And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. “The Last Song” featured Miley Cyrus’s 2010 ballad, tying together her music and film roles. A seamless melding, if you will.
2. Justin Bieber revealed his “Believe” lead single on *The Ellen DeGeneres Show*. Choosing the stage of casual day-time banter for a grand debut.
3. “Globalization” is where Pitbull’s track with G.R.L. enjoyed its lead single glory. An album title befitting Mr. Worldwide.
4. Yoann Lemoine directed the said video. Lana Del Rey’s cinematic vision translated into the artistry of moving images.
5. Kygo’s EP “Stargazing” hosts his Selena Gomez collaboration, though perhaps not amongst celestial bodies. Yet.
6. Lauv and Troye Sivan’s track was nominated for the Melon Music Awards’ Best Pop Award. Not a vegetable accolade but notable nonetheless.
7. “Hold Up” has the distinction of integrating various tunes and came as “Lemonade”‘s third single. An auditory cocktail by Queen Bey.
8. Nelly and Rowland’s music video took to Colonial Street. A non-tropical choice that found hits in cobblestones over sands.
9. Stargate produced Jennifer Lopez’s 2011 track with Lil Wayne. A Norwegian duo behind the American rhythm. Cross-cultural collaboration in full harmony.
10. Trey Songz graces the Troy Taylor radio edit of “Yesterday”. The duet version is quite the contemporary romantic percussion.
11. Bruno Mars belts out the chorus in “Nothin’ on You”. Spinning words into melodies while B.o.B provides lyrical context.
12. Exclusive voice memos were a feature of Shawn Mendes’s Deluxe edition. A souvenir for those partial to offbeat insights.
