opportunities and what could have been with lines like “And I think about all the times, all the times that we shoulda had, had, but we don’t”. The writer's mourning over the loss of a relationship is a common theme in music, and they seem to reflect on the past and its power over the present. The lyrics also express a sense of self-doubt with the lines “I’m really just a jumped-up bore, just a stick in the mud”. This suggests that the writer could be feeling inferior to the star, and the star may never reciprocate their feelings.


Overall, Pop Song captures the frustration and heartbreak of an unfulfilled relationship. The Jins’s song has depth and a relatable lyrical narrative made even more poignant because of the catchy melody.

And I'll always love you the most
My love for you will never change, you will always be the one I love the most.


And I think about

The many instances


All the times that we shoulda had

And I hope you'll find the time to call me up

Just to hear my breath on the other end of the line
Just to let me serve as a comforting presence on the phone


But I know you'll pass me by a million times
But unfortunately, you will ignore me countless times


′Cause I′m really just a jumped up bore

Just a stick in the mud
Not spontaneous or daring


I swear to God, I swear I believe
I am certain, I have conviction

I believe I made a fatal mistake and sadly, I was correct


Waaah!

And one day I′ll stop, I'll stop
Someday I will cease

Things that keep us apart
The reasons that keep us from being together


And I guess that I am too
And I suppose that I am also


Too far gone
Too much lost


Because I can't even remember the sound of your voice
Because I can't recall the sound of your voice anymore


Woah a-o-o-oah woah woah
Musical interlude
