    This song is disgustingly offensive to women. Why doesn't he sing about a real issue instead of something so superficial and disrespectful at the same time?

    To the person above- I actually have mixed feelings on this song. On one hand, it's really nice to hear this, because it's kind of...idk...respectful to the mom to say that this girl's good looks are in her family, not from makeup or whatever. But then again I really hate the lines "and if the mama real ugly i guarantee she be ugly like her mama". Number one, that's really mean. Number 2, it's not always true. I know these beautiful girls that have moms that aren't ugly, but plain. It's like, they could be pretty if they tried, but they don't. Or sometimes they are just flat out ugly.

    I am sorry but this song is fucking pathetic. i hate this type of music. why am I here? to bash is of course because of the shit that is put out these days. I'm sorry, what happened to when a song had deep metaphorical lyrics, not some fucked up beat and repetitive lyrics that's just about girls and sex the whole goddamn time. this is why I listen to bands like Marilyn Manson and Cradle Of Filth, intellectual, poetical and metaphorical lyrics that requires you to think. and metal bands like opeth. musical geniuses, songs that are 10 minutes long, brilliant lyrics. not some fucker who sings about the same shit over and over again.

    Killwestlife. Haha, if you're going to act holier than someone y'know... name drop some decent bands who aren't as pop and throwaway as someone like Will.I.Am. Imo, this song is fantastic. People shouldn't get so serious over it because it's just a song. As far as I'm concerned the song's catchy... it's got a great beat and it's got a sense of humour - maybe some of you should get one of those=)

    EmoAtylex, I agree. I think this song is degrading to women to be honest. I can't believe he had the audacity to make a song like this.

Just A Little Lovin'
Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example: "'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
