This song shows just how sad the music world has become in recent days. Of all the chords in all of the music world, why is it that people are not creative enough to use anything but these 4 and in this exact arrangement as well. If you look down Music History Lane, music was so sophisticated back in the day. Composers actually took classes for a large part of their life before writing anything noteworthy because they knew all the other stuff wasn't good enough. They studied under the great masters of that time and devoted their life to creating great music not to becoming famous on something done halfway.
Of course, the goal nowadays is different from back then but it shouldn't change the quality of the music to be something this ridiculous. I once heard that a certain modern day pop composer started the process of composing his new songs by playing a "a" major chord and went from there. How repetitive the songs must sound if they all start with "a". In this day and age, everyone thinks they can compose and everyone thinks they can sing either with very little or no training at all. Sure, people say that the simpler it is the more the layman is able to understand it but why can't the layman become more educated. How does it make anyone feel accomplished if they understand something so simple and trivial and the other side of the world would be laughing at you?
Another thing is the text (words for a melody). For some reason, no one can write text for anything other than love. Love lost, love found, love is stupid, the guy is stupid, they girl is stupid, I'm so awesome she's not, I'm so awesome he's not...etc..etc...it's so boring. Music is the language of the soul. Why is it that people's souls nowadays are seemingly so retarded...they have nothing sincere to express. All that is left in the connection of the head to the heart is these repetitive chord arrangements and crappy texts. As the songs says, "that's all it takes to be a star". How pitiful.
