I recently came across Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter and it sounds like the old pop that I like.

How has nobody mentioned Girls Just Wanna Have Fun yet? That bubbly energy is a great pick-me-up whenever you need it most.
I didn't even grow up in that era and I miss when pop had that distinctly disco-ish, kinda new-wavy flair to it tbh. Stuff like that, or "Ring My Bell", or the like.

True by Spandau Ballet
senorita. I can feel the lyrics even it's sung by a female. "I love it when you call me senorita, every touch is oh-lala"
I don't really think of songs as girl songs or boy songs. That being said, I guess La vie en rose by Edith Piaf, I guess? Nothing secret about it, though.
Also, no secret in me liking I want it that way. Never told anyone, but that's because nobody ever asked me.

Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.
Yeah I saw that YouTube short too dude. But nobody cares about writers

Wrong Impression - Natalie Imbruglia
Two Become One - Spice Girls
C'est La Vie - B*Witched
Ain't No Mountain High Enough - Diana Ross
As a huge swiftie, there are a lot of songs to pick from.
it's more interesting to me you think Britney Spears wasn't marketed towards men.

Pretty much anything by Birthday Massacre.
Going back a few years I loved 90s Mariah Carey and Jewel. Fiona Appleβs debut album was instrumental in my life. Nowadays, I am not a super fan or anything but I enjoy and have very high opinions of T Swift, Gaga, BeyoncΓ© and many other.
My daughter recently introduced me to Chappell Roan and damn sheβs amazing.
I don't know of any particular song but I like a lot of female pop artists that as a guy I am not supposed to like. I like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and all the rest of them as well as genie in a bottle by Christina Aguilera and some Britney Spears. Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck what other people think about me. If you don't like me, then it's probably best that we not talk with each other anyway.
"That as a guy I am not supposed to like."
Right in the feels, man.
It's not a secret. I am a cishet male 90s girl. I love Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos and to a lesser extent the Indigo Girls, Jewel, Dido (though she came a little later).
You're a what?
cisgendered heterosexual
Oh, one of those modern things
"Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyonce. Does it qualify?
Take me Home by Jess Glynn
Jolene - Dolly Parton
Straight banger
Go ahead and just shoot me now..
E.T. - Katy Perry
Oh, I got one worse. I actually liked "Dark Horse".
My friend in Katy! Such a banger.
Not a fan of the Kanye version though.
This is a very good one.
A few Lana Del Rey songs but I can't listen to her anymore because she supports Israel.

Countdown by Beyonce... It's super catchy and puts a big smile on my face!
Call Me Maybe, such a banger
Pretty much anything by Marina and the Diamonds. Specifically Pimadonna Girl, though.
Have you heard her cover of Made Up Mind by the Bros. Landreth? SO fucking good!
Just listened to it and god she is amazing. Great recommendation!

My wife got me into Rihanna, and Lana Del Ray.
Songs by Pink! They normally got a good drive to them and sound great!
