Mood-Lifting Music Playlist

Finals are over – it’s time to release your stress and get into the summer vibe! Here’s a playlist that you can incorporate into your summer activities for a good time.

Be Sweet – Japanese Breakfast

Ever since this song came out on Japanese Breakfast’s newest album Jubilee, I’ve been obsessed with it! It definitely gives me a sweet ’80s feel that never fails to cheer me up.

DARE – Gorillaz

This song always makes me want to party, so I think it would be great to play at a party – whether it’s with your friends or partying alone in your room (I’m an introvert, I don’t judge).

Nine in the Afternoon – Panic! At The Disco

If you were considered an emo kid like me, you probably already know this song, but let me remind you: I still think it’s so contagious and such a banger even after 14 years! This song always makes me smile.

Rock With You – Michael Jackson

This song is a CLASSIC! The King of Pop (R.I.P.) left us with many great songs and this is one of them you just have to jam to this summer.

Flicker – Rina Sawayama

With this song, I feel so confident and ready to take on the day! The instrumentals, uplifting lyrics, and Rina’s rich vocals make this song such a bop.

Valerie – Mark Ronson ft. Amy Winehouse

I love Amy Winehouse and this iconic version of Valerie (may she rest in peace). It’s impossible not to tap your feet, sing along, or dance to this song!!

Don’t Stop Me Now – Queen

Put this song on and I’ll feel unstoppable every time. It’s such a good classic from the legendary Freddie Mercury that will have you scream-singing along!

After The Storm – Kali Uchis ft. Tyler, The Creator, and Bootsy Collins

This is such a throwback to me and still so refreshing to listen to! Its groovy feel and empowering lyrics make it easy to think positively no matter what you’re going through.
