"Not A Pop Song" lyrics
"Not A Pop Song"
They look for picture perfect
Don't look deeper than the surface
Bubblegum always pops and
Stars they fade out, life never stops
I don't do what Simon says
Get the message 'cause it's read
That's just life, it never plays fair
Said to follow any dream
Be a puppet on a string
Works for you but that isn't me
This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what!"
A hamster on a wheel
That's how it feels tryna be real
These unrealistic expectations
Said we'll make it if we fake it
I don't do what Simon says
Get the message 'cause it's read
That's just life, it never plays fair
Said to follow any dream
Be a puppet on a string
Works for you but that isn't me
This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what!"
No broken bottles
Or glitter on the floor from the night before
Ain't no boy troubles
If that's what you came here for, then you should know that
This ain't another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
Or a party song 'bout drinks and drugs
No more singing songs 'bout breakin' my heart
And my lonely nights, dancin' in the dark
If I'm a guilty pleasure, I want this life forever
I'll take it all 'cause anything is better
Than another pop song 'bout fallin' in love
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what!"
Not a pop song
I don't give a what!
Not a pop song
But if you wanna sing along say, "I don't give a what!"

"I don't do what Simon says" looks like a reference to Little Mix's former boss, Simon Cowell. Some admit that one of the next lines, "Be a puppet on a string", means that his record label, SyCo, didn't treat the band well.
Jade Thirlwall told fans about "Not A Pop Song", "Concept wise there's a song on the album that I'm really excited for everyone to hear because it's kind of something we've sung about before but we go a little more in depth and it's more about our journey as pop stars and in the industry and how people deem girl bands as a 'guilty pleasure.'"

When you told me I didn't give you enough

Dua Lipa - "Physical" Common love isn't for us
We created something phenomenal

Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande - "Rain On Me" I didn't ask for a free ride
I only asked you to show me a real good time
I never asked for the rainfall
At least I showed up, you showed me nothing at all
It's coming down on me
Water like misery...

Only when we're out our minds
Now we're trying to swim in the deep end

Cher Lloyd - "One Drink Away" You see how I pull up to the party
Came in with an attitude I'm bossy
I know that I'm keeping your attention
But I ain't tryna hook up with nobody
I took nine shots I like the way they hit me
I'm in...
