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.

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 have an entire playlist that's just covers of Toxic. It's too good of a song.

Try the versions by Solence and Calvin Arsenia.

Would Lights by Ellie Goulding count because that song slaps

Lots of Britney, Gaga and Gwen Stefani.

However specifically for this question, 7 Ring by Ariana Grande and I have no explanation why.

Fat white mid 50s male.

Call Me Maybe, such a banger

β€œKiss Me” by Sixpence None The Richer

love to know how people interpret a β€œgirl” song. my mind is all over the place atm trying to classify songs and artists. like, is Taylor Swift the bakery of girl songs? does boss bitch / bad bitch energy count within the realm of girl songs? etc.

Surprised how nobody mentioned "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada

Attributing gender to someone's song preferences has to be the strangest example of mental gymnastics I've seen for a while.

Are you new to the whole β€œhuman” thing? We gender absolutely everything.

Not as much in English compared to some other (mostly European) languages
