20 Pop Stars Who Want To Steal Your Boyfriend

Avril, Robyn, Whitney and even Carly Rae have designs on your man.

1. Avril Lavigne

This may be the most flagrant boyfriend-stealing song ever, if just because Lavigne comes off as both extremely aggressive and utterly devoid of empathy.

6. Whitney Houston

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ewxmv2tyeRs.

Whitney’s first major hit is sung from the perspective of a young woman having an affair with a married man. It’s pretty scandalous, but the sound is so classy that you hardly notice.

7. Taylor Swift

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=zudLJdajX5Y.

Taylor is too much of a sweetheart to do a song about someone actively trying to steal someone’s boyfriend, but she’s totally fine with singing about it from a passive, pining perspective.

8. Me’Shell NdegéOcello

Me’Shell’s hostility towards the woman in this song is so strong that it seems as though the dude she’s stealing is just a pawn in her psychosexual mind game.

9. MC Luscious

“If you got a boyfriend, you better hold on tight / And keep him in sight every single night / Cause when I go out, I look so fine / Cause I’m dressed to impress, and I’m one of a kind / I take him, shake him, work him on out, show your man what I’m all about.”

10. Aaliyah

A classic “other woman” scenario: “If your girl only knew that I would want to kick it with you / If your girl could only see how you be callin’ me, gettin’ fresh with me.”

11. Dixie Chicks

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=amo5r4DR7cI.

Another song in which the other woman demonizes the dude’s girlfriend. “She’s got you thinking you can never escape / don’t you know your heart’s in danger? / There’s a devil in that angel face.”

12. Salt N Pepa

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=1-dB8C2-bnk.

This one is pure girl-on-girl hostility: “I’ll take your man whenever I feel like it /
This ain’t a threat or a bet, it’s a damn promise / From me to you, your sex life’s through / If you get another lover, I’ll take him, too.”

13. Sugarland

Another “other woman” song, this time really guilt-stricken and emotionally fraught.

Another song in which boyfriend-stealing is a total power trip.

17. Dragonette

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=xMRX35D4dXs.

This song is totally cruel, to the point that you have to wonder whether it’s a satire or if the singer from Dragonette is an actual sociopath.

18. Lady Saw

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=0q9wBXVYnZg.

This one gets pretty abrasive: “Your man he told me that he’s tired of the shit you got / He took one hit and said my good shit keeps him coming back.”

19. Pussycat Dolls

Video available at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=YNSxNsr4wmA.

There is no subtlety whatsoever to the Pussycat Dolls’ method of seduction.

20. Avenue D

Avenue D is even less subtle than the Pussycat Dolls, but more funny.
