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.
Would Lights by Ellie Goulding count because that song slaps
I’m the same way, but mine is “Toxic” also by Brittany.
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)
Attributing gender to someone’s song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I’ve seen for a while.
