- Popular Song LyricsLa la, la la
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular, bitch!
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movies selling popular
corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
[Chorus]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to do
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Always on the lookout for someone to hate
Picking on me like a dinner plate
I hid during classes, and in between them
Dunk me in the toilet, now it's you that cleans them
You tried to make me feel bad with the shit you do
It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
Uh, the joke's on you
And everyone's laughing, got everyone clapping,
asking
How come you look so cool?
Cause that's the only thing that I've learned at school
So that's the only thing I've learned at school
[Chorus]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
It's all you ever need to know
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to do
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Before the next time that you calling me crazy
Lazy, a faggot, or that (?)
Here's the one thing that's so amazing
It ain't about that to be a loser baby
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
All you ever need to know
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
It's all you ever need to know
You're only who you were
It's all you ever need to know
You were the popular one, the popular chick
It is what it is, now I'm popular, bitch!
Standing on the field with your pretty pompons
Now you're working at the movies selling popular
corn
I could have been a mess but I never went wrong
Cause I'm putting down my story in a popular song
Said I'm putting down my story in a popular song
[Chorus]
My problem, I never was a model,
I never was a scholar,
You were always popular,
You were singing, all the songs I don't know
Now you're in the front row
Cause my song is popular
Popular, I know about popular
It's not about who you are or your fancy car
You're only ever who you were
Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you
That's all you ever need to know
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to do
Catch up, cause you got an awful long way to go
Always on the lookout for someone to hate

Popular, I know about popular
And all that you have to do, is be true to you.
It's all you ever need to know
You're only who you were
It's all you ever need to know

When we think about the meaning behind each verse, the single 'Popular Song' by MIKA gives us an insight to the struggle of acceptance and being viewed as the one that everybody wants, by revealing that the real power of popularity lies in being who you are and not pretending to be someone else. It brings up the subjects of harassment and social standards, stressing that it is fine not to behave according to the norms and that being a 'loser' is not such a bad thing if you are honest. In other words, the song gives an empowering message to those who feel hopeless, angry, and left out while commenting on the society that brings people down and at the same time providing them with joy and inspiration. Besides, it points out the same issues but from a different perspective, mainly, self-acceptance, bullying and social dynamics, and popularity and its superficiality. Sexual content is one of the mature themes that appear in the lyrics along with bullying and slang words, which are considered unsuitable for kids below 13 years old.
