When I Was Your Man is an RnB song

Written by Andrew Wyatt, Ari Levine, Peter Gene Hernandez (Bruno Mars) and Phillip Martin

II Lawrence

Performed by Bruno Mars.

It portrays a man who has losing his girlfriend and just realized it was his own mistakes.

He regrets the mistakes which he realizes it is late to make up for because they have parted ways

and she has already found another partner. The song gets me sad by reminding a previous

relationship where I was wrong and it led to a break up. It hurts deep down realizing I could have

done some things differently and have built a great relationship with the most wonderful girl I

ever met.

Faded is an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) song

Written by Alan Walker, Jesper Borgen, Anders Froen and Gunnar Greve Pettersen

Performed by Alan Walker.

The song talks about a man who has found out his true character differs from his previous

self and he is trying to understand if his previous self was just an illusion he created in his mind.

He questions himself what happened to that character because he cannot find it within himself

anymore. It reminds me of things in my earlier years that I could have sworn I’d never do. It

really makes me wonder if I said things for the sake of it because now I don’t even feel that way

anymore. On the other hand it opens up my mind the principles I set for my life in earlier years.
The Lazy Song is a reggae, reggae-pop song

Written by Hernandez Peter Gene (Bruno Mars), Levine Ari, Lawrence Philip Martin and

Warsame Keinan Abdi

Performed by Bruno Mars

It is one of my favorite songs. The song narrates a man who just feels lazy after a great

night of fun and just wants to do nothing but relax with neither anyone disturbing nor chores to

stop him. Listening to the song gets my body and mind relaxed and feeling lazy, nothing to do or

think about just enjoying the music. It explains my whole mood on my free days when I just

want to relax and not have to think or care about a thing in the world. The instrumental is also

relaxing.

One Man Can Change The World is a pop-rap song

Written by Sean Anderson (Big Sean), Kanye West, John Stephens, Amaire Johnson, William

Roberts II and Dijon McFarlane

Performed by Big Sean

The song outlines the challenges growing up from a poor background, taking a while

before becoming successful and working ordinary jobs just to get by. It reminds me of the

challenges I’ve gone through growing up. The song also is full of encouraging words. It may

seem like it makes me sad by reminding me of a dull past or my current state but it gives me

hope to keep on working hard because I can make it to a better tomorrow.

See You Again is a pop-rap song

Written by Cameron Thomaz (Wiz Khalifa), Charlie Puth, Andrew Cedar, Dann Hume, Josh

Hardy and Phoebe Cochburn

Performed by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth

It is a song about a man mourning the death of a close friend who they didn’t get the

opportunity to explore the world as they would have wanted to. Listening to the song makes me

sad as I think about how sad I would be if someone close to me passed on too early before

achieving his or her dreams and not getting to spend more time together. To live waiting to meet

them again and share all that has been happening since the friend departed is just saddening.

Started From The Bottom is a hip-hop song

Written by Aubrey Drake Graham, Noah Shebib and Michael Coleman

Performed by Drake

The song narrates about the struggles of life growing up in a poor background. It also

states the success that comes by despite the tough challenges if you keep the right friends. This

encourages me by giving me hope that even in my current state, as long as I work hard and keep

the right company of friends, we can all uplift each other to build a great future to a point that

people cannot believe the poor background or the struggles faced in the past.
