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.

She's Not You
Various Artists Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

They got a lotta girls
Who know they got it goin' on
But nothing's ever a comparison to you
Now can't you see
That you're the only one I really want
And everything I need
Is everything you do

Any girl walk by, don't matter
Cause you're looking so much better
Don't ever need to get
Caught up in jealousy
She could be a super-model
Every magazine, the cover
She'll never, ever mean a thing to me

[Chorus]
She's no you, oh, no
You give me more than I could ever want
She's no you, oh, no
I'm satisfied with the one I got
Cause you're all the girl
That I ever dreamed
She's only a picture on a magazine
She's no you, she's no you

They got a lotta girls
Who dance in all the videos
But I prefer the way you do
The way you move
You're more than beautiful
And I just wanna let you know
That all I ever need
Is what I've got with you

Any girl walk by, don't matter
Every time you're looking better
I think you're perfect
There ain't nothin' I would change
She could be a super-model
Every magazine, the cover
She'll never, ever take my heart away

[Chorus]
She's no you, oh, no
You give me more than I could ever want
She's no you, oh, no
I'm satisfied with the one I got
Cause you're all the girl
That I ever dreamed
She's only a picture on a magazine
She's no you, she's no you

No one's ever gonna get to me
Oh, the way you do
Now baby, can't you see
That you're the one, the only one
Who's ever made me feel this way

Nothing's ever coming even close
No one's ever been comparable to you

I don't want nothin' I don't got
I don't need nothin' but you
I can't get more than you give me
Don't stop anything you do
You're all that, all that and then some
You know what, just what I need
And no girl, no place, no where
Could mean a thing to me

[Chorus]
She's no you, oh, no
You give me more than I could ever want
She's no you, oh, no
I'm satisfied with the one I got
Cause you're all the girl
That I ever dreamed
She's only a picture on a magazine
She's no you, she's no you

She's no you
They got a lot of girls who know they got it goin' on
(You give me more than I could ever want)
She's no you
Now cant you see that your the only one I really want
(Satisfied with the one I got)
Cause your all the girl that I ever dreamed
She's only a picture on a magazine

She's no you
She's no you
