Never EnoughLoren Allred

The Greatest Showman – Never Enough (Vídeo con letra)

A perfect song from the film The Greatest Showman to watch on April Fools’ Day.

In the story, the protagonist is mocked as a con artist and a fraud, but then he’s captivated by a stunning performance that proves she is the one with true talent.

The lyrics, evoking an insatiable hunger that can’t be satisfied no matter how successful you become, are also perfect for the start of a new year.

Pharell Williams – Freedom (OST Now You See Me 2) Music Video

For April Fools’ Day, a perfect pick with unexpected twists that will fool you is the Now You See Me series, where genius magicians take on crime.

The second film, Now You See Me 2, made headlines for featuring Daniel Radcliffe, famous for playing Harry Potter.

Pharrell Williams performs one of the insert songs.

LieRoya

Roya – Lie

This song is performed by a female singer from Aghdam, a city in Azerbaijan.

With lyrics like “I can see right through your lies,” it’s perfect for April Fools’ Day.

The bold music video is a must-see, too.

It might even work as a declaration of war against a cheating boyfriend.

Out of the BlackRoyal Blood

Royal Blood – Out of the Black

Speaking of movies perfect for April Fools’ Day, are you familiar with the German film “Who Am I: No System Is Safe,” which saves a big twist for the end? A Hollywood remake has been greenlit.

The insert song by a British rock duo is also really cool.

High Voltage: The Frank Popp Ensemble, from Swordfish

For an April Fools’ Day recommendation featuring a twist that will fool you, have you heard of Swordfish, starring John Travolta, Hugh Jackman, and Halle Berry? This was the background music the genius hacker protagonist uses while hacking.

It’s a cool and stylish film.

The SpectreAlan Walker

Alan Walker – The Spectre

It’s a song with memorable lyrics: “We live, we love, and we lie.” Its breezy EDM sound is nice to listen to alone on a spring night, but I also think it would be chic as background music when an April Fools’ surprise goes off without a hitch.
