Born To Do - Steven Cooper (End Rhyme) 8. This Girl - Laza Morgan (End Rhyme) *This is the correct song, not Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade as mentioned at the end of the video. 9.

Girl On Fire - Alicia Keys (Hyperbole) 17. Grenade - Bruno Mars (Hyperbole) ***For the song On Top of The World by Imagine Dragons, I'm not sure what I thought the alliteration was lol. I'd suggest finding a different example. If you really want to try it, I guess you can say there is an alliteration of "b" and "d" in "somebody" and "better". This obviously wouldn't work if you don't pronounce "better" as "beh-duh". All rights belong to their respective artists.
