FEBRUARY LOVE SONG #11

FO&O "My Girl"

Ironically enough, today's selection is also a boy band, although a modern one. I had no clue that this was the case when I first selected this song. FO&O, or the Fooo, or The Fooo Conspiracy, depending on where you look, is a boy band out of Sweden. The song itself is another basic song about a boy professing his love for a girl. He is imploring her to let him be the one, to call her his girl. One thing I really like about this song is the saxophone that comes out for the chorus. It adds a nice touch to the rest of the song in my opinion. Overall, this song is has some very upbeat tones, though it also is basically a song about longing for someone. Hope you'll enjoy it!

Backstreet Boys "As Long As You Love Me"

It should come as no surprise that the age of the beloved boy bands produced a number of love songs. In the late 90s and early 2000s, both the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC had skyrocketing popularity. Whomever you preferred, I think it's safe to say that both bands stole the hearts of many teenage girls. "As Long As You Love Me" may be a great song or a corny song depending on how you want to look at it. As a simple explanation, this song is about professing your love to the woman you love. In particular with this song, the man is letting the woman know that he doesn't care about her past. The only thing he cares about are the feelings he has for her. According to my lyric database at Genius, the band said in an interview that this was a last minute addition to the album it appeared on. It was obviously a great one, as it became very popular. Whether you like boy bands or not, I hope you'll give this one a listen today.
