I think Coldplay’s classic “Speed of Sound” would also make an excellent BGM choice.

It has a calm, slow tempo, and the vocals are delivered in a measured style, so it shouldn’t disrupt the atmosphere.

It also has a mature vibe, so please enjoy it in a way that suits the setting!

The group is an electronic music and improvisation duo formed by John Richards and Hilary Jeffery.

“Oh No” makes heavy use of localized expressions common among American rappers and contains quite a few strong, provocative phrases in its lyrics.

However, the backing chorus in the track has vocal effects that give it a mechanical tone, so despite being in the hip-hop genre, it also has a digital feel, making it a track that’s often used on social media.
