15 Popular Songs That Actually Have Super Toxic Messages In Them
These songs are super popular and are so good to listen to, but their lyrics have sent some really toxic messages. This might not be intentional, but, nevertheless, here they are.
1."Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber
Columbia Records / Via tenor.com
The whole premise of the song sounds like one person is emotionally blackmailing the other to stay in a toxic relationship.
2."Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne
Just because she doesn't like his girlfriend, he should break up?
3."The Weekend" by SZA
RCA Records / Via tenor.com
A woman sleeping with a man who has a girlfriend and blaming the girlfriend because she can't satisfy her man? Hm, I would call that toxic.
4."Unfaithful" by Rihanna
"I might as well take a gun and put to his head / Get it over with" goes the lyrics. That almost sounds like murder!
5."Fine China" by Juice Wrld
Epic Records / Via tenor.com
I am just gonna say that the lyrics of the song goes like this, "So if she leaves, Imma kill her, or she'll die."
6."Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo
TBH, most of the songs in the album Sour have some really toxic messages.

Wishing bad things happen to someone — even if it is your ex — is not a healthy tendency.
8."Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People
Columbia Records / Via tenor.com
Even the creators have considered retiring this song because of the allegation that the song is glorifying gun violence.

While I love the song, "Thinking you could live without me" gives me toxic vibes.

Universal Records / Via tenor.com
The girl has moved on now, hasn't she? It doesn't matter even if you can treat her better.
11."Stay Stay Stay" by Taylor Swift
Throwing a phone at someone won't magically make them return to you.
12."Kiss With a Fist" by Florence and the Machine
Island Records / Via tenor.com
Does this one even need an explanation? The people in the song have been hit, kicked, punched and broken an arm. Domestic violence, much?

This song sounds like a pick me girl anthem.
14."Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem
This whole song has really toxic undertones.
