The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Most often on Last.fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information.
Compilation albums, for example.
Sometimes, single releases may be credited to Various Artists when their profits are going to charity and, usually in high-profile cases, are sometimes known by a group name. Examples include Band Aid with their releases of Do They Know It's Christmas? and USA for Africa with We Are The World.
Various Artists is also an actual performance name for Torsten Pröfrock, who runs the German DIN label. Torsten performs also as Dynamo, Erosion, Resilent, Traktor besides some others. He's a good friend of Robert Henke and since the Fall of 2004, he is a member of Monolake.
Various Artists was also a short-lived Bristol punk band formed by brothers Jonjo and Robin Key (originally from Birmingham). Other members were also simultaneously in Art Objects who went on to become The Blue Aeroplanes, the latter the Key brothers also co-wrote some songs and were involved in. When Various Artists imploded, the Key brothers went on to form Either / Or.
Various Artists also appear on tracks from musical theater soundtracks, due to the nature of having many cast members on one song, as well as an ensemble in some cases.

I can take you places you ain't never been before
Baby, take a chance or you'll never ever know
I got money in my hands that I'd really like to blow
Swag, swag, swag, on you
Chillin' by the fire while we eatin' fondue
I don't know about me, but I know about you
I'd like to be everything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone
And I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'd never let you go
Tell me what you like, yeah, tell me what you don't
I could be your Buzz Lightyear, fly across the globe
I don't ever wanna fight, yeah, you already know
Imma make you shine bright like you're laying in the snow
Burr
Girlfriend, girlfriend, you could be my girlfriend
You could be my girlfriend until the w-w-world ends
Make you dance do a spin and a twirl and
Voice goin crazy on this like a whirlwind
Swaggie
I'd like to be everything you want
Hey girl, let me talk to you
If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone
And I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, yeah, yeah, yeah
NEVER LET YOU GO!
Give me a chance, you're all I need girl
Spend a week with your boy I'll be calling you my girlfriend
If I was your man (If I was your man),
Please, girl, I just want to love and treat you right
If I was your boyfriend, I'd never let you go
Keep you on my arm girl, you'd never be alone
And I can be a gentleman, anything you want
If I was your boyfriend, yeah, yeah, yeah

The song "Boyfriend" by Various Artists is a fun and upbeat teenage love song that is full of high energy and good vibes. The song opens with the singer telling a girl that he will never let her go and that he can take her to places she has never been before. He urges her to take a chance so that she will never have regrets. The next verse is about how the singer can be everything that the girl wants and he promises to treat her like a queen. The chorus then repeats with the singer saying that he will never let her go and that he will keep her on his arm so that she is never alone.
The second verse of the song has the singer asking the girl what she likes and what she dislikes. He tells her that he can be her Buzz Lightyear and they can fly all over the globe together. The next few lines of the song talk about how the singer wants to make the girl happy and how he wants to make her shine bright like she's laying in the snow. The chorus then repeats again with the singer saying that if he was her boyfriend, he would never let her go.
While the song comes across as a simple teenage love song, the final line in the lyrics is controversial and indicates that the singer is not interested in a girl who is underage. This line was added as a last-minute addition and was not part of the original song.

I can't believe we're finally alone
I can't believe I almost went home
What are the chances? Everyone's dancing
And he's not with you
The universe must have divined this
What am I gonna do? Not grab your wrist?
I could be a better boyfriend than him
I could do the shit that he never did
Up all night, I won't quit
Thinking I'm gonna steal you from him
I could be such a gentleman
Plus all my clothes would fit
I could be a better boyfriend
I don't need to tell you twice
All the ways he can't suffice
If I could give you some advice
I would leave with me tonight
The universe must have divined this, mmm, mmm
Ladies first, baby, I insist
I could be a better boyfriend than him
I could do the shit that he never did
Up all night, I won't quit
Thinking I'm gonna steal you from him
I could be such a gentleman
Plus all my clothes would fit
I could be a better boyfriend than him
I could be a better boyfriend
I never would have left you alone
Here on your own glued to your phone
Never would have left you alone
For someone else to take you home
I could be a better boyfriend than him
I could do the shit that he never did
Up all night, I won't quit
I'm gonna steal you from him
I could be such a gentleman
Plus you know my clothes would fit
I could be a better boyfriend than him
I could do the shit that he never did
Up all night, I won't quit
Thinking I'm gonna steal you from him
I could be such a gentleman
Plus all my clothes would fit

what does that line supposed to mean tho?
@kydeanna9018
@@plinka8981 she is basically saying that because they are both females and are around the same dress size, that when the girl friend wants to wear Doves clothes, they would fit her. In a typical male/female relationship when a girlfriend borrows clothes they are big and baggy.
