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 lyrics of this song, "Push it," are an anthem to motivate us to give our all for whatever goal we have set for ourselves. The song emphasizes the importance of pushing ourselves beyond the limit and experiencing the sweet taste of success. It encourages us to ignore the naysayers and critics who try to dampen our spirit and live our lives on our own terms.
If Eminem was the one singing this song, he would add his signature style rap verses to it, challenging himself and his audience to give their all and overcome all obstacles to attain success. He would highlight the importance of working hard, dedicating oneself to the goal, and not settling for mediocrity. In a style similar to "Lose Yourself" by Eminem, he would emphasize that this is our moment, our chance to show what we are made of, and we should not waste it.
If Taylor Swift had to sing this song as a country-pop track, she would make the lyrics more personal and emotional. She would talk about her own struggles with self-doubt and the pressure of living up to unrealistic expectations. She would emphasize the importance of self-belief and staying true to oneself despite the criticism from others. The chorus would be like an anthem, urging the listeners to push themselves to the limit, work harder and show everyone what they are capable of achieving.
If Maroon 5 was to sing this song, it would have more of a pop-rock feel to it. They would emphasize the importance of working together and supporting each other in the pursuit of a common goal. They would add guitar tunes and more upbeat instrumentation to make the song more energetic and positive.
