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.

¡¡¡Baila!!!
Mirame a los ojos y mira el brillo
no puedo sacarte
y siento que mi piel se quema,
es que no quiero no quiero mentir, quiero que sepas que muero por ti,
porque el silencio te juro por Dios que me mata.
Tu no me quieres como hombre lo sé y eso duele,
solo un amigo al que llamas y dices quererle,
pero no quiero no quiero mentir,
quiero que sepas que muero por ti,
hoy vas a saber que siempre soñé con tus besos...
TE AMO,
NO QUIERO SER TU AMIGO ME HACE DAÑO,
TENERTE CERCA Y NO BESAR TUS LABIOS,
ESPERARÉ POR SIEMPRE SER TU AMOR...
TE AMO,
NO QUIERO SER TU AMIGO ME HACE DAÑO,
TENERTE CERCA Y NO BESAR TUS LABIOS,
ESPERARÉ PACIENTE SER TU AMOR...
¡¡¡Saltando arriba!!!

The song "Te Amo" by Various Artists is a cumbia song that expresses the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics start by saying that the stars have come together, perhaps symbolically representing the union of Argentina and Chile, the two countries mentioned in the song. The song then transitions to a man expressing his longing for a woman who only sees him as a friend. He describes the feeling of his skin burning with desire for her, and how he can't bear the idea of just being friends. The chorus repeats the phrase "Te amo," meaning "I love you" in Spanish, emphasizing the intensity of the man's emotions. He goes on to say that he will wait patiently to become her lover, unable to bear being close to her and not being able to kiss her lips.
The song is full of passion and vulnerability, as the man is willing to risk rejection and confess his love. The upbeat cumbia rhythm contrasts with the sadness of the lyrics, creating a catchy tune that invites listeners to dance and sing along.
