Recently, I’ve been in a bit of an emotional slump, and when I'm feeling down, I always turn to music. We all feel down at times, so here I’ve narrowed it down to my top 10 songs I’ve been listening to that have been making me feel better in hopes you listen to them and feel uplifted. Enjoy!
10. I Feel It Coming - The Weeknd (feat. Daft Punk)
“You’ve been scared of love and what it did to you
You don’t have to run, I know what you’ve been through
Just a simple touch and it can set you free
We don’t have to rush when you’re alone with me”
9. Cruel - Snakehips (feat. ZAYN)
“It’s such a cruel world
Savin’ all my love for you, girl
It’s such a cruel world
Maybe I found somethin’ good, girl”
8. You Da One - Rihanna
“You the one that I dream about all day
You the one that I think about always
You are the one so I make sure I behave
My love is your love, your love is my love”
7. Be The One - Dua Lipa
“Oh baby come on, let me get to know you
Just another chance so that I can show
That I won’t let you down, oh no
No, I won’t let you down, oh no
Cause I could be the one”
6. Undercover - Kehlani
“Baby, they don’t wanna see me be happy
‘Cause they ain’t happy, no—they don’t got you
Somethin’ bout the way we be acting
Babe, we are magical”
5. Be Alright - Kehlani
“Someone once told me
Babe, when the tide gets high, you just get low
Hold your breath and take it slow
Yes I might get wet, I might get thrown
But I’ll resurface all on my own
I’ll be alright, be alright”
4. Heatstroke - Calvin Harris (feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams, and Ariana Grande)
“When you do things like this
And you set me free
How can anyone get tired?
When you do things like this
And you set me free
I think I’ve just been inspired”
3. Let’s Go - Khalid
“Leave your sorrow on the table
Pick up your worries and throw them out the window
You don’t gotta let your friends know
There’s so much trouble to get into”
2. Valerie - Amy Winehouse
“Since I’ve come on home
Well my body’s been a mess
And I’ve missed your ginger hair
And the way you like to dress
Won’t you come on over
Stop making a fool out of me
Why don’t you come on over, Valerie?
1. Crooked Smile - J. Cole (feat. TLC)
“You were the one that was tryna keep me way down
But like the sun, know you know I find my way back ‘round”
