If you want to warm your heart in a season where the chill still lingers, we recommend “Levitating Featuring DaBaby.” Its blend of weightless, spacey vibes and glittering disco sound wraps you in an uplifting feeling that makes your body move naturally just by listening.

The worldbuilding, which likens the joy of love to a journey through the galaxy, is wonderful too.

It became a historic long-running global hit, topping the U.S.

Billboard Year-End chart in 2021.

It’s also known for gaining popularity through dance posts on TikTok.

It’s perfect for anyone looking to feel positive heading into spring or searching for the ideal driving soundtrack.

Khalid – Young Dumb & Broke (Official Video)

This song is notable for Khalid’s vocals floating over a gentle melody.

The lyrics, which seem to speak for the younger generation, depict the everyday life and romance of high schoolers.

It carries an uplifting message that even without money, love is enough, and listening to it gives you energy.

Released in June 2017, the track is included on Khalid’s debut album, American Teen.

It’s perfect as background music for Instagram Stories, so it’s a great pick when posting fun memories with friends.

Coldplay – A Sky Full Of Stars (Official Video)

It’s such a beautiful song that listening to it while gazing at the night sky makes you feel as if you might see shooting stars and a stunning starry sky.

It fills you with happiness as you think of someone precious to you in the vastness of the universe.

It’s not an upbeat, high-energy track, but it’s one you should listen to at least once.

Ariana Grande – Focus (Official Video)

If you’ve got a crush, this is the song you’ll want playing in the car when the two of you go for a drive.

Its straightforward message combined with a lively tempo makes it an easy listen.

It’s also likely the song many people know as one of her standout tracks.

Viva La VidaColdplay75rank/position

Coldplay – Viva La Vida (Official Video)

Coldplay is a British rock band formed in London in 1996.

Released in 2008, this song was inspired by the paintings of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.

It depicts the mindset of a ruler who, despite wielding immense power, ultimately loses everything, weaving in imagery from the French Revolution and Christianity.

Its grand orchestration and bright melody strikingly contrast with the melancholy of the lyrics, expressing the ups and downs of life in a universal way.

The work won Song of the Year at the 2009 Grammy Awards and topped both the U.S.

and U.K.

charts.

It was also used in an Apple iPod commercial, and is recommended for those who wish to reflect on the futility of power and the impermanence of life.

Ava Max – Sweet but Psycho [Official Music Video]

Ava Max’s hit song “Sweet but Psycho.” Released in 2018, this track is crafted as stylish dance-pop.

It’s not specifically a Christmas or winter-themed song, but I think its melody is perfect for driving on a winter night.

The lyrics are quite unusual, portraying a psychopathic woman cautioning herself about her crazy love life (lol).

Definitely give it a listen!
