For the dudes here... What "girl" song you secretly love?
For the dudes here... What "girl" song you secretly love?
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.
Fat white mid 50s male.
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 actually like White Houses more)
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
I'm the same way, but mine is "Toxic" also by Brittany.
“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.
it's more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn't marketed towards men.
I don't know of any particular song but I like a lot of female pop artists that as a guy I am not supposed to like. I like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and all the rest of them as well as genie in a bottle by Christina Aguilera and some Britney Spears. Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck what other people think about me. If you don't like me, then it's probably best that we not talk with each other anyway.
Lovefool by The Cardigans
Oops I Did It Again, but this version
Songs by Pink! They normally got a good drive to them and sound great!
These boots were made for walking
It's raining men
Man! I feel like a woman!
Tons of great "girl" songs that I'll belt when they come on. Besides all the Broadway and show tunes that I love.
Music is music. A good song transcends girl or boy.
My wife got me into Rihanna, and Lana Del Ray.
Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.
Hold my hand by Lady Gaga.
Destiny Child (as a whole their music kicks)
Pussycat dolls another good band. I know you asked about songs but... Here we are lol
Pretty much anything by Marina and the Diamonds. Specifically Pimadonna Girl, though.
Dancing Queen by ABBA
Yael Naim - New Soul
senorita. I can feel the lyrics even it's sung by a female. "I love it when you call me senorita, every touch is oh-lala"
I guess a good bit of Emilie Autumn could fall into that class if I where to put tags on it.
This may not exactly answer your question, but I saw a question the other day on another platform "Men, what song that is sung by a female vocalist do you sing with all your heart?" Below was my answer to that question.
Love Story - Tayler Swift
Fast Car - Tracy Chapman
Ashes - Celine Dion
Waterfalls - TLC
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Fucking Perfect - Pink!
Hello - Adele
Higher Love - Whitney Houston
Beyond The Burning Skies - Battle Beast
I Get Off - Lizzy Hale
I’m a 47 year old man.
Whenever I hear Salute by Little Mix, I bop along. How could you not?
Wrong Impression - Natalie Imbruglia
Two Become One - Spice Girls
C'est La Vie - B*Witched
Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross
I don't really think of songs as girl songs or boy songs. That being said, I guess La vie en rose by Edith Piaf, I guess? Nothing secret about it, though.
Also, no secret in me liking I want it that way. Never told anyone, but that's because nobody ever asked me.
Pretty Girl Rock by Keri Hilson is a fucking jam
True by Spandau Ballet
As a huge swiftie, there are a lot of songs to pick from.
Tori Amos's Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It's a perfect song.
The Beaches - Blame Brett
Vanessa Paradis 😊
It's raining men by the weather girls.
Going back a few years I loved 90s Mariah Carey and Jewel. Fiona Apple’s debut album was instrumental in my life. Nowadays, I am not a super fan or anything but I enjoy and have very high opinions of T Swift, Gaga, Beyoncé and many other.
My daughter recently introduced me to Chappell Roan and damn she’s amazing.
My go to is Adele.
Hot'n'Cold polka version by Ukrainian cover band Los Colorados:
I feel like we haven't discussed the genius that is Toxic by Brittney Spears enough in this thread.
Take me Home by Jess Glynn
Freak Like Me and not the Adina version
Uh, here I go, here I go, here I go again
Girls, what's my weakness? (Men!)
Pretty much anything by Birthday Massacre.
Countdown by Beyonce... It's super catchy and puts a big smile on my face!
"Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyonce. Does it qualify?
Rich by Maren Morris
I recently came across Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter and it sounds like the old pop that I like.
Monster by Meg and Dia
No jokes, if you liked that Britney track, check out "Vivien" by Crosses, and die laughing when you get to the chorus.
As to your question? Brandy and Monica, "The Boy Is Mine". The harp line in the instrumental goes fierce, and both women have heavenly voices. (Always wondered why they didn't just click up and mess up the dude that played 'em both.)
Someone already posted my first thought, No Doubt- Just a Girl, so I'll add some modern songs.
Doechii- Black Girl Memoir
Megan Thee Stallion - Anxiety
Secretly? My Type by Saweetie. Trashiest lyrics you've ever heard but it really helps energize me in the mornings
I've had Girls Aloud in my rotation recently. Their songs are just fun and really catchy. Also have The Veronicas, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift etc...
Literally anything by Baby Queen.
Or, for a throwback, Cry For You by September.
Such an oddly gendered question for no reason.
Wtf is a "girl song"???
Did a 5yo write this question?
