The artist known as The Weeknd hails from Canada.

He rose to prominence in the late 2010s and now ranks among the world’s leading artists, topping charts in countries around the globe.

His greatest appeal is, without a doubt, his musicality.

He’s won popularity with a contemporary sound that incorporates elements of 1980s disco and adult contemporary.

A prime example is his hit “Blinding Lights,” a masterpiece that lets you fully appreciate the musical style that defines him.

As their name suggests, the Jonas Brothers are a real-life trio of brothers who form a vocal group.

The title “Sucker” is spelled differently from the sport “soccer,” and here it means “someone who’s infatuated.” It’s a song about thinking of and being crazy about someone you love, but with lines like “Your presence is both a drug and a pain, etched into my brain like a tattoo,” it also hints that being too obsessed can be a little scary—a fervent, head-over-heels love song.

The lyrics mainly repeat the chorus phrases, making it easy to memorize—even for middle school students—which is a big recommendation point.
