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.

The song "Hey Ya" by Various Artists is a fast-paced, upbeat track with a mix of happy and sad lyrics. The song is about a man who loves his significant other but is struggling with the possibility that she may not feel the same. He knows she loves him, but he can't help feeling insecure about their relationship. He expresses his concerns about the thought of her wanting to leave, and he knows deep down that it would kill him if she did.
The song's chorus constantly repeats the phrase "heyyyyy ya" and "alright, alright, alright," which serves as a distraction to the emotional lyrics. The lyrics of the song ultimately address the complexity and sometimes confusing nature of relationships. The verses express feelings of hesitancy, doubt, and insecurity, while the chorus creates a catchy and danceable hook.
Overall, the song is a commentary on the complexity of love and relationships, and the duality of joy and sadness that can come with both.

Him dancing in different costumes in the background and singing all the vocals is the equivalent of having to do all the work in a group project.
