Gym Class Heroes feat. Ryan Tedder - The Fighter

One thing that has become more apparent to me is that (for me at least) when you generally don't actively criticise music and try and nail down why you feel a certain way about a song, you sometimes realise you don't know what you saw in certain songs. Obviously perceptions change and influence one's opinion on songs but this is an example of me wondering what I saw in this.

I don't know why I even liked it because there's nothing much of worth here. The so deep man lyrics that Travie spouts are pretty much as cliche as they come while that chorus is no good at all. Forget Ryan Tedder saving these types of things, he saves nothing. The chorus is pretty painful and the rest of the song is about on par with that. Aside from being a little catchy and surprisingly still being somewhat memorable to me 3 years on, there's not really any merit to be found here. Fits in perfectly in that era of slow hip-hop songs that have the massive pop ballad chorus (usually provided by a pop singer).
