The Worst Songs of 2024


2024's worst songs included stinkers by Katy Perry, Ice Spice, Ye, Jojo Siwa, Nicki Minaj, Julia Fox, Camila Cabello & Playboi Carter and Ben Shapiro.

It’s fun imagining the recording session in which the rapper was dragged into the studio in his pajamas, did some murmuring without ever being woken up, and sleepwalked back to the limo even as the producers said, “Sure, we can do something with that.” At least there’s no trouble translating Camila’s part, which consists almost entirely of repeating the title phrase. Even the message of the song — “Let’s make tonight the weekend, I don’t want to wait, got no reason not to celebrate,” sings Ryan Tedder — feels like an overt bid to impact Bar Mitzvah playlists, or at least a radio DJ’s Friday night mix. The rise-and-fall story of Florida Georgia Line reaches its natural end here, as half of the defunct superstar country-pop duo releases a solo single taking a thinly veiled shot at his former partner … and it gets so little notice, it’s like a tree in the forest that no one is around to hear fall.
