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.

    Lots of Britney, Gaga and Gwen Stefani.

    However specifically for this question, 7 Ring by Ariana Grande and I have no explanation why.

    “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.

    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 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.

    Attributing gender to someone’s song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I’ve seen for a while.
