Won’t Give Up by Jason Mraz. Her determination is heavily described: “Well, I won’t give up on us, even if the skies get rough, I’m giving you all my love, I’m still looking up” (Mraz song lyrics). When the lyrics describe that the person won’t give up on us, Aggie is not giving up on the family. The skies in the lyrics describe the searching and determination for the girls.

Generally, foul language has rapidly increased within modern popular song lyrics, especially among rap and heavy metal artists' songs.
