Like a Virgin by Madonna
Though it seems obvious to most that this song is the ode to a young woman losing her virginity, it’s not! In fact, it talks about how song writer Billy Steinberg felt vulnerable about getting into a new relationship. However, the lyrics are ambiguous enough that anyone can interpret them any way they choose.
Harder to Breathe by Maroon 5
The “Songs About Jane” album focused on Adam Levine’s ex-girlfriends. Therefore, it makes sense to think that Harder to Breathe was inspired by it. However, it came because of the pressure from the band’s recording company.
