This is about a person who gets everybody's attention probably because of how awesome he or she is. Despite her great magnitude of awesomeness, the guy caught her attention. He probably wrote this song in honor of that. Also, this could be a salute to all the amazing people out there (like Rihanna in the song)!

I would like to interpret a beautiful song called "One Call Away" by Charlie Puth today.
[Chorus] I'm only one call away I'll be there to save the day Superman, got nothing on me I'm only one call away
When we need people, we expect latency from them (Yes, even from Superman!). Charlie Puth is saying here that he is nothing like that, as he will always be there more than Superman can.
He is asking her to be courageous. He can see that this girl has problems and he wants to set her free. He simply wants to see her smile, which means that he only has good intentions for her.
Today, I would like to interpret to you "Selfish Girls" by Jake Miller.
Haha, that rang, that rang, that rang...
[Intro] I was gonna write you a love song just the other day So I sat down and thought real hard but nothing ever came I took a walk downtown and it hit me like a train So I grabbed a napkin and started scribbling away
(Referring to "Haha, that rang, that rang, that rang...") After you've heard the whole song, you'll figure out that this it is essentially the voicemail greeting of Jake Miller (Refer to the line later: And if you wonder why your phone ain't ringing. Call my voicemail, and I'mma start singing).
[Pre-Hook] And I was like woah-oh, woah-oh Sexy can't make up for crazy, no-oh, no-oh And girl, you crazy as shit
On this Pre-Hook, Jake Miller is simply saying that he and his girl are not compatible, after all (Refer to the line "Sexy can't make up for crazy...And girl, you crazy as shit).
[Hook] This song's for selfish girls They want the whole wide world They just want everything (We just want everything) And they cry when the sky ain't blue This song's for selfish girls They want the whole wide world I give them everything And there ain't nothing I can do
This is sort of a breakup message to his girlfriend once she calls Jake (Refer to the line: And if you wonder why your phone ain't ringing). He is stating his reason for breaking up with her which is that she is too selfish for him.
[Verse 1] Look, she walked into my life, all innocent and shit And then she took my credit card and dipped Gave me a kiss, then turned around and stole the keys to my whip Aw man, what a selfish bitch She was like, "See ya, I wouldn't wanna be ya" Kidnapped my Visa then she hit the galleria Let's have a moment of silence for what I say next R.I.P to all my paychecks Supermodel but the inside's ugly Yeah, and I'm over it like a fraction She loved herself way more than she loved me Only cared about her Instagram captions So this the last song I'm ever gonna write for ya Go find a douchebag, maybe he'll be right for ya And if you wonder why your phone ain't ringing Call my voicemail, and I'mma start singing
He was captivated by his girl because he thought she was everything he was looking for. He then realized that she didn't care for him emotionally plus despite her beautiful appearance, she has an ugly attitude.
[Bridge] La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la, la, yeah La, la, la, la, la, la, la La, la, la Look, I thought you were a dime but you loved me for my dimes Selfish girls will be the death of me, this happens every time I thought you were a dime but you loved me for my dimes Selfish girls will be the death of me, this happens every time
A "dime" means being a perfect ten in terms of hotness (everything you are looking for in a person). Then, he says that she is only interested in his money.

This is perfect feminism. People may frown about her dreaming of ruling the world, but she doesn't care. Even the American Dream which involves working from 9 to 5, having picket fences, and trophy relationships won't hold her back.
Again, she is on the look out for anyone trying to control her and pull her down. On the last two lines, she emphasizes her feminism and being in charge.

Today, I would like to interpret a song from one of my favorite bands (5 Seconds of Summer): She's Kinda Hot, if you don't mind (using, again, genius.com).
The first line suggests that his girlfriend is always mad at him for being "lazy." The next one points out his girlfriend's bad attitude. He then still concludes that his girlfriend is hot anyway so it's okay (all's good).
The next lines are kind of the same as the previous lines; his girlfriend who also happens to be a shrink thinks that he has unrealistic expectations, and a low self-esteem. He again concludes that everything's okay because she's kind of hot. The last few lines shows that instead of working with his problems, his girlfriend chose the easy way out of giving him medications instead; still, he is contented because of her hotness.
This whole verse is pretty straightforward: Luke's friend left college because it was not right for him. His parents frowned upon it; regardless, he is optimistic about this friend's fate.
Other people think that the people of this band are losers. However, they are okay with this as they are famous and supported by their fans, anyway.
"We are the leaders of the not coming backs" and "We are the kings and the queens of the new broken scene" are the same: They are part of the youth who inherits this world from their parents no matter what (even if they won't come back to being normal and regarded as losers, respectively).
I'm not only blogging about this because it is nerdy. Aside from that, it portrays humanity. Today, I would like to share with you my interpretation of the song New Romantics by Taylor Swift through genius.com.
On the first line, Taylor Swift both mocks and recognizes the young adult's sense of being bored of almost everything because of how much they expect in life (hello, fellow Millennials!). On the next one, she recognizes the existence of failures and disappointment. For her, it is part of being the "New Romantics." Then, regarding the scarlet letters, she talks about the characteristic of young adults competing on whose scarlet letter is better.
Regarding the "We're so young, but we're on the road to ruin," it refers to how the other generation seem to expect this generation (the Millennials) to fail because of their traits like high expectations, self-confidence, and the like (you can read all about them on Wikipedia (Millennials)).
About the "We play dumb but we know exactly what we're doing," it refers to how girls think that they have to play dumb in order to be in a relationship which is an underlying tactic that is actually smart.
On the "We cry tears of mascara in the bathroom," Taylor Swift recognizes the truth that women sometimes cry for their boyfriends or partners.
Lastly, on "Honey, life is just a classroom," it is pretty straightforward: life is actually just a classroom where we learn stuff, we get bullied, smart people are revered, as well as rich and good-looking people, and the like.
On "Cause baby I could build a castle, out of all the bricks they threw at me," Taylor Swift shows off her ability to make something better and royal out of mean things like "bricks." Also, the word "bricks" rhymes with "castle," which is cool!
On the next line, she recognizes the hardship of life. Despite that, people like her (who are famous and successful) are envied by their peers, so it's all worth it.
On the, "Baby, we're the New Romantics" line, it is explained that Romanticism is an old idea you can learn from school. Young adults experience this romanticism but they always think that it is not that old romanticism taught in school. They think they are the "new" romantics.
On the "Come on, come along with me. Heartbreak is the national anthem. We sing it proudly. We're too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Baby we're the new romantics," it is clear that Millennials seem to not have the ability to make relationships lasts. It maybe because they are busy chasing fun ("We're too busy to get knocked off our feet").
On the last line, it is a play on the saying that "the best things in life are free." That saying is about money. Here, Taylor Swift thinks that the perspective of Millennials that they are the best generation ever is true.
Also, she recognizes that the best people in your life like friends and family doesn't have a price.
The first line sets the atmosphere of partying where people get drunk and feel alive at the same time. The "We hang back it's in the timing" line expresses that there is a sweet spot in life: it is all in the timing. You have to get hold of this moment to be successful.
About the "It's poker, you can't see it in my face," Taylor sings that love is like poker! Stuff that happen in love is not always obvious all the time.
This line, "We need love but all we want is danger," it is expressed that sometimes, we seek danger in our life.
While on, "We team up then switch sides like a record changer," Taylor says that in life nothing is stable.
Lastly, on "The rumors are terrible and cruel but honey most of them are true," instead of being ashamed of all the "terrible rumors," Taylor Swift learned to accept them.
This whole "breakdown," shows that most people don't really know how to fall in love. Few people actually understand the science of love (wizard of love where are you?)
