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 "Mala" by Various Artists is a mix of Reggaeton and Latin Trap music that talks about a man who is tired of being with a woman who is toxic and manipulative towards him. The opening lines of the song affirm that the man is ready to break free from this woman and celebrate his newfound freedom with drinks and other women. The song seems to emphasize the idea that the singer is moving on from a woman who was once important to him but is now causing him more harm than good.
Throughout the song, the singer refers to the woman as "mala," meaning bad or evil, and states that she has made his life difficult by treating him poorly. Conversely, the singer claims to have other women interested in him, which emphasizes the woman's insignificance in his life. The song paints a picture of a toxic relationship that, despite the fun that the two have together, is ultimately not sustainable. The lyrics seem to be a warning to anyone who may be in a similar situation, urging them to break free from toxic relationships and prioritize their own well-being.
Overall, "Mala" is a catchy upbeat song with a deeper message about toxic relationships and self-value. The song's mix of Reggaeton and Latin Trap genres adds to its fun and engaging nature, making it an enjoyable listen.
