YMMV / Sara Bareilles

• Alternate Character Interpretation:
  • Depending on how you interpret the lyrics, "Fairytale" is this for several of your big fairytale maidens.
  • "Once Upon Another Time" has been thought to either be about a rough Coming of Age Story or a intentional car crash that didn't work.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: "I Choose You" got a significant amount of radio airplay in 2014-15 and went gold. It also sounds like exactly the sort of Silly Love Song that she wrote "Love Song" as a Take That! against.
• Memetic Mutation: "I'm not gonna Raichu a love song..."
  • "Gravity" is often used over characters who love each other, but are too afraid to admit it. So much so that Community used it after a video of Jeff and Annie became popular.
• Signature Song: "Love Song", though people also associate her with "King of Anything", "Gravity", and "Brave".
• Sleeper Hit: "Brave" became one after critics accused Katy Perry of copying the song for her single "Roar".
