Would you classify Shallow as a pop, rock, country or folk song? For me it has elements from all these genres. The first two verses have folk accents because of the guitar, the bridge ''Aahh'' is a ''pop'' earworm (also, everything released by pop stars gets labeled as pop by default), but primarily I'd say this song is a rock power ballad (because of how raw and unpolished the instrumental is, the live recording, the vocals). However wikipedia lists it as country rock.
