The Way I Are [Dance with Somebody] ( Bebe Rexha ft. Lil Wayne)

About the song, Bebe said: “It’s a f-you song to the record label. When you’re developing as an artist you have to kinda fight the sterotype of what everybody’s expecting of you, what way you should be, how you should look, what color your hair should be, how your make up should be and what you should wear. But the most important thing is if you like you and if you like the way you look”.

Crying in the Club ( Camila Cabello )

The song is an fiery anthem about uplifting yourself after a downfall.

Camila broke down the song ON AIR with Ryan Seacrest, saying:

For me, the club is kind of like a euphemism. The lyrics say stuff like “Let the music lift you up like you’ve never been this free, let the music lift you up like you’ve never been so high.“ I feel like for me, that was more of what the writing process and what the album making process was saying to me.

To me the song is an extended metaphor where you're asking somebody to "write" on you, envelop you with their words, make their mark on you like you're a blank canvas.
