#1 Kill Bill – SZA

Spotify Streams: 3,509,277

Release date: January 10, 2022

SZA introduces the song with a movie allusion. She refers to her former boss, an assassin, even if she has become resentful. The former assassin in the film pursues Bill, her ex-lover and employer. She is envious of the new team the previous boss now rides with. This might, however, very well apply to SZA’s personal life about an ex-lover she is envious of.

#2 Flowers – Miley Cyrus

Spotify Streams: 2,066,087

Release date: January 12, 2023

In the full song, Cyrus references the wildfire in Los Angeles in 2018 that burned their house in Malibu (“We were right ’til we weren’t / Built a home and watched it burn”). Some arguments made her realize this relationship wouldn’t work (“I didn’t want to leave you, baby / I didn’t want to fight”). This lends more support to this theory.

#3 Die For You – The Weeknd, Ariana Grande

Spotify Streams: 1,685,866

Release date: February 24, 2023

Die For You is a song about relationship challenges, mainly when couples don’t spend enough time together. The Weeknd frequently discusses a fictional persona he has invented in the lyrics of his songs.

#4 Boys’s a liar Pt.2 – Pink Pantheress, Ice Spice

Spotify Streams: 1,511,586

Release date: November 30, 2022

The sorrowful difference between PinkPantheress’s approach, which is committed to creating something together because she is motivated by true love, and her man’s approach, which appears to be after appearances only, is the tragic contrast that sets the tone for the song. She hopes her man will pop the question one day, but he appears prepared to walk away if she loses her current beauty.

#5 Creepin’ (with The Weeknd & 21 Savage) – Metro Boomin, The Weeknd, 21 Savage

Spotify Streams: 1,321,820

Release date: December 2, 2022

The song “Creepin'” is about being betrayed by the girl you love. The rappers know that the girl is cheating in the lyrics, but they choose not to confront her to avoid starting a conversation that would end the relationship.

#6 Escapism – RAYE, 070 Shake

Spotify Streams: 585,276

Release date: October 12, 2022

RAYE’s lyrics discuss drinking, utilizing addictive substances, and seeking help from a medical expert as a form of escapism. She is trying to escape or numb her suffering by engaging in hedonistic activities since she feels overtaken by her emotions. RAYE is looking for a method to end her pain.

#7 Calm Down – Rema, Selena Gomez

Spotify Streams: 74,849

Release date: February 11, 2022

The song describes the singer’s infatuation with a girl he met at a party. The singer immediately knows that he wants something more than a dance tonight, so he takes.

#8 CUFF IT – Beyoncé

Spotify Streams: 481,158

Release date: September 28, 2022

It has been ascertained by some analyses that “Cuff It” is a sex song, even though only one passage really – that being the third verse – is overtly erotic. However, what’s apparent, when all is said and done is that the vocalist addresses a romantic interest. 

#9 As It Was – Harry Styles

Spotify Streams: 185,472

Release date: April 1, 2022

The elusiveness of “As It Was” has been much greater than his previous single, “Fine Line.” Styles was upfront in an intervie when he said that the album was about “having sex and feeling unhappy,” but he has been considerably more coy and reserved about the inspiration behind his next work. Late in March, he quietly and simply announced the album on Instagram. The few interviews he’s given in preparation for the release of “As It Was” have only corroborated that Ruby Winston, his goddaughter, is the child whose voice opens the song and that the song is about “metamorphosis” and is based on his experience during the lockdown.

#10 Players – Coi Leray

Spotify Streams: 161,167

Release date: November 30, 2022

The lyrics highlight the message of the feminization of “player” roles, indicating that women are also capable of achieving financial success and making autonomous decisions. The lyrics also encourage women to be assertive and reject men who can’t afford to give them a good life.
