Lord knows, I love a brainless pop song.
When I think about 'Since U Been Gone,' I think the first thing that comes to mind is 'Livin' On A Prayer' - they're kind of like sisters, a little bit. And 'Call Me Maybe' was so wildly original, and so quirky, and so satisfying.
With 'Wagon Wheel,' I loved the visual it painted, and it's a song I can truly say I look forward to performing every night.
The easiest way I can describe what makes a pop song a pop song is that it's a song you want to hear over and over.
And of course, pop music is all about memorability and simplicity and positive messages and a little dash of joy.
'Kudi Maga' is a pub-style song, but the lyrics are really nice and the beats are catchy.
The perfect pop song is about creating a memory.
I admire pop songs that are perfect at three minutes.
This is the beauty of popular music, that it is based on simple and memorable tunes.
