"The song's about one of my best friends from when I was younger. He totally betrayed me by hanging out with these enemies of mine - these perfect girls, who wore lip-gloss and talked about boys and were really annoying. He and I had grown up climbing trees, playing in the woods, and going on holiday together, so I thought he'd be cooler than that. But when he turned 15 years old he wanted a girlfriend. I was like, 'Well fine, I'll just pretend I don't give a shit even though I'll never ever forgive you, even when I'm 22 years old and writing a song about it." - Kate Nash |

"It's so great that "Empire State of Mind" is huge and that everyone has the New York song, but what the fuck? What about LA? What about California?. It's been a minute since we had a California song and especially from a girl's perspective. We took the references of Prince, which is always a great reference, and some of the '90s, almost house music references." - Katy Perry

7. ELLIE GOULDING - Under The Sheets
from the album 'Lights'.
Purchase 'Under The Sheets' HERE or 'Lights' HERE on iTunes.
"['Under the Sheets'] was the easiest song I've written, but actually when I listen to the lyrics they are actually quite meaningful. They are about a young female and a young male who are in a relationship but it's a bad, dark relationship in that its only based on being physical. It's not like a sexual song, it's more like shows that some relationships are based on nothing that is real, they are not based on something good. I've had that experience in my life, because you're trying to cling on to something that you know you're in denial. That's what the song is about in that you know the world won't bring us down, you can be as happy as Larry inside your house with your boyfriend or lover, but as soon as you step outside you're in the real world and you have to deal with it." - Ellie Goulding

8. WE THE KINGS feat. DEMI LOVATO - We'll Be A Dream
from the album 'Smile Kid'.
"Do you remember the nights
We made our way dreaming
Hoping of being
Someone big
We were so young then
We were too crazy
In love
When the lights go out
We'll be safe and sound
We'll take control of the world
Like it's all we have to hold on to
And we'll be a dream..."
