The music industry is one we’re all vested in, in some way, shape or form. Music has been around since time immemorial and is a part of every known culture. In other words, the enjoyment of pleasurable sounds is part of what makes us human. And by the looks of things, that reality is not going to change anytime soon.
Indeed, musicians are now more popular and influential than they’ve ever been. And that’s where Song Meanings + Facts comes in. Founded by music journalist and digital entrepreneur, Kojo Enoch, Song Meanings + Facts is a music site that has more substance than the others, as far as objectively interpreting songs go and a lot of times even as far as facts of songs are concerned.
Unlike most other sites which focus on the music industry, we do not promote our favorite artists or gush over popular musicians. Rather, we’re dedicated to analyzing featured songs as objectively as practically possible.
Doing so is not an easy task. In many instances, we may decide to analyze a song whose lyrics are so complicated that they are not being scrupulously touched upon elsewhere. And even with some of the more popular tracks, sometimes pertinent background information can prove non-existent. But at Song Meanings + Facts, we serve the fans, not the industry. Therefore, whatever song lands on our desk, we will make our best and most-honest effort to make sense out of it, as excruciating as that task can be.
As such, we also dedicate ample resources to lesser-known musicians. To us it’s all the same, as in small artists being granted the same amount of attention and research as the big ones.
OUR TEAM
These are just a handful of the amazing writers and contributors that make up the Song Meanings + Facts team:
Kojo Enoch
Kojo is the founder and primary editor of Song Meanings + Facts. As such, he conducts most of the interviews on the website. His favorite singer of all time is Phil Collins. The Smiths, on the other hand, happen to be his favorite band of all time.
In addition to being a writer, Kojo is also a digital entrepreneur, music journalist, amateur songwriter and music producer who currently has one album under his belt (: The said album, which goes by the title “The Definition of Sound” was self-released in 2010. By the way, it is currently available on all major music streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Tidal.
Eager to share his strong passion for music, Kojo created Song Meanings + Facts in 2017. Today, the website has gone on to become one of the most relevant music blogs out there.
For over a decade, Kojo has been very active in the music industry via writing on all things music. When Kojo is not working on music-related content, he loves to travel and see new places.
Malcolm Aaron
Malcolm is a writer and digital nomad who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York City. However, he currently calls the amazing West African country of Ghana home.
He actually has a B.A. in Anthropology from Hofstra University, which is also found in New York. But the professional road his life has taken has led him down the path of song analysis, a field that he has grown really passionate about due to the pertinence and ubiquity of the music industry.
So in addition to working on Song Meanings + Facts, he also occasionally dabbles in his own likeminded blog, Black Arts Review.
Sabrina Chitty

DISCLAIMER
This site consists of song analyses conducted by independent, non-industry writers. So it is very much possible that you, the reader, will come across assertions and theories that may conflict with your own understanding of a particular song. In such instances, we are not out to offend anyone. Our procedure is to do diligent research and most importantly rely on the explanation of a song as presented by its writer or performer. When such information is not available, then we have to make do as best we can.
That said, we encourage readers who may have issues with a particular post to leave (respectful) comments or email us at [email protected]. We all have musicians whom we’re passionate about, and it’s understandable that sometimes, certain analyses may rub you the wrong way. But again, our goal is to make the best sense out of these songs as possible. So all views, opinions and (verifiable) facts are welcome.
