Bruno Mars – Count on Me (Official Lyric Video)

The ideal form of friendship is one where we can reach out and help each other when we’re in trouble.

That’s exactly the kind of friendship Bruno Mars sings about in his song “Count On Me.” The phrase “Count on me,” which is the song’s title and appears repeatedly in the lyrics, means “You can rely on me.” It carries a gentle message: “Whenever you’re having a hard time, I’ll be there, and it’s okay to lean on me.” It’s a song you’ll want to share with friends even if you’re far apart.

Maroon 5 – Memories (Official Video)

Since the breakout success of their 2002 debut album Songs About Jane, Maroon 5 have led the scene for nearly two decades as a top band.

With solid musicianship and a flair for vibrant pop, they’ve continued to deliver a wide variety of hits, and their 2019 release Memories is strikingly simple in its construction.

Its melody, inspired by Pachelbel’s Canon, is a classic pop trope, which is precisely why Adam Levine’s restrained yet emotional vocals resonate so deeply.

The song is in fact dedicated to a childhood friend of the band and their former manager, who passed away in 2017.

Its universal lyrics are relatable to people of any gender or age.

Why not pour yourself a drink and let this song play in the background as you look back on a friendship that can no longer be reached?

The music video has a slightly mysterious vibe that feels both mature and strangely cute.

Some of you might have thought, “I’ve heard this somewhere before,” right? In fact, it samples the famous song My Favorite Things from the popular musical The Sound of Music.

Taylor Swift – 22

This is a song Taylor Swift wrote about a time when, even while being immersed in recording, she took advantage of a few unexpected days off to go out with her friends.

She says that, during that time, she was able to forget about work, live freely, enjoy the journey even without knowing exactly where she was headed, and truly feel like an ordinary 22-year-old.

The everyday moments of a 22-year-old woman—chatting and getting excited with friends, dressing up and going out—are cheerfully sung over an upbeat, bright track.

You Need To Calm DownTaylor Swift6rank/position

Taylor Swift – You Need To Calm Down

Taylor Swift expresses the honest feelings that women often find hard to say out loud—briskly and brilliantly—in the form of outstanding songs.

Having achieved massive commercial success at a young age, she’s also been subjected to a great deal of malicious criticism.

“You Need to Calm Down” is her way of gently admonishing people with different values to take it down a notch.

At the same time, the track offers an approach to issues like America’s polarization, and its music video—featuring many celebrities—lands a perfect punchline when Katy Perry, with whom Taylor was reported to have had a feud, appears at the end.

Through its euphoric melody and sound, the song teaches the importance of self-affirmation and understanding others, and it ultimately ties into themes of love and friendship.

It features an up-tempo pop-rock sound and a message that affirms being true to yourself.

The track was also used in the trailer for the film “Bridesmaids.” It’s a song that can lift your spirits and give you confidence when you’re feeling down.
