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.

Let's get high right now!
We don't give a damn about money
We alive right now
All we do is party and get high right now
Shot, shot! Gonna get another shot
Get a check on the money, so the money never stop
Tap tap! Man I do homie, pow!
I'm a need y'all to turn the fuck up, right now!
I'm a need y'all to turn the fun up, right now!
I'm a need y'all to fill yo cups out!
Now I'm a need y'all to while out
Ga ga, do it again
Lost my mind, gonna loose it again
You're so fine, you need a friend
I gotta carry that light until we begin, like action
Rage, rage the night away
Forget about the money I'll spend today Gonna sell everything I spent today
Let's start the party with the money out the way
Hangin' like apostrophes you can quote me
Then throw the gate in yo face like Steve Aoki
Go hard in the pace cause she need to know me
Her body insane, man, she provoke me
Like pow!
I'm a need y'all to turn the fuck up, right now!
I'm a need y'all to turn the fun up, right now!
I'm a need y'all to fill yo cups out!
Now I'm a need y'all to while out
Get down, keep it on the low
You a jump down girl, no geronimo
In the condo you know I would go
On the bed, on the couch and on the floor
On the floor get on the floor
Don't step, nigga, back, that's all I know
Don't step nigga back, that my dough
Squat!
Rage, rage the night away
Forget about the money I'll spend today Gonna sell everything I spent today
Let's start the party with the money out the way
The lyrics to the song Dance the Night Away by Various Artists are all about letting loose and having a good time. The opening lines, "We alive right now, let's get high right now," are a call to abandon any worries about the future or the past and live in the moment. The song's party theme comes through clearly in lines like "All we do is party and get high right now," and "Let's start the party with the money out the way."
Throughout the song, the singer encourages the listener to turn up the fun, fill their cups up, and while out. The chorus, "Rage, rage the night away, forget about the money I'll spend today, gonna sell everything I spent today," reinforces the idea that the night is for living fully in the moment and not worrying about anything else.
The verse about a woman whose body "insane, man, she provoke me" is a classic party anthem trope – a nod to the idea of living without limits and letting oneself be carried away by desire. Overall, Dance the Night Away is a high-energy celebration of being alive, and an encouragement to let go of any worries and live in the moment.

1:06 “My heart could be burning but you won’t see it on my face”
Damn this lyric really shows how in the introduction of the movie Barbie looked “normal” enjoying her perfect life when on the inside, she was just expierencing all these thoughts she’s never had before. And like she just masked it acting perfectly fine like she always was. And when Barbie did mention about dieing, everyone instantly was just suprised. Which made her have to “mask” herself more in a way. (If that makes sense)
And like this is what I love so much about this song. Dua Lipa is an icon and I love all her songs. I really think this song was a great way to start the movie (other than Lizzo’s song) but like the way I love it so much is because the happy and “exciting” tone of the song really masks the lyrics that just brush past you as you listen. Like, it’s kinda some slight foreshadowing that I really like.
More lyrics that “show this” ⬇️
2:54 “When my heart breaks, you’ll never see, you’ll never see”
0:52 “When the night’s here I don’t do tears”
1:19 “Latley I’ve been moving close to the edge, still looking my best”
2:19 “Even when the tears are flowing they’re diamonds on my face”
None less, the Barbie movie was amazing and definitely not what was I expecting (in a good way) and it really beat my expectations.
Anyways this was just me overanalzing this song and kinda the Barbie movie in general but like I just had to, I really liked this movie and I think it’s definitely a masterpiece for what it is considering it’s just a movie based off of a doll brand.
Anyways live laugh love Dua Lipa and go watch this movie

Lyrics 💙
[Verse 1]
Baby, you can find me under the lights
Diamonds under my eyes
Turn the rhythm up, don't you wanna just
Come along for the ride?
Ooh, my outfit so tight
You can see my heartbeat tonight
I can take the heat, baby, best believe
That's the moment I shine
[Refrain]
'Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
JELEEL! 'MAN OF THE YEAR!' (Live Performance) | Open Mic
[Pre-Chorus]
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My hеart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dancе, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Verse 2]
Lately, I been movin' close to the edge
Still be lookin' my best
I stay on the beat, you can count on me
I ain't missin' no steps
[Refrain]
'Cause every romance shakes and it bends
Don't give a damn
When the night's here, I don't do tears
Baby, no chance
[Pre-Chorus]
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away
My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dance, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I'll still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Post-Chorus]
When my heart breaks (They never see it, never see it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play safe (Ooh), don't you know about me? (Uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance
[Bridge]
Even when the tears are flowin', they're diamonds on my face
I'll still keep the party goin', not one hair out of place (Yes, I can)
Even when the tears are flowin', they're diamonds on my face (Yes, I can, yes, I can)
I'll still keep the party goin', not one hair out of place
[Chorus]
Watch me dance, dance the night away (Uh-huh)
My heart could be burnin', but you won't see it on my face
Watch me dance (Dance), dance the night away (Uh-huh)
I still keep the party runnin', not one hair out of place
[Post-Chorus]
When my heart breaks (They never see it, never see it)
When my world shakes (I feel alive, I feel alive)
I don't play safe, don't you know about me? (Uh-huh)
I could dance, I could dance, I could dance

Now that I’ve seen the movie, this song is so perfect for the start of Barbie’s existential crisis. The lyrics are literally describing the turmoil bubbling inside of her, while still being a total summer bop.
