Symbolically portraying human relationships as fragile and breakable like crystal, this song was released in July 2001 as a herald of New Order’s comeback.

8 on the UK Singles Chart and No.

Dance Club Songs chart.
Its distinctive blend of electronic and rock perfectly matches the late-winter atmosphere of February.
The lyrics, which trace the complex relationship between the band and its fans, are sure to resonate deeply with listeners.
It’s a song I recommend not only to students preparing for entrance exams or graduation, but to anyone struggling with relationships.
Do We Have a Problem?Nicki Minaj ft. Lil Baby
Released in February 2022, this hit song debuted impressively at No.
2 on the Billboard charts.
Nicki Minaj, the “Queen of Hip-Hop,” who quickly retracted her 2019 statement about retiring from the music industry and made headlines the following year with the birth of her first child, teamed up with fellow popular rapper Lil Baby for this track.
Over a serious trap beat, the cool back-and-forth between Nicki and Lil Baby is undeniably slick.
Also pay attention to the lyrics that reference talented rappers like Fivio Foreign, a rising star from Brooklyn, as well as the late Pop Smoke and Juice WRLD.

Cold Cold HeartNorah Jones
One song that hit in February, the season of school advancement and graduation, was Norah Jones’s “Cold Cold Heart.” It features a beautiful melody and her uniquely gentle yet wistful voice, making it approachable even for jazz beginners.
This ballad expresses the heartache of being unable to confess one’s love and being treated coldly by the other person.
With lyrics that evoke the feel of winter, it perfectly matches the atmosphere of February.
Thanks to Norah Jones’s rich expressiveness, the song resonates deeply with listeners.
If you’re looking back on Western songs that were hits in February, “Cold Cold Heart” is essential—highly recommended for times when you want to be wrapped in its beautiful melody, bittersweet lyrics, and Norah Jones’s warm vocals.

Pianist Zinovia Arvanitidi, who has worked extensively on music for films, teamed up with Hior Chronik, known for electronic music, to form the musical unit Pill-Oh.
Their debut album includes the track “February Tale.” It has no lyrics; its world is conveyed through birdsong and piano tones.
Although February usually evokes a cold image, the piece somehow feels warmly inviting.
