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 ↴
Better than I would by myself
Or if I was with anybody else
You make the people say yeahhh yeahhhh... uhh
He wanna put me in palace
All the way down in Dallas
When you whisper in my ear,
Make a phantom just appear like magic
You wanna take me from my mom's house
To a Cambridge town house
Louis purses to collect,
Put some diamonds on my neck
Is that what you about, boy...
you think i look good
so you work your game
talking bout shiny little planes
and a buch of finer things no thanks poquito
Brought me in the back
So we can have a conversation,
I just need a little meditation
To think about you and me
Oh, I cant believe it
Ooh ooh he all on me, on me
I, I, I think he want me, want me
To be his one and only
Yeah...
Ooh I cant believe it
Ooh ooh he all on me, on me
I, I, I think he want me, want me
To be his one and only
Hmm... yeah
If you really want it,
Let me hear you say yeah... yeah... yeah
If you didnt know
We make the people say yeah... yeah... yeah
Tryna buy me out the mall
Throw your paper on it all
Wrapped in Dolce&Gabbana
And come over when you wanna get involved, no
You're so sexy (sexy, sexy)
But its hard to get me (get me, get me)
Boy I wanna know your heart and your mind
Not just your pedigree
Hmm...
But you look so good
So I wanna get to know you
Maybe dinner or a walk through the city
Baby just us two
Mhmm...
Boy I know you're focused and I dig your concentration,
I just need a little demonstration
Talkin' bout you and me
oh i cant believe it
ooh ooh he all on me on me
i i i think he want me want me
to be his one and only yeah
ooh i cant believe it
ooh ooh he all on me on me
i i i think he want me want me
to be his one and only
mmm yeah
if you really want me
let me hear you say yeah

The song "I Can't Believe It" by Various Artists is a feel-good track about the excitement and allure of a new romantic interest. The lyrics express the way the singer feels when they are with this person, describing how they feel better than they would by themselves or with anyone else. The other person seems to be wealthy and wants to lavish the singer with expensive gifts, which the singer is hesitant about, wanting to get to know them better on a deeper level. The chorus expresses the disbelief that this person is interested in them, and the repeated "yeah" represents their excitement and affirmation.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of superficiality and the hesitation to be with someone who only wants to show off their wealth and status. The singer wants to know the person's heart and mind, not just their pedigree. However, the allure of the finer things is still tempting, and the singer struggles with this desire.
Overall, "I Can't Believe It" captures the thrill and excitement of a new romantic interest while also acknowledging the tension that comes with the desire for material wealth and the need for deeper connection.

@@letlhogonolodiane3432 thats why I say arguably (not being a smart ass, I just like rap debates lol).These the only songs I think can be in the convo for best feature of the decade:
2 Chainz - Mercy (Star making verse, Instant turnup)
Nicky Minaj - Monster (She was kinda new at the time, but ate Kanye AND Jay Z. at the same time)
Kendrick - Control (New Niggas still aint got involved) AND Nosetalgia (Might be the best lyrically)
Drake - Stay Schemin (We aint heard from Common since lmao. Leave that man alone.)
Chance - Ultralight Beam (Til it drift to Pangea???? Amen)
Rick Ross - Devil and A New Dress (Ross at his peak)
If someone put anything else, they buggin lol
@Kyuzi

@anthonycolon9012
The beat change for kanye's verse gives me chills
