Hailee Steinfeld – "Love Myself" (2015)

Our favorite line: “When I get chills at night / I feel it deep inside without you”

This werewolf of a pop song may pretend it’s a self-empowerment anthem. But it takes about 1.5 spins for it to reveal its true nature.

After hearing lines like “Keeping that tempo right without you” and “Pictures in my mind on replay,” one can’t deny the fact that Steinfeld’s debut single is actually a masturbation anthem. Not that it’s something to be ashamed of, as Hailee’s making self-pleasing sound both empowering and catchy. We’re just not entirely keen on that whole “I know how to scream my own name” business. At least when we’re spending some quality time with ourselves, we’re trying to keep it down. Plus it’s just a bit weird, even by pop music standards.

O-Town – "Liquid Dreams" (2000)

Our favorite line: “Janet Jackson's smile, throw in a body like Jennifer's / You've got the star of my liquid dreams”

We love to reminiscent on the good old days of bubblegum pop of late '90s/early '00s without properly analyzing the content that was spoon-fed through the speakers to the whole generation of pre-teens around the globe.

One of the most outrageous songs of that Britney-fied pop era was a little ditty called “Liquid Dreams” by American quintet O-Town, which was formed during the Making the Band reality show. There’s not much innuendo with this one: as if the lyrics about making the sheets wet at night while dreaming about Destiny’s Child and Janet Jackson (and it was before her nipple scandal!) weren’t straight-forward enough, the music video showcased the guys dancing inside what can be only be described as computer-generated walls of semen. The golden era of pop indeed.
