While we may not admit wholeheartedly, truth is, each one of us finds a specific part of the body attractive. Although for many, it's the eyes that stand out as most attractive part of the human body, ultimately, it's a personal choice. Indeed, beauty does lie in the eyes of the beholder. Singers and songwriters from different genres have creatively expressed their views about body parts. While certain songs about body parts convey the literal meaning, majority of songs that mention parts of the body in their title or lyrics are used as a metaphor to represent a wide-range of emotions.

Message Conveyed With Parts of the Body in Songs

Songs that mention parts of the body in their title may convey a diverse meaning of a concept or idea. Varying degrees of passion and affection are showcased figuratively with different parts of the body. Certain musicians describe the exhilarating feeling during a physical relationship with their lover. The romantic moments that ignite with a touch or warm breath on the lips is passionately conveyed in lyrics of certain songs. In certain songs, a double entendre is used to convey two interpretations, with the double meaning intended to be socially awkward.

A plethora of intense emotions are often expressed with body parts such as hair, skin, eyes, lips, nose, mouth, chin, ears, neck, chest, back, arms, hands, fingers, hips, waist, abs, ankles, and legs. The attraction towards certain parts of the body is earnestly portrayed through thoughtful lyrics in some love songs. Musicians may also mention body parts to describe the feelings of unrequited love in a brutally sinister way.
