The Kidz Bop cover is implied to take place at a school social event and not involve any alcohol. "Sing" by Ed Sheeran was originally about a guy who met a girl at a bar after getting drunk and consuming copious amounts of tobacco.The Kidz Bop version is about missing a friend whos far away. Wiz Khalifas "See You Again" originally was about someone missing a dead friend and "seeing them again" in heaven after the singer himself passes away (as it was about the late Paul Walker).

"Starving" went from a mature relationship song about about a new, amazing feeling after having sex with a boy to being about puppy love/ looking at a boy."Hotline Bling" went from being about a booty call to a long distance relationship.Kidz Bop's version is an innocent teenage love song. The original "Love Me Like You Do" is a song about Ana and Christian's erotic relationship from Fifty Shades of Grey sung from the formers point of view.DNCE's "Cake by the Ocean", in the original version, uses cake as a metaphor for sex on the beach and cunnilingus, whereas the Kidz Bop version is about eating literal cake.Especially any songs that are centered around drug use or drinking. The Cover Changes the Meaning: Many of the bowdlerized versions of the songs have their meaning changed pretty drastically.Child Popstar: They're a group of kids singing kid-friendly versions of today's pop hits.Becky G briefly sung for Kidz Bop in 2010.Zendaya appeared in the music video for their cover of " Hot N' Cold", though she didn't sing in said cover.Sean Kingston appeared on 14 to sing "Take You There" with the Kidz Bop Kids.That said, earlier albums were more lenient with censorship, only changing lyrics when the song had explicit language.On 24, "Can't Hold Us" changes "fight 'till it's over" to "dance 'till it's over", even though the reference is metaphorical, but on 25, "Brave"'s reference to a weapon which was not metaphorical was kept in, along with "Bad Blood" and "Fight Song"'s titles and some of the references, like "Did you have to hurt me?" and "The wrecking balls inside my brain", both from 30. In "Jealous" from 28, "protective or possessive" was changed to "possessive or obsessive", but "call me obsessed" was changed to "call me a mess". Even lyrics of more innocent forms of love are edited in more than a few situations.
