I've started paying attention to music more in recent years, and I am shocked how much of it is about or related in some way, to sex. Like it all music made to have sex to? Like is this part of focus group work for songs??
First time I understood what the song "Kiwi" from Maroon 5 was about was when I had oral sex for the first time..
The target audience for pop is mostly teens. If you would make a brilliant song about the environment or racism the group you would reach is cut so much that you already won't stick out in the crowd.
Unless your marketing team is A+, and even then they will advise more marketable lyrics.
