Welcome to OPOW, a playlist for making everyday your Birthday! Some songs will be old. Some songs will be new. Overall, they will be full great music. Instead of five songs, this playlist will have seven songs! Here are your seven songs in this week’s playlist:

Michael Jackson “Smooth Criminal”


The King Of Pop himself. Michael Jackson will moonwalk with one of his hit songs from 1987’s “Bad”, “Smooth Criminal.” “Smooth Criminal” is a story-like song about a girl named Annie who is chased and killed by a Smooth Criminal. No one knows if Annie is really okay in the song. However, “Smooth Criminal” provides a dramatic but energetic production to make Jackson’s song into an awesome mystery. Plus, anti-gravity lean. Enough said.

Wonder Girls “Candle (ft. Paloalto)”


From their most successful 2015 album “Reboot,” Wonder Girls will have your heart racing with their song “Candle.” “Candle” is about anticipating sexual pleasure from the lover. Along with a rap feature from Paolato, its 80s synths and upbeat sounds become attracting and wanting to listen on repeat. Wonder Girls will light up your weekend with “Candle.”

U-Kiss “Standing Still”


From 80s throwback to experimenting with house music, Korean boy group U-Kiss comes to the music industry strong with “Standing Still.” Released from their album “Collage,” “Standing Still” expresses a partner’s heartbreak over a lover who treated them badly. “Standing Still” experiments with house music and still makes it wondrous to listen to.

Kahi “It’s Me”


From her 2013 album of the same time, Korean singer Kahi sings “It’s Me.” This Euro-synth song is about having confidence and not afraid to find love. “It’s Me” sets a mature sound in the K-Pop genre. This song lets anyone who listens feel confident and wanting to strut in the streets.

Mary J. Blige “Just Fine”


From her 2004 album “Growing Pains,” Queen of Hip-Hop and R&B Mary J. Blige gives her listeners confidence with “Just Fine.” This uplifting song is about being comfortable with yourself and letting yourself know that everything will be just fine. This is an anthem for anyone who needs a self-esteem boost and reminds them that it will alright.

Tori Kelly “Confetti”


Another self-empowerment song! From her 2013 EP “Handmade Songs By Tori Kelly,” Tori Kelly croons to the Birthday folks with “Confetti.” While the song is not about celebrating a holiday or one’s literal Birthday, “Confetti” is about finding yourself and finding your passion through Kelly’s narratives. Like Mary J. Blige, this mellow track embraces individuality and finding yourself through the obstacles life throws at you. With her strong lyrics and unforgettable vocals, Tori Kelly will rain “Confetti” to celebrate your self-empowerment.

Coco Lee “A Love Before Time”


From the movie “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” Chinese-American singer Coco Lee sings one of movies’ iconic song “A Love Before Time.” The song is about how two lovers will find each other after going apart from each other. “A Love Before Time” mixes traditional Chinese production with contemporary pop to create a memorable song for the movie.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
