I love The Ready Set, so being able to listen at work was the best!

Because who doesn’t love a little Usher?

I got so hype every time I heard this at work, I’m not sure why.
4. “Something Different” by Why Don’t We
This one is so catchy to me and was really motivating!

I love this song! One of my friends from home played it one day randomly too and I didn’t even know these songs existed outside of the store.

You know this song from the very first note and you cannot escape it.
