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.

ﻣﺎ ﻛﻔﺎﻧﻰ ﻣﺎ ﻛﻔﺎﻧﻰ ﺟﺮﻭﺡ

The lyrics to "Je t'aime" by Various Artists express a deep affection for someone. The singer repeats the phrase "mais quoi" (but what) throughout the song, suggesting a searching for the right words to express their love. The lyrics go on to repeat "je t'aime" (I love you) over and over again in different ways, from "I like everything about you" to "I am your shadow, your faithful shadow." The repetition of these phrases emphasizes the depth and intensity of the singer's feelings.
The song also includes religious references, with the phrase "wa Allah qasduhu jalla jalaluh" (and Allah, with his great glory, is my intention) appearing towards the end of the song. This could suggest that the singer sees their love as being divinely inspired or guided, or that they see their love as being a reflection of their relationship with God.

تري الامل لو ما صدقت
You see hope if you don't believe
ما كفاني ما كفاني جروح
My wounds are never enough for me
ليه ودك تأخريني
Why do you want to delay me?
انتي تحكي جديد او تمزحي
Are you telling me the truth or joking?
والله قصدك تحيي شوقي من جد
By Allah, you are really reviving my longing
احلفلك بالله كمل بعد واشرح
I swear by Allah, complete it and open up
يوم شافك صال عناياي؟
When I saw you, my concerns were resolved
انتي تحكي جديد
Are you telling me the truth?
اااااااااااه ولا قصدك تحيي شوقي من جد
Ooooh, and you don't really revive my longing
واشقلتلك كمل لي تسمى
And I will ask you to call me
لا تمن بفرحتي في يومين عاش
Do not wish for my joy in two-day life
قلتلك اني فيها انام
I told you that I am sleeping in it
وفيديك انام
And in your favor, I am sleeping
وهايم ومهموم وكل وقاتي وحيد
Wandering, worried and all my times are alone
ودي انام فيكمها أنام
And I want to sleep in you
وفيدي فيكمها أنام
And in your favor, I sleep in you
وهيم ومهموم وكل وقاتي وحيد
Wandering, worried and all my times are alone
ودي انام فيكمها أنام
And I want to sleep in you
ودي انام ودي انام
I want to sleep, I want to sleep
ودي انام ودي انام
I want to sleep, I want to sleep
ما كفاني ما كفاني جروح
My wounds are never enough for me
