Spotify has named the most popular song of 2024: why its translation may surprise you

Spotify has named the most popular song of 2024

Streaming service Spotify has named the most popular song of 2024, which was most often listened to by platform users around the world. The audience's favorite song was "Birds of a Feather" by 23-year-old American singer Billie Eilish.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, this track appeared on the young singer's third album Hit Me Hard and Soft. In addition, the musical work took second place on the Billboard Hot 100 chart of the most popular songs in the United States and has been at the top of the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for 21 weeks.

It's worth noting that the track "Birds of a Feather" was loved not only by ordinary listeners but also by experts. The song was nominated for three Grammy Awards in the categories of Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

The melody of the hit song "Birds of a Feather" is quite light and even a little fun, but if you listen to the lyrics and look at the translation, the idea of the track changes dramatically. The composition reveals the theme of love to the point of death and unhealthy relationships, where one partner has too much emotional attachment to the other.

By the way, the title of the hit song contains an idiom that can help to better reveal its meaning. The phrase "birds of a feather" means that people who share many common characteristics, like birds of a feather, are attracted to each other and should always stay together.

"There are a lot of songs about dying for someone and loving them until they die. I thought it would be very interesting to try my hand at this," Billie Eilish's brother, music producer Finneas O'Connell, with whom the artist creates hits, said about the composition.
