I don’t think a Japanese person could write this song.

It sounds like they’re thanking the person they broke up with, but they’re not at all—they’re casually throwing in words of resentment.

And yet there’s nothing messy about it, and in the end they thank God.

I think it’s interesting and a good song.

Beyoncé – Why Don’t You Love Me

This catchy, up-tempo track from Beyoncé.

Though she projects a cool image, you can’t help but feel the contrast and charm when she sings, with a hint of frustration, “Why won’t you love me?” Don’t miss the playful dancing in the music video, too!
