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.

Don't treat me like no angel
You know that I can be a lot to handle
When I'm high off of you...
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
You're like poison on the tip of my tongue
And I'm High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
It's one of them days
Goner than I've ever been
Feelin' a way
Down to try something different
Lips and legs, soft skin so feminine
Curves like me, covered in my cherry scent
Them boys loves some you
But I ain't mad 'cause you look good on me too
On me too
Them boys loves some you
But I ain't mad 'cause you look good on me too
She look good to me too
Don't treat me like no angel
You know that I can be a lot to handle
When I'm high off of you...
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
Oh you do me like I'm your drug
You're like poison on the tip of my tongue
And I'm high off of you
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
It's one of them nights
Fingers up and down my legs
Feel like mine
Getting high off my own supply
Feels so right
Being done just how I like it's 2 am
I'll be covered in my cherry scent
Them boys loves some you
But I ain't mad 'cause you look good on me too
On me too
Yeah, them boys loves some you
But I ain't mad 'cause you look good on me too
Don't treat me like no angel
You know that I can be a lot to handle
When I'm high off of you...
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
Oh you do me like I'm your drug
You're like poison on the tip of my tongue
And I'm high off of you
High off of you
High off of you
High off of you
The song "She" by Various Artists is a sultry, slow R&B track that explores the feelings of being high off of a lover. The lyrics suggest a toxic relationship where both parties are addicted to each other like drugs; the singer admits that her lover is like poison on the tip of her tongue, but she can't help being high off of them. This theme of addiction is further explored when she sings "getting high off my own supply," suggesting that she has become addicted to her own sensuality and is unable to break free from the cycle of needing this lover.
The song's upbeat tempo and sensual lyrics are contrasted by the singer's admission that she knows she can be a lot to handle- she's no angel. This adds a layer of complexity to the song's message; while the singer is not innocent, she still craves the feeling of being high off of her lover. The repetition of the phrase "high off of you" emphasizes this addiction, as though it's the only thing on the singer's mind. The chorus of the song also suggests that the singer is not alone in her addiction- "them boys loves some you but I ain't mad 'cause you look good on me too."
Overall, "She" by Various Artists is about the addictive, intoxicating feelings of being in a toxic relationship, where both parties are using each other like drugs. The song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting yourself become addicted to someone or something, even when you know the relationship is not healthy.

I'm enjoying being with you just as much as you're enjoying being with me
Feels so right
Being with you feels natural and perfect
Being done just how I like it's 2 am
You know exactly what I want and you give it to me, even late at night
I'll be covered in my cherry scent
I'm so wrapped up in you that your scent lingers on me even after you're gone
