I Don’t CareEd Sheeran & Justin Bieber
A collaboration I can wholeheartedly recommend even to those new to Western pop: Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber’s “I Don’t Care.” You’d expect a song and video as glamorous and high-end as their big-name pairing—but surprise, it’s delightfully cheap! We all have small daily worries and problems, but this breezy, easygoing track makes them all feel silly.

I’ll Be ThereWalk Off The Earth
“I’ll Be There” by the Canadian indie rock band Walk Off the Earth.
This song features an appealing, upbeat melody carried by a pleasantly rhythmic, almost folk-like groove.

Give it a listen and feel the overflowing passion!
High HopesPanic! At The Disco
Here’s “High Hopes,” a track by the hugely popular American rock band Panic! At The Disco that hits its peak right from the intro, which begins with a fanfare.
Personally, I absolutely love the verse around 1:04, and I’m incredibly moved by how it flows into the explosive, ringing chorus.
When I’m feeling down, I can’t help but replay it in my head.
How about you? It’s a song I’d love for everyone to relate to!
Look At Her NowSelena Gomez
Selena Gomez’s “Look At Her Now” features lyrics sung from a third-person perspective about “her,” which is striking and even gives off a somewhat dreamy, fantastical atmosphere.
So who is “her”? There’s no definitive answer—feel free to interpret it however you like.
Even without overthinking it, it’s simply a song whose world you can enjoy.
