16 Songs People Loved Until The Chorus Ruined It

"It could've had a soaring pop chorus but dropped out to a whisper for hip-hop cred. Major disappointment."

"The song has perfect verses, and in the pre-chorus you can actually feel her emotions. You can truly feel that she’s scared, and then the chorus hits and it’s this overproduced bass drop that just ruins the rawness of the whole song. It would’ve been a 10/10 song if only it weren’t for the chorus. But even with everything, it’s still my favorite from that album."

"I love the lines before the chorus — 'Dream a little dream of me, make me into something sweet, turn the radio on, dancing to a pop song' — SO much! But I'm not a big fan of the tune of the chorus, and I just hate the way she actually says, 'Fuck it, I love you.' It's like the stereotypical way people mock ~indie singer voices~, except that's actually how she's singing!!! I love her so much, though, and the rest of the song is great."

"It just seems to be so lackluster."

—Roseenticknap

"The verses are really deep, and the melody is reflective, and then the chorus is just a mess."

—JillB

"The first time I listened to it, I was going to add it to my favorites, but then she started with the whole 'mmm mm mm' thing."

"That Meghan Trainor song where the chorus is like, 'If I were you, I'd wanna be me too' sounds really annoying, which is a shame because her singing during the verses is nice enough."

"'Just like animals-mals'...awful."

—bisquicKim

"The verses are amazing. Chorus is lame. :/"

—natasham47fc825d6

"I love the verses. They're so catchy and singable. But they could have done so much better for the chorus than those weird lyrics about her being a queen."

—wednesdayag

"It has a cool vintage pop feel, and the verses show her unique voice, and then the chorus pretty much ruins the song."

—riaXisaac

"The verses are so amazing and catchy, but the chorus is not as exciting or unique."

—mackenziesteele

"Both verses are really well written and meaningful, and the chorus just distracts from the otherwise well-thought-out lyrics of the song."

—icegirl2022

"The first verse is so much better than the rest of the song."

—johope

"The song is so powerful, but the chorus just felt off for me. The melody, lyrics, and obviously her voice work so well until she starts screaming 'WHATTTTTT NOWWWWWW'! For the longest time, I'd play the beginning and skip when the chorus started."

—shirleyf4be23537e

"The chorus is in a different key than the rest of the song, and it changes the whole mood! The verses are so edgy and moody, and then the chorus is upbeat and takes away from that!"

—jliz0801

"I’m not a big pop fan, but the song is actually really good and catchy until he starts singing the chorus: 'You got that yummy yum yummy yum.' Justin, stop!"
