Analysis Of The Song The Worst, By Jazmine Sullivan

976 Words4 Pages

I remember a couple weeks ago I encountered a boy I liked and I gave him my number.I hadn’t expected to make such a bold move in pursuit of love, but I did. To this day I can not believe I made such a ludicrous and spontaneous move. Usually I play everything by the book: the boys asks me for my number, not the other way around.Let’s just say I got a little bit of lyrical courage from the song “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen. Sometimes when I try to talk myself out of doing something I turn on a song to motivate me. Songs often encourage me to do things I would not have done without the extra push.Many people share this same sentiment. Regardless of what genre of music a song is, all great songs have common characteristics. …show more content…

One of the first songs that come to mind would be “ Stupid Girls” by Jazmine Sullivan. In the song, Sullivan speaks to the degrading tactics men use to limit the potential of women. Sullivan uses the song as a call to action: to “use your mind and take over the world.” The song’s lyrics are memorable because they deliver a clear and concise message that many can relate. Additionally, in the song “The Worst” by Jhene Aiko, Aiko speaks about being in love with someone who does not reciprocate the love she holds for them. Although this person hurts her, she still stays because she can not imagine being without him. The song’s chorus is quite infectious with its repetition of “ you are the worst, you know what you’ve done to me.” For those who have suffered through tumultuous relationships, these lyrics ring true.Another song with memorable lyrics is “God’s Plan” by Drake. Throughout the song, Drake expresses his gratitude for all of the blessings bestowed upon. However, he also uses the song as a way to express to the transgressors that he is aware of all their ill-willed intentions. In doing so, he uses the catchphrase “ they wishing and wishing on me.” Personally, I do not know all of the lyrics to the verses, but I do know that one catchphrase.As such, every great song should have a lyric that listeners can remember, even if they do not know the song in its

They talk about how everything was easier and wished that when they were kids, they didn’t think about the future so much, and just lived in the moment, and enjoyed while it lasted. One line from the song Stressed Out is ‘Wake up you need the money’. This line talks about how very soon we need will need to make money and pay for things by ourselves, instead of hiding behind our parents letting them pay for everything.
