I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.
I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.
Toxic by Britney Spears. Absolute fucking banger. Musically interesting for an American pop song. Each chorus has the chords walk down, which is pretty cool, but then on the next bar something really interesting happens. Instead of walking down from the second of the four chords, there are back to back tritone substitutions! So fucking cool!
I… I agree…
Yeah, that’s exactly what I was thinking too….
If you want to hear a surf rock instrumental cover that is actually phenomenal check out The Surfrajettes. Also amazing name.
I have an entire playlist that’s just covers of Toxic. It’s too good of a song.
Try the versions by Solence and Calvin Arsenia.
My favourite is when hardcore bands cover pop songs because the songs are often structured the same, so good.
(I actually like White Houses more)
I’m the same way, but mine is “Toxic” also by Brittany.
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
Attributing gender to someone’s song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I’ve seen for a while.
Are you new to the whole “human” thing? We gender absolutely everything.
Not as much in English compared to some other (mostly European) languages
Meh, there’s a ton of songs written strictly from female perspectives or with a female audience in mind. From Peggy Lee to the Spice Girls and so on.
I feel like they apply as “Girl Songs”.
Not how I personally interpreted the question, but that’s a fair point.
Even if that’s the case though, I don’t see why anyone would have to keep it a secret. To quote a favourite ‘girl song’ of mine…“Why’d you have to go and make things so complicated?”
Being insecure isn’t teenager exclusive, I guess.
I think OP is just asking the age-old question of “what is you guilty pleasure pop-song”. Just very poorly worded. I’m not gonna hold that against 'em.
🤦🏽♂️
Would Lights by Ellie Goulding count because that song slaps
Pretty much everything by Avril Lavigne.
Have you heard the recent album with the Blink 182 guys? Travis Barker drums with Avril’s vocals are great.
Oh wow. Yeah I have it but didn’t realise the Blink 182 guys were involved till now.
Loved what the hell by her
“Kiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer
love to know how people interpret a “girl” song. my mind is all over the place atm trying to classify songs and artists. like, is Taylor Swift the bakery of girl songs? does boss bitch / bad bitch energy count within the realm of girl songs? etc.
I’m a Barbie Girl.
Every so often I listen to Lady Gaga. I really like a few of her earlier songs but haven’t listened to most of her discography.
I hate that music and gender are somehow connected, but unfortunately that’s the world we live in. Anyone who gives me crap for listening to/doing/etc. “girly” things is a person I don’t want in my life.
Unfortunately I have experienced this quite a lot. I was even shamed for wearing the color pink, and that was a shirt for males specifically and they still thought it was “girly”. Also, I was a brony at one point (not anymore), yep, you can guess what happened.
Surprised how nobody mentioned “Everytime We Touch” by Cascada
I really like the Electric Callboy cover of it. You should listen to it.
Man I love those guys.
One of my favorites in highschool and made EDM my favorite genre (well, that and playing speed over Beethoven in DDR). My faves now are apashe and avicii. If anyone knows any EDM that incorporates classical elements (especially strings and/or piano) I am ALL ears.
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Straight banger
I don’t know what qualifies as “girl” music.
I’ve never checked a songs genitalia myself.
Man, you don’t know what you’re missing. There’s long hard ones, soft fuzzy ones, and more!
Same. I like iwrestledabearonce, they have a lady singer
Lover by Taylor Swift. Also Toxic by Brittany
I’ll add “Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve” by Taylor. It’s a bonus track on Midnights and easily could’ve been the title track on a different album
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Have you heard her cover of Made Up Mind by the Bros. Landreth? SO fucking good!
Just listened to it and god she is amazing. Great recommendation!
