Lady Gaga - Born this Way

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_This_Way_(song)

The lyrics discuss the self-empowerment of minorities including the LGBT community as well as racial minorities, referring to "cholas" and "orients". Critics positively reviewed the song, calling it a "club-ready anthem", though it faced criticism for having similarities with Madonna's 1989 single "Express Yourself"

Maybe also Madonna's "Express Yourself" too?

t.A.T.u - All the Things She Said

Both a Russian version and English version exists (I guess I've only listened to the English version)
The music video itself caused A LOT of problems in both the USA and Russia.

Although its original story was based on a dream Elena Kiper had at a dentist appointment, Shapovalov evoked the theme of lesbianism in both this and the English-language version, "All The Things She Said". Lyrically, it focuses on two girls developing feelings for each other.

poshspicelatteposhspicelatte    Jeu, 17/01/2019 - 06:30

The Russian version is super gay, and I think some of that is lost in translation. In Russian they sing about losing their minds because they need each other, not understanding who they are, feeling at fault, and they apologise to their parents. The original is a huge gay anthem

I think you're right; the change from "me" to "you" across the stanzas confused me; I had assumed they were all directed to the same person.
