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.

hindi ko alam kung meron ba akong pandama
akoy natulala hindi maka pagsalita paos kasi ako at ang lakas ng tama
mukang wala nanga akong pakiramdam kung sya ang mahal mo wala akong paki
alam ayokong itanong kung ano ang iyong pangalan
pati ang number mo hindi ko rin gustong malaman
sa palasyo ko hindi kita dadalhin
ang bisitahin mo ako ay bawal din
lilituhin ayokong mag lakad kung ikaw ang kasabay
hindi kita type at ang iyong kamay hindi ko hahawakan sa halip ay
bibitawan wag kanang umasa dahil hindi kita liligawan
Wag kanang umasa pa(hindi naman kita mahal)
di kita sinasamba(kaya wag kang masyadong makapal)
ang payo ko sayo ay humanap kanang iba(dahil masasaktan kalang pag sakin ay umasa ka)
ang maging bf mo ay ayokong mag aply at sa manga txt mo ayokong mag reply
ang tawag mo hindi ko rin sinasagot kaya kung pwede lang ag mo na akong ipasa load
layuan mo ako gusto kong mapag isa gusto mo sine manood kang mag-isa
hindi kita bibigayan ng bulaklak o chocolate ayaw kitang ka date baka akoy ma rape
ang boses mo sa tuwina ayokong pakinggan at ang halik mo ayokong matikman
ang yakap mo na mahigpit sayo nalang yung tropa ko kung gusto mo kayo nalang
ano bayan bakit ako pakasi ang napili mo, kung ako sayo ibigin mo sarili mo kase
ang pag ibig ko sayo ay sing pait lang ng kape ayaw kitang maka tabi chupe!
Wag kanang umasa pa(hindi naman kita mahal)
di kita sinasamba(kaya wag kang masyadong makapal)
ang payo ko sayo ay humanap kanang iba(dahil masasaktan kalang pag sakin ay umasa ka)
sa aking puso pangalan mo hindi sinisigaw at ang laman ng isip koy hindi ikaw
maging sa panaginip koy ikaw ay absent manga love quotes ayaw ko sayo mag send
baka isipin mo na love kita ang totoo ayaw ko sayong makipag kita
hindi kita pag lalaban sa aking manga magulang ang pagmamahal ko sayo girl
kulang na kulang hangang sa tuluyan ako sayoy mababagot
lahat ng bagay sa mundo sayoy ipag dadamot kahit saang simbahan
di kita pakakasalan akoy hindi tapat sayo mag papaasa lang
tantanan mo na ako please lang ayokong humingi sayo
kahit isang kiss lang kasi para sayo ang tulad koy suplado na
hanggang sa kabilang buhay ay tablado ka
Wag kanang umasa pa(hindi naman kita mahal)
di kita sinasamba(kaya wag kang masyadong makapal)
ang payo ko sayo ay humanap kanang iba(dahil masasaktan kalang pag sakin ay umasa ka)
The above lyrics are from the song "Turn out the Light" by Various Artists. The song is about a man who is not in love with a woman who has fallen for him. He lists various reasons why he does not feel anything for her, making it clear that he does not want to lead her on, and advising her to move on and find someone else who will reciprocate her feelings.
The singer makes it clear that he does not feel any connection to the woman and that his heart does not skip a beat when he sees her. He states that he does not even want to know her name or number. He also says that he is not interested in taking her to his palace or visiting her, and he will not walk with her even if she is his companion in a crowded place. He does not like her touch and will not hold her hand, and he will not even respond to her calls or messages.
The singer advises the woman to stop hoping for something that will never materialize. He suggests that she find someone else, as it will only hurt her if she has false hopes with him. He goes on with a list of things he will not do for her or with her, and he tells her that she is not the person he wants to marry or spend his life with, and she should find someone else who will love her back.
Overall, the song is a poignant message about unrequited love and the pain of moving on from it.

