There are two types of songs. They are those that explicitly talk about it. Then there are those that seem innocent but are far from it.

With the current sea of X-rated music on our screens, some pop musicians have become creative. They have devised new hidden ways of singing about sex in order to reach more fans.

We end up singing along to these naughty jams with tiny tots, without a single clue of the dirt behind them. We even sang them innocently when we were kids. That’s because they use clever euphemisms to discuss beneath-the-sheets affairs.

Unlike most dirty songs, they don’t explicitly mention private parts. Or even the word sex.

It is super easy to be fooled.

Here are 7 pop songs you probably didn’t know are secretly super dirty.

In the words of Childish Gambino, stay woke!
