conversations.value: Write me a song called Popular Song with the following description: This song is about bullied, unpopular students eventually becoming a successful and making a “popular” song while the bullies are stuck at dead end jobs. The final message of the song is that popularity is ultimately not riches but being yourself.
  Ariana Grande was featured on this track, which was then added to Ariana’s album, Yours Truly. The original version of this song was featured on Mika’s album in 2012. Grande’s part was originally done by singer Priscilla Renea, who helped pen the original. Mika and Grande were connected via his label. He hadn’t heard of her previously (at that point, she was a relative unknown in the music world, and more closely associated with her character on Nickelodeon’s Sam & Cat).
  Mika wrote this song after seeing the Broadway musical Wicked—this is his version of the song “Popular,” sung by Glinda the Good Witch. He told Huffington Post:
  I went to see “Wicked” and I thought, ‘Glinda’s actually being mean.’ So I thought it would be nice to take the song and write my own version of it because I don’t like what she was saying in that part of the show.
  Mika invited Wicked composer Steven Schwartz over to his house in London to listen to the song, and he instantly loved it.
  This song became an anti-bullying anthem, which Mika intended. As a kid who was bullied growing up, this song’s message was very personal for him. He told Windy City Times:
  That is what it’s about but it is more than that. Part of it is about bullying but it also about the music industry. We strive to hard to create something but we are still that same thing that we started off as. It definitely has some of my favorite lyrics on the whole album. ‘Standing on the field with your pretty pom poms now you are working at the movies selling popular corn.’ Make sure the lyrics are different from the original song.

  You were the popular one, the popular chick
  It is what it is, now I'm popular-ish
  Standin' on the field with your pretty pompom
  Now you're workin' at the movies sellin' popular corn
  I coulda been a mess, but I never went wrong
  'Cause I'm puttin' down my story in a popular song
   (La-la, la-la)
  Ah-ah, I said I'm puttin' down my story 
  in a popular
   song
  [Pre-Chorus: MIKA & Ariana Grande]
  My problem, I never was a model
  I never was a scholar, but you were always popular
  You were singin' all the songs I don't know
  Now you're in the front row 'cause my song is popular
  [Chorus: MIKA & 
  Both

  Popular
  , I know about popular
  It's not about 
  who you are or your fancy car
  You're only ever who you were
  Popular

  And all that you

  Always on the lookout for someone to hate
  Pickin' on me like a dinner plate
  You hid during classes and in-between 'em
  Dunk me in the toilets, now it's you that cleans them
  You tried to make me feel bad with the things you do
  It ain't so funny when the joke's on you
  Ooh
  , the joke's on you
  Got everyone laughin', 
  got everyone clappin', askin'
  How come you look so cool?
  'Cause that's the only thing that I learned at school
  , boy
  Uh-huh, I said
   
  that's the only thing that I learned at school
  [Pre-Chorus: MIKA & Ariana Grande]
  My problem, I never was a model
