TA Blog: Ain’t it Fun, Now You Are One of Us



By Nara Han

For those who have interest in western pop songs, you have probably heard of the song ‘I’m Into You’ by pop punk band Paramore. Here is another awesome song named ‘Ain’t It Fun’. This song was released last year (2013) and the cheerful music video was released at the end of January 2014. In the music video, the three members put their best effort to break the world records. Not just the song will give you energy, but the video is fun too. F.Y.I. (For your information) they broke 10 world records in the video!
The best part of the song is the lyrics. This three-minute song will make you think. ‘Ain’t It Fun’ is telling you to be independent. The vocal sings, ‘Ain’t it fun living in the real world, ain’t it good being all alone’. Unlike the melody, the lyrics are quite harsh. However, this song is very realistic. The band is talking about the attitude we need to have towards our lives.
Sometimes being alone is difficult. Not crying to your mama is difficult. However, remember that you are over 20 years old and by this time, you should be ready to be independent. The song is not telling you to be completely alone right now. You do not have to do everything that the song indicated, but be prepared and try to stand on your own. It will make you grow as a person. Keep listening to this catchy and cheerful song and sing along ‘Ain’t it fun’! Cast a spell on yourself to be on your own in the real world.

Here is the Ain’t it fun lyrics.
