It's midterms time, and we are all in need of a 20 hour nap and an espresso IV drip. But unfortunately, nobody has time for a long nap or an endless supply of Carrot Cake Lattes. Sometimes all you need is a little break from your studies and an upbeat song or two to get you through the next few weeks until Thanksgiving. The songs below are 5 girl pop power bops to get you back in the groove.
1. "Can't Pin Me Down" - Marina and the Diamonds
The 7th track on her 2015 album "Froot", this song if great for reminding you how rad you really are. It's so catchy! You'll find yourself singing these lyrics all day long. "You can paint me any color, I can be your Russian doll. But you don't have my number, no you can't make me small." Show 'em who's boss!
2. "Pity Party" - Melanie Martinez
So maybe you're frustrated, you can't seem to get all the formulas right or this research project just isn't coming together. Melanie Martinez's "Pity Party" is the perfect song for you. "I'm laughing, I'm crying, it feels like I'm dying." Me too, Melanie.
3. "High By The Beach" - Lana Del Rey
4. "Gasoline" - Halsey
We can still reminisce over Summer, right? With all the assignments hitting me like a ton of bricks, I'd do anything to lay in the sand. Find this catchy tune on Lana's "Honeymoon" album.
5. "How To Be A Heartbreaker" - Marina And The Diamonds
"Are you insane like me? Been in pain like me?" bop to get you going. Exactly what I ask anyone who tells me that taking 18 hours wasn't a terrible idea. Found on Halsey's debut album "Badlands", this song is a surefire
This song from Marina's sophomore album "Electra Heart" screams "GIRL POWER". Super upbeat and catchy, it'll give you the confidence you need to pass that Biology exam. Or, of course, break some hearts.
So go out there, rock those midterms! You've got the power of girl pop and 10 times the recommended amount of caffeine in your blood, you can do anything!
