RUNAWAYOneRepublic
The chorus melody is so insanely catchy you’ll remember it after just one listen—it feels like the arrival of a new killer tune that will color 2023! OneRepublic, the hugely popular pop-rock band, released “RUNAWAY” in May 2023, their first new track since “I Ain’t Worried,” which came out as part of the soundtrack for the 2022 blockbuster Top Gun: Maverick.
As mentioned, its endlessly catchy, up-tempo beat is the kind of sound that appeals to everyone, and it’s definitely perfect as driving music.
Be sure to check out the music video too, which features scenes from their Asia tour, including Japan.
DON’T YOU WORRYBlack Eyed Peas, Shakira, David Guetta
When you’re feeling down after failing at something, I want you to listen to “DON’T YOU WORRY.” It was created by the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas, Colombian singer Shakira, and French trackmaker David Guetta.
The song carries the message that although life has its lowest points, things will definitely turn around.
I also recommend it as a track where each of their musical styles is beautifully fused.
Stay With Me(ft Justin Timberlake, Halsey & Pharrell)Calvin Harris
There are times when work or school keeps you so busy that you just don’t have the energy to have fun, right? In moments like that, I recommend listening to “Stay With Me (ft.
Justin Timberlake, Halsey & Pharrell).” This track is a work by singer-songwriter Calvin Harris, and it also features Justin Timberlake, Pharrell, and Halsey.
The lyrics are all about forgetting the bad stuff and just having a good time.
With the high-energy performances from all four artists, it’s sure to lift your spirits!
Been Like ThisMeghan Trainor, T-Pain
Riding on an exhilarating rhythm and a cool beat, Meghan Trainor and T-Pain deliver a track that celebrates confident attitude and individuality.
Championing the strength to value your true self and not be swayed by outside voices, this song carries a powerful message that lifts listeners up.
Released in March 2024, the track is a lead single from Meghan’s sixth studio album, Timeless.
As if to celebrate her growth, it flawlessly blends classic charm with a modern sound.
It’s a song sure to give you a boost when you’re feeling down or losing confidence.
FlowersMiley Cyrus
Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus, who is also active as an actress and philanthropist.
Her song “Flowers,” included on her 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, depicts moments of reminiscing about days spent with a loved one.
The lyrics, which overcome the sadness of growing apart and resolve to cherish oneself, are sure to lift your spirits.
Set to a bright dance beat that seems to cheer on those embarking on a new path, it’s a dance track that showcases her energetic vocals.
Vitamin SeaOwl City
A solo project by Adam Young, Owl City.
Their distinctive pop music, rooted in synth-pop and emo, is often described as dreamy electropop.
Owl City’s new song is “Vitamin Sea.” Its melody, tinged with alternative rock, and its catchy lyrics will be a great source of strength for anyone dealing with worries.
Highly recommended for those who want a bright, uplifting tune to boost their spirits.
Lift Me UpRihanna
In October 2022, Rihanna released her first new song in over six years, “Lift Me Up,” which generated enormous buzz.
The track was included on the soundtrack for the film Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, released in November of the same year, and serves as its lead song.
Beyond the excitement of a long-awaited release from the global superstar, the lyrics of “Lift Me Up” have drawn attention for being dedicated to Chadwick Boseman, who rose to worldwide fame as the star of Black Panther but sadly passed away from illness in 2020.
Rihanna’s emotive performance of the beautiful melody feels almost like a prayer, radiating a sense of compassion and warmth that can make listeners forget their troubles and minor frustrations.
