I realized probably when I was, like, 20 years old that the hardest thing to do is to write a pop song - not, like, a candy-pop, throwaway pop song.

Mark Foster

When I became a 'rock musician,' I assumed pop music was easy to write and that interesting rock music, or alternative music, was hard. It was only later I realised that writing a pop song is the hardest thing musically.

Kevin Parker

The hardest thing, and the most difficult thing, is to do the most simple thing. Because that means that you've had to weed out every other option. I kind of feel like that about a good pop song, too. When it's right, it's perfect, you know?

Dr. Luke

The supporting thing can be harder to pop in and out of. The hardest thing is the people who have to come in and play, say, the bartender for a day - that's a lot harder than playing the lead role. You have to pop in and get it right. It's a lot of pressure to just pop in there and fit in and find your footing really fast.

Paul Giamatti

I don't try to approach things any differently, songwriting-wise, regardless of what I'm doing. I try to write whatever the best thing is that I'm doing that day. If I'm working on a pop song, I'm working on a pop song to the best of my ability. If I'm working on a bluegrass song, it's the same thing. They're not really different parts of the brain.

Chris Stapleton

You have to learn how to act a pop song. You have to find the balance of the pop from the pop song and the lyrical significance of the scene you are in.

Aaron Lazar

As a songwriter, simplicity - what not to do, what not to play - can be the hardest thing to achieve.

Nancy Wilson

'Time after Time' is one of the best pop songs ever written, in my opinion. It's an incredible, beautiful, timeless song.

Sarah McLachlan

I think pop music was going through a phase where it was like pop but dance-hall or pop but R&B. But, no, I just want a pop song.

Jaboukie Young-White

I think one thing you could probably say for all my albums is that they're all pretty eclectic pop. There's always a little bit of urban influence, some dance, a little bit of country, singer-songwriter, pop-rock. I like everything! On every album you can find that.

Kelly Clarkson

Pop is like a puzzle: to write a perfect pop song, you never know, and there's so much that can happen in a second with a song.

The easiest way I can describe what makes a pop song a pop song is that it's a song you want to hear over and over.

Jack Antonoff

Anyone can sit down and write some boring artistic song. Pop music is the hardest [stuff] to write.

Britney Spears

For me, pop melodies are their own thing that have their own emotion, but they don't necessarily belong exclusively in a pop song.

Kevin Parker

When pop culture can influence things in any way, when a song becomes something bigger than just a song, that's the greatest thing to me.

Max Martin

The hardest thing about being in this business is just being able to be yourself. People act like there's this one set of rules to follow to be a pop star and I think, 'Well, you say I'm a pop star, so maybe that's not true.'

Kelly Clarkson
