When artists have much time making music, their tastes and opinions can change as they grow in the industry. For that reason, it is common that some regret their releases, and these are 6 famous singers who confessed which is their ‘most regrettable‘ song.
1. Ariana Grande – ‘Put Your Hearts Up‘ (2011): Despite this song marking her debut as a singer, in a conversation with Rolling Stone, she revealed she remembers it as the “worst moment of [her] life”.
2. Pink – ‘We’ve Got Scurvy‘ (2009): For the child series SpongeBob Squarepants, in 2023, while talking to LA Time, she expressed it was her “worst single” and “I wish I never did that. That was a real mistake”.
3. Ed Sheeran – ‘The Man‘ (2014): In an interview with GQ magazine from 2023, he said that he “probably needed to write” this song but he “didn’t need to release it”.
4. Drake – ‘Weston Road Flows‘ (2016): In the program ‘A Moody Conversation’ in 2023, the artist said that he began regretting this one after someone he mentioned in the song told him, “You know, it’s not necessarily what you’re saying about me. It’s the fact that you said it”.
5: Jay Z – ‘Big Pimpin‘ (2000): The rapper confessed to the Wall Street Journal that “Some [lyrics] become really profound when you see them in writing. Not ‘Big Pimpin.’ That’s the exception. It was like, ‘I can’t believe I said that. And kept saying it. What kind of animal would say this sort of thing?'”
6. Charli XCX – ‘Break the Rules‘ (2014): In conversation with Vulture magazine, she mentioned this song when she was asked about her most regret song and then said, “so easy to answer”.
