Kesha – THE ONE. (Official Visualizer)

This powerful pop anthem from Kesha reminds us that the “one and only” we’ve been searching for is none other than ourselves.

Hailing from the United States, she shot to stardom after her debut, then went through a difficult period.

Her triumphant comeback with the 2017 album Rainbow inspired many.

This track comes from her album .

(Period), released through the label she founded.

Its radiant sound carries an overwhelming message of self-affirmation that mirrors her own story.

When you’re ready to move past painful experiences and take a new step, it might help you realize that you yourself are the answer you’ve been looking for.

Kim Petras – Polo (Official Visualizer)

A fearless club anthem from German-born pop star Kim Petras, who’s even taken home a Grammy! It explodes with such high-octane energy that it’s hard to believe it was made while she had three broken toes.

The track portrays a protagonist stripping off the clothes of others’ expectations and unleashing their true self.

Its provocative message—“Look at me more”—hits hard and shakes listeners to the core.

Premiered at PRIDE festivals and buzzing even before its official June 2025 release, this song might just make you feel unstoppable, ready to smash through any wall.

AvalancheKaty B

Katy B – Avalanche (Official Visualiser)

This is a work released in July 2025 by Katy B, a London-born singer who has led the UK dance scene.

She’s also known for the classic album Little Red, which hit No.

1 in the UK in 2014, but this release strongly signals a return to her club roots.

Its passionate message—likening an unstoppable rush of love to an avalanche—is truly breathtaking.

The high-energy, fast-paced track produced by UK garage up-and-comer Silva Bumpa practically begs for festival sing-alongs.

And the fact that Katy herself has said this is the song she enjoyed performing live the most speaks volumes about its power.

Isn’t it the perfect track for a night you want to dance away on the floor?

RejectsGood Charlotte

Good Charlotte – Rejects (Official Video)

This is the opening track of Good Charlotte’s first album in seven years, from the American rock band that helped define pop-punk’s golden era.

Its energetic sound, reminiscent of the early 2000s, marks a compelling return to their roots that longtime fans will love.

The lyrics, which sing of the struggles and defiant spirit of “misfits” who don’t fit society’s idea of normal, carry a message about the importance of staying true to yourself.

The song serves as the lead single from the album “Motel Du Cap,” set for release in August 2025, and their high-octane performance on a popular show also drew plenty of buzz.

It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to break through the status quo or need the courage to stand up to injustice!

Born To Be WildSteppenwolf

Steppenwolf – Born To Be Wild (Easy Rider) (1969)

It’s a lively, quintessentially American song.

Whether you ride a motorcycle or not, this track will make your body start moving naturally.

It also evokes the romance of a man setting off on a journey.

I bet many people bought Steppenwolf’s album just for this one song.

It shows up often in Hollywood movies and the like, so I think it’s a very famous track.
