With kiss-off lyrics set to a swinging piano beat, the catchiest song of 2008, “Love Song,” isn’t as romantic as its title would suggest. Bareilles penned the hit single when her record label asked her to write a love song after scrapping an album’s worth of meatier work. Sarcasm sounds good from the 28-year-old singer-songwriter, who has garnered comparisons to Fiona Apple and Sarah McLachlan with her debut record, Little Voice.
