I had a job interview today and if there's anything I know, the right songs can help you feel ready and confident for anything. Here's a few I had in mind:

"Only Angel" by Harry Styles

https://www.axs.com/deconstructing-harry-styles-a-track-by-track-analysis-of-the-former-bo-118497

I may be biased, but Harry Styles is my favorite human being. However this song can really getcha jammin — I had it on repeat all day if I'm 100% honest with you.

"Humble" by Kendrick Lamar

https://www.startalkradio.net/show/the-truthiness-with-stephen-colbert/kendrick-lamar-damn/

Need i say more? Kendrick is a great hype artist. I recommend most of his songs, to be quite honest. An honorable mention is King Kunta off his album "To Pimp a Butterfly."

"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC

https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-razors-edge-mw0000690074

Yeah, my music taste is a little all over the place. My goal is to have something for everyone though! They play this song at all my school's home football games.

"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jazz/930190906

I think this one is a no brainer.

"Power" by Kanye West

https://www.deezer.com/en/track/7667059

If you skip this one because of how weird Kanye has been lately, I completely understand. I also heavily debated adding this one because I've been trying to listen to him less and less, but this song is literally called "Power," so it was definitely fitting.

"Freedom" by Beyonce

https://www.vulture.com/2016/04/album-review-beyonce-lemonade.html

Basically all of Beyonce's "Lemonade" would be appropriate for this.

"All We Got" by Chance the Rapper

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiyhYuRu93gAhXJiFQKHQAPDCwQjB16BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fchancetherapper%2Fsets%2Fcoloring-book&psig=AOvVaw1KFsLFgcyKoL6UcJfKBDct&ust=1551410097095140

I have listened to Chance's album "Coloring Book" so much that I truly never get sick of it.

"Loving is Easy" by Rex Orange County

https://twitter.com/rexorangecounty/status/918480286895300611

This song makes me happy when truly nothing else can. I promise it can fix anything.

"Happily" by One Direction

https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/midnight-memories-deluxe-edition/695318295

You really thought I would put a Harry song first and not do a One Direction song? Nah, man.

"High Hopes" by Panic! at the Disco

https://www.axs.com/panic-at-the-disco-give-fans-high-hopes-with-new-single-130574

If you're not sick of this song, (I certainly am not) then I highly recommend it for anytime when you need some hype.

"Rollercoaster" by Bleachers

https://genius.com/Bleachers-rollercoaster-lyrics

This song off Bleacher's album, "Strange Desire," is perfect for any hype up needs.

"Tongue Tied" by Grouplove

https://genius.com/Grouplove-tongue-tied-lyrics

This song has the capabilities to hype you up for any occasion. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

"High Horse" by Kacey Musgraves

https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Hour/dp/B07B3GH75W

Had to add this one for all of you country listeners out there.

"Don't Rain on my Parade" by Barbra Streisand (from Funny Girl)

https://www.cdandlp.com/en/barbra-streisand/funny-girl/cd/r117051851/

How could anything truly get you down after listening to this song?
