The lyrics were inspired by Bono's experience with Jubilee 2000, a benefit urging politicians to drop the Third World Debt. This is about a man who loses his material things and feels better because he realizes the value of what he has.

Beautiful Girls
Sean Kingston
This song, which is based around the bass-line riff from Ben E King's "Stand By Me," was written by the then 16-year-old Sean Kingston in a couple of hours. The lyrics describe the feelings of a teenage boy when he's dumped by his girlfriend. The lyrics caused some controversy because of the repetitive use of the word "suicide" in the chorus. As a consequence, some radio stations removed it from their play lists, while others played a censored version, which replaced the word "suicidal" with "in denial."
