In the song Lucky Me by Chris Brown, he speaks of the fun and luck of being a star. Currently people take things for granted, being famous and having things they could only wish for. this song reflects the ideology of music/stardom society. this song is telling its audience to be glad with what you have but also its okay to mourn about the hardships that everyday life throws at you. As a star, you have to live up to the crowds expectations and make it your own and be happy with that. But that idoelogy doesnt apply in this song because its purpose is to show that "happiness" isnt all its made to be. American society says that the life of being a star is the "American Dream." But Chris says that his life doesnt apply to this and it is hard to balance it with happiness and I agree.
The song stars off talking about the beginning of coming on stage and performing. Then it continues talking about the bonuses that come with being a star like "females and fly jets." But as the song progresses Chris says that when you have everything that money can buy you are lucky and you should act like it according to what others would expect from you as oppossed to what you feel. I agree with him when he sings about having everything he could ever want because he was famous. "If it was only that simple, then would i say its easy to do and you know thats not true." But you cant have everything. It is impossible. Yet society insists you can have it all and be happy. Chris proves this. "You dont even know how hard it is do you?
