Western songs to listen to in winter: heart-touching winter songs

Let It GoNEW!Idina Menzel

Idina Menzel – Let It Go (from Frozen) (Official Video)

This is a song from the film Frozen, which was a huge hit worldwide.

It’s sung by Idina Menzel, a Broadway star and Tony Award–winning actress, famous for playing Elsa in the American version.

The song is truly an anthem of self-liberation, boldly declaring the resolve to break free from what’s been holding you back and live as your true self.

Her powerful vocals alone are enough to stir your heart and make you itch to sing along! This classic, which won Best Original Song at the 86th Academy Awards, is perfect for karaoke.

If you let your emotions explode and sing it with all your heart—as if blowing away all your worries—you’ll feel absolutely amazing.

Back to DecemberTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Back To December

Taylor Swift’s classic “Back to December,” released in 2010.

She has put out many songs, but when it comes to winter staples, this is likely the one many people think of.

She’s known for shifting from country music to pop, but at this point her work still strongly reflected country influences.

By the way, the lyrics portray a woman who breaks up with her boyfriend and then realizes how important he was.

Santa Tell MeAriana Grande

Ariana Grande – Santa Tell Me (Official Video)

Ariana Grande’s classic Christmas-themed song, “Santa Tell Me,” enjoys worldwide popularity.

It features a very poppy, catchy melody, and its vibe is somewhat reminiscent of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Since Ariana Grande debuted with the tagline of being a ‘second Mariah,’ she may well have been consciously inspired by her.

Sweet but PsychoAva Max

Ava Max – Sweet but Psycho [Official Music Video]

Ava Max’s hit song “Sweet but Psycho.” Released in 2018, this track is crafted as stylish dance-pop.

It’s not specifically a Christmas or winter-themed song, but I think its melody is perfect for driving on a winter night.

The lyrics are quite unusual, portraying a psychopathic woman cautioning herself about her crazy love life (lol).

Definitely give it a listen!

MistletoeJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Mistletoe (Official Music Video)

Justin Bieber’s classic song “Mistletoe,” released in 2011.

These days, perhaps because he incorporates hip-hop and other styles, Justin Bieber gives off a slightly bad-boy vibe, but back then—partly due to his age—he still had a cute, boyish charm.

The track features striking sleigh-bell sounds that make it perfect for winter.

With its languid, wistful melody, it’s recommended for those who want to spend a relaxed Christmas with their significant other.

So SickNe-Yo

Ne-Yo – So Sick (Official Music Video)

Ne-Yo’s classic hit “So Sick.” Released in 2006, this song is the epitome of mainstream R&B, and it reached No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 not only in the United States but also in the United Kingdom.

The definition of R&B became blurry from the late 2010s, but R&B from this era has such wonderful consistency across songs.

While it’s not explicitly a winter-themed track, the music video was shot in snowy mountains, so I think Ne-Yo himself had winter in mind.

Pat Benatar is an American singer-songwriter and actress who has been active since 1972.

She has won the Grammy Award four times.

This track was released in 1981, reached No.

2 on the U.

S.

charts, and won a Grammy.
