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.

Various Artists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are you feelin all right?
I told the world that you were down on your luck
You were one of a kind
One who'd never give in
Even when they put a price on your head
Or seen the scars you wear
Did anyone speak up when you fell
Does anybody care
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And dont let 'em end the things you do
And you were one with a cause
And a reason to be
You were a fighter for peace on this earth
And you were never afraid
You put your life on the line
And you were always alone out on the sea
Without a weapon in your hand
You came to fight a war
They took your life but didn't know
That you would never die
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't 'em end things you do
Are you feelin alright?
Cause I care, care
Run along little fighter
Oh cause I was there beside you
Never stop believing, so rise
Rise
RISE!
Rise again little fighter
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter
And don't 'em end things you do
Rise again little fighter (Don't stop believing)
And let the world know the reason why
Shine again little fighter (And keep on moving)
And don't 'em end things you do
Yeah, don't let 'em ever end the things you do
The song "Fighter" by Various Artists is a heartfelt tribute to those individuals who fight for what they believe in, no matter the cost.

The singer goes on to discuss how the fighter was truly unique: they never gave up despite what life had thrown their way, even when being targeted by others for their beliefs. The lyrics acknowledge the scars and tales that the fighter both collects and tells, and questions whether anyone has ever listened or cared enough to take notice.
The chorus is a powerful message of perseverance and hope. The little fighter is encouraged to rise again and shine, despite any obstacles that may stand in their way. Their stories and struggles are celebrated, not forgotten, and they are urged to continue fighting for what they believe in. The song recognizes that sometimes in life, we may feel alone, but it's important to know that others care and stand beside us, cheering us on. Ultimately, the message of "Fighter" is one of strength and resilience, encouraging those who may be struggling to keep going, knowing that they are not alone.
