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.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Changed completely you gotta believe me
At first I didn't know my life is gonna be
Changed completely you always protect me
(I Love You) Can't figure out a way to say Yeah!
Can't stop feeling this feeling
(I Need You) To be around me when I'm lonely
I love you forever
I need you forever
―― OPPA! ―― MUR MUR!
―― GEON BAE! ―― JJANDORI JUMP!
(I Love You) Can't figure out a way to say Yeah!
Can't stop feeling this feeling
(I Need You) To be around me when I'm lonely
And to love me forever
I love you forever
I need you forever
I love you I love you I love you forever
I need you I need you I need you forever
I love you I love you I love you forever
I need you I need you I need you forever
I never knew I would find someone like you to be my wife
Can't believe you are the only one for me
I love you forever
