Heaven KnowsThe Pretty Reckless

The Pretty Reckless – Heaven Knows (Official Music Video)

Pretty Reckless is fronted by Taylor Momsen, who was popular for playing a cute, modern teen in shows like Gossip Girl.

It turned out Taylor wasn’t the pure, wholesome type like her roles—she had a punky, darker edge—and when she started the band, that change in image surprised fans.

That said, her husky, powerful voice fits rock perfectly, and she’s no joke.

This track is a powerful song about blasting through everything and climbing back up.

It’s a rousing rock number.

American Authors – Best Day Of My Life

“Today is the best day of my life!” This is a song you’ll want to listen to when you’re turning 20, getting together with friends, and drinking alcohol for the first time at a party.

Even though it’s bad for your health, it might be okay to try a cigarette as a way to commemorate becoming an adult.

Just be careful not to get too carried away.

Avicii – Levels

Work, work, work every single day, always getting scolded by my boss—what kind of trial is this!? For my twenties birthday, I want to cut loose, unleash my true self, and have a blast! At times like that, this track is my recommendation.

The office worker in the music video endlessly hauling a giant boulder to a mountaintop evokes the myth of Sisyphus, while the sudden dancing in the office is delightfully surreal and fun.

For you, who are fed up after breaking up with your partner right before your birthday, I dedicate this song from Avril Lavigne’s edgier days.

Doesn’t it make you think of your teenage years and feel like you’ve got to enjoy your twenties birthday more—or you’ll be missing out?

Enchanted – Carrie Underwood – Ever Ever After

For anyone who wants to feel like a princess on their birthday, I dedicate the theme song from the movie Enchanted.

This film embraces every feeling—dreaming like a young girl, working hard as a career woman, falling in love, and doing your best at parenting—making it a perfect fit for hardworking women in their twenties.

This song is perfect for you in your twenties who just broke up with your partner right before your birthday.

You’re not a teen anymore, and even though you’re still in your twenties, you’re almost thirty—it’s easy to feel deflated.

But this track will lift you up.

“We’re still young!” Maybe it’s time to start putting in some effort for a new love?

A birthday in your twenties.

If you’re driving out to the sea, why not use this song as your BGM to boost the resort vibe? If possible, let a friend or your partner take the wheel, and relax in the passenger seat while you enjoy the view outside.
