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 ↴
Then all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That just what gangsters do
I'm fucked up, i'm black and blue
I'm built for it.all abuse
I got secrets.that nobody.nobody.nobody knows
I don't want.what i can get
I want someone.whit secrets
That nobody.nobody.nobody knows
I need a gangsta to love me better
Then all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
Thats just whats gangsters do
I'm freakness in on the loose
And running.all over you
Please take me to places.that nobody.nobody goes
You got me hooked up on the feeling
You got me hanging from the ceiling
Got me up so high i'm barely breathing
So don't let me, don't let me, don't le me, don't let me go
I need a gangsta to love me better
Then all the others do
To always forgive me
Ride or die with me
That just what gangsters do
These lyrics are about a person who is longing for a certain kind of love - a gangster's love. The singer is seeking someone to love her better than anyone else could, someone who will always stick by her side regardless of the circumstances. She admits to being damaged and broken - black and blue - and she's looking for someone who can handle that. She has secrets that she has never told anyone, and she wants someone who has their own secrets that they're keeping from the rest of the world.
The singer is not interested in surface-level relationships or flings - she wants something deeper, something with more meaning. She wants to go to places that nobody else ever goes, to experience life in a way that is unique and exciting. The singer is hooked on the feeling of being loved by a gangster, and she doesn't want to let go. She needs to be loved by someone who will always forgive her, ride or die with her, and love her better than anyone else ever could.
Overall, these lyrics express a yearning for acceptance, love, and understanding - the kind of love that only a gangster can offer. It speaks to the idea that sometimes the people who seem the most dangerous are actually the ones who can offer the most genuine love and support.
