"Double Rainbow" is a love song that is worth listening to. The words say, "You're a one of a one kind / That you only find once in a lifetime / Made to fit like a fingerprint / A code that clicks open a gold mine." The song is about making a relationship last long-term with someone that you have everything in common with.

5 "Making The Most Of The Night" By Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen has been labeled a one-hit-wonder by some but that label simply does not fit with her. When she released "Making The Most Of The Night" in 2015 with the help of Sia, of course, fans were reminded of how fun Carly's music can really be.

The lyrics say, "Baby, I'm speeding and red lights, I'll run / What I got, you need it / And I'll run to your side when your heart is bleeding / I'm coming to getcha." The song is about being there for the one you are in love with.

The lyrics say, "I was scared to death I was losing my mind / I couldn't close my eyes I was pacing all night / I think I found the light out the end of the tunnel / I couldn't find the truth I was going under." The truth she is referring to in the song, about Cory's untimely passing was hard for her and just about everyone to stomach.

3 "Breathe" By Jessie J

2013 is the year Jessie J released the song "Breathe." Sia wrote the lyrics with a message of true love in mind. "Everything outside is grey and lonely / Spark electricity in our city, yeah / Let's light it up falling under pressure, I can feel the butterflies / Oh you blow smoke inside my mouth / You light me up." The song describes meeting the person who makes a boring life feel exciting for the first time.
