On this exuberant rap ode to beer goggles – or, in this case, Belvedere goggles - three of the world's biggest MCs load up on vodka and propose marriage to honeys in the V.I.P. room.  Jay-Z coos sweet nothings ("I walk down this aisle faithfully, cut that cake for me") over a pumping, brass-bolstered beat, while Andre 3000 waxes poetic ("Lets put a baby butterfly up in your lil' cocoon"). As for Jeezy, he dispenses with the flowery stuff and gets to the point: "I'll do anything to leave here tonight with you,"he barks. "I said I do, I do, I do, I do, I do."

    “Youth Knows No Pain”

    Lykke Li | 2011

    “Like on 'Youth Knows No Pain' — we are the ones that should demonstrate, because we can take it,” Likke Li said. “We can pierce ourselves, take Ecstasy, dance all night and still go to work at our McDonald's jobs.” Despite the hedonistic sentiment in the song, the Swedish singer also admitted in hindsight her youth had repercussions. “I remember when I was 18-19 and feeling that I know it all,” Li said. “I always feel that I know it all. But that song is about realizing you don’t, and reflecting, ‘Boy, if I only knew what would follow.’”