Nung una kang nakita ay wala akong nadama
When I first saw you, I did not feel anything
hindi ko alam kung meron ba akong pandama
I didn't know if I had any feelings
akoy natulala hindi maka pagsalita paos kasi ako at ang lakas ng tama
I was speechless, unable to speak due to the strength of your impact
mukang wala nanga akong pakiramdam kung sya ang mahal mo wala akong paki
It seems like I don't even have feelings anymore because I don't care if she's the one you love
alam ayokong itanong kung ano ang iyong pangalan
I don't want to ask for your name
pati ang number mo hindi ko rin gustong malaman
I also don't want to know your number
sa palasyo ko hindi kita dadalhin
I won't bring you to my palace
ang bisitahin mo ako ay bawal din
Visiting me is also not allowed
para sayo di ko susungkitin ang manga bituin at sa halip ikay aking lilituhin
I won't pick the stars for you, instead, I'll confuse you
ayokong mag lakad kung ikaw ang kasabay
I don't want to walk with you
hindi kita type at ang iyong kamay hindi ko hahawakan sa halip ay bibitawan
I don't like you and I won't hold your hand, instead, I'll let go
wag kanang umasa dahil hindi kita liligawan
Don't hope because I won't court you
di kita sinasamba(kaya wag kang masyadong makapal)
I don't worship you (so don't be too cocky)
ang payo ko sayo ay humanap kanang iba(dahil masasaktan kalang pag sakin ay umasa ka)
My advice to you is to find someone else (because you'll just get hurt if you hope for me)
ang maging bf mo ay ayokong mag aply at sa manga txt mo ayokong mag reply
I don't want to be your boyfriend and I don't want to reply to your texts
ang tawag mo hindi ko rin sinasagot kaya kung pwede lang ag mo na akong ipasa load
I also don't answer your calls, so if possible, just share your load to me
layuan mo ako gusto kong mapag isa gusto mo sine manood kang mag-isa
Stay away from me, I want to be alone. If you want, you can watch a movie alone
hindi kita bibigayan ng bulaklak o chocolate ayaw kitang ka date baka akoy ma rape
I won't give you flowers or chocolates. I don't want to date you because I might rape you
ang boses mo sa tuwina ayokong pakinggan at ang halik mo ayokong matikman
I don't want to hear your voice all the time, and I don't want to taste your kiss
ang yakap mo na mahigpit sayo nalang yung tropa ko kung gusto mo kayo nalang
I'll give my tight hug to someone else. You can have my friends if you want
ano bayan bakit ako pakasi ang napili mo, kung ako sayo ibigin mo sarili mo kase
What's up with that? Why did you choose me? if I were you, I'd love myself instead
ang pag ibig ko sayo ay sing pait lang ng kape ayaw kitang maka tabi chupe!
My love for you is as bitter as coffee. I don't want to be near you, silly!
sa aking puso pangalan mo hindi sinisigaw at ang laman ng isip koy hindi ikaw
Your name is not shouted in my heart, and you're not on my mind
maging sa panaginip koy ikaw ay absent manga love quotes ayaw ko sayo mag send
Even in my dreams, you're absent. I don't want to send you any love quotes
baka isipin mo na love kita ang totoo ayaw ko sayong makipag kita
You might think that I love you, but the truth is, I don't want to meet you
hindi kita pag lalaban sa aking manga magulang ang pagmamahal ko sayo girl
I won't fight my parents for you, girl
kulang na kulang hangang sa tuluyan ako sayoy mababagot
I feel incomplete and I'll eventually get bored with you
lahat ng bagay sa mundo sayoy ipag dadamot kahit saang simbahan
I will keep everything to myself, even in church
di kita pakakasalan akoy hindi tapat sayo mag papaasa lang
I won't marry you, I'm not honest with you, I'm just giving you false hope
tantanan mo na ako please lang ayokong humingi sayo kahit isang kiss lang kasi para sayo ang tulad koy suplado na
Please leave me alone, I don't want to ask you for even just one kiss because I'm like a snob to you
hanggang sa kabilang buhay ay tablado ka
Even in the next life, you're friend-zoned
