It used to be a few artists at a time
Now, even the veterans wait in line
Pre-mature release of these albums online
Making it hard for real entertainers to shine
If you manage to defeat all these odds against you
Keep doing your thing 'cause I'm not mad at you
Just trying to figure out where I fit into
All of this now, or if I do
Should I go?
Should I stay?
I'm in control either way

Hmmmmm I don't entirely buy it to be honest, there are many artists "of other eras" who still sell albums and sell out stadium tours (often with numbers that your average trending-on-spotify single could never). I think the difference is that they have to be good, have a unique sound, or something unique to say. Cheryl was never any of those things and only sold music because she had "celebrity", which is fleeting. I guess that's a tough thing to have to swallow.
