Emotional
Architecture: Emotional architecture, starts of her "talking" and then jumps into a more up beat and catchy chorus, which creates a happy mood for the listener

What makes this song
bad is the fact that the vocals sound like they are being sung through the nasal,
which creates this annoying voice to hear. The chorus may be catchy and repetitive
but the way the song is built makes this song a bad song but yet a song that
many people “like.”

Structure/ Organization: Verse, chorus, verse, chorus, bridge, chorus
Emotional Architecture: Starts off with the singer saying the title of the song, does into the first verse and into the chorus after. The verses sound as if they are being spoken rather than sung which creates this build up to the chorus and the bridge where the lyrics are then sung.

What makes this song really bad is the way it is repetitive throughout the song. The beat of the song is annoying. Maybe its the fact that is has been over played when it was popular but the song is structured poorly. Maybe if the singer used different instruments to create the beat, then it would have been a better song.

Emotional Architecture: Starts off with the singer talking "introducing himself," and the beat is introduced as he is talking. The whole song sounds as if he is talking, especially during the verses.

Overall I think the only reason this song was so popular was because of the dance and how everyone wanted to dance it. The lyrics to the song is horrible and reparative. The only reason this song will be "alight" to hear is because of the finger snapping in the beat, which makes people want to snap along and creates a catchy beat.
